PINEAPPLE
Bromelain, the digestive enzyme in pineapple, has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. This helps when you have an infection, like sinusitis, or an injury, like a sprain or burn.
SPINACH
Spinach is high in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and more. It has been linked to several health benefits, including improved bone health, skin, and hair.
