The Benefits of fresh pineapple:

A cup of fresh pineapple chunks eaten will give your body 73 percent of the manganese it needs for the day. Manganese, a trace mineral, is needed for your body to build bone and connective tissues. A recent study found that a combination of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and manganese resulted in significant improvement for people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee.

Bromelain, an enzyme in pineapple, reduces inflammation and will help ease the discomfort of arthritis.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture have also been proven to be very effective in treating the pain and symptoms of arthritis.
