Pineapple contains a significant amount of vitamin

Pineapple contains a significant amount of vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant that fights cell damage, according to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. This makes vitamin C a helpful fighter against problems such as heart disease and joint pain.

Pineapple may help you keep standing tall and strong. One cup of raw pineapple chunks contains 2.6 mg of manganese, a mineral that's important for developing strong bones and connective tissue, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. A 1994 study suggested that manganese, along with other trace minerals, may be helpful in preventing osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. But unlike many other fruits and veggies, pineapple contains significant amounts of bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down protein, which may help with digestion, according to the American Cancer Society. Multiple studies have suggested that bromelain could also be helpful in treating osteoarthritis.

Excessive inflammation is often associated with cancer, and according to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, bromelain and other proteolytic enzymes have been shown to increase the survival rates of animals with various tumors.

A lot of ? About nitric oxide. Here is some info.
WHAT DOES OUR ENDOTHELIUM DO?

In 1998, researchers were awarded a Nobel Prize in medicine when they discovered some of the inner secrets of the endothelium. Once thought to be just a “wallpaper” between blood and the wall of our arteries, the endothelium is now understood to be the key to living a long and healthy life.
The cells are thin and yet very active, making hormones, permitting the passage of messaging chemicals, and maintaining proper blood vessel function. One of the key molecules made by our endothelium is nitric oxide (NO), which, when identified, was the reason the Nobel Prize was awarded. One of the surest signs of health is generous NO production, and the converse is true of many common diseases, including diabetes mellitus. Some of the key functions of a healthy endothelium are:
Prevention of inappropriate blood clotting
Relaxation of arteries, promoting normal blood pressure
Prevention of inflammation and plaques
Smooth blood flow to deliver nutrients for cell metabolism
Facilitation of glucose uptake and healthy blood sugars
WHAT HARMS OUR ENDOTHELIUM?

All the classic risk factors for early heart and artery damage such as smoking, elevated blood sugar (pre-diabetes and diabetes), obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol (particularly oxidized LDL cholesterol, which I measure in my clinic), can damage our endothelium.
Foods such as processed meals high in fat also quickly damage our endothelium. Some additional factors that directly damage our endothelium are elevated homocysteine levels and hs-CRP inflammatory particles, which can also be measured.
HOW CAN WE BOOST OUR ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION?

We all want a healthy endothelium for wellness, longevity, optimal fitness, sexual responsiveness, and heart attack and stroke prevention. Maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and practicing vitamin “L” habits are key.
Certain foods can also boost the production of NO and reverse ED to power our health. These are foods with rich concentrations of L-arginine, including:
Spinach, both green and red, kale, bok choy
Rhubarb
Beets
Watermelon, including the rind
Pine nuts, garlic

Want to live 10 years longer? @harvardchansph say

Want to live 10 years longer? @harvardchansph says avoid five bad health habits: smoking, not exercising, being overweight, drinking too much alcohol and eating an unhealthy diet. The research is an extension of a study published last year that followed more than 38,000 men for 28 years and 73,000 women for 34 years.

That research found women who adopted all five healthy habits at age 50 lived 14 years longer than women who did not; men who were following all five lifestyle factors at age 50 lived 12 years longer than men who followed none.

This new study, published Wednesday in the journal BMJ, examined the same data to see how chronic disease affected the quality of life during the study period.
