Reasons you should include that 1 cup of pineapples in your diet

Pineapples are one of the most popular fruits in the world and it is great that they are available all year round.  They have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavor that balances the tastes of sweet and tart but most importantly, they are healthy and nutritious.  Below are more reasons to love the pineapple fruit.

#They build and maintain strong bones

Pineapples contain manganese which is a trace mineral your body needs to build bones and connective tissues.

#They are packed with Minerals and Vitamins

Pineapples are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, Calcium, potassium and phosphorus. They are also rich in fiber and low in fat and cholesterol which promote good health.

#They help maintain gum health

Eating pineapples daily helps strengthen your gums which in turn will help keep your teeth healthy and strong.

#They help alleviate Arthritis

Pineapples have anti-inflammatory properties which can ease the pain of arthritis while at the same time strengthen bones.

#They help lower the risk of Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is the primary cause of vision loss in adults. Including pineapples in your diet can lower the risk of this disease by about 36%.

#They Improve digestion

Pineapples contain Bromelain which has protein digesting properties that keep the digestive tract healthy. They also neutralize fluids in the body to ensure they are not too acidic. They also help regulate secretions in the pancreas to aid in digestion.

#They help prevent coughs and colds

Pineapples are rich in Vitamin C which gives them the ability to fight viruses that cause colds. Eating pineapples combined with the right medication for your sickness can help you recover more quickly.

Coca Cola To Remove Controversial Chemical From Fanta

(Reuters) - The Coca-Cola Company said on Monday it will remove a controversial flavoring stabilizer from some of its drinks, following rival PepsiCo Inc’s announcement earlier this year that it would drop the same ingredient from its drinks.

The ingredient, brominated vegetable oil (BVO), is a chemical containing bromine, which is found in fire retardants. Small quantities of BVO are used legally in some citrus-flavored drinks in the United States to keep the flavor evenly distributed.

Coca-Cola said the ingredient was dropped from two flavors of its Powerade drink – fruit punch and strawberry lemonade – earlier this year. The company expects to remove it from its Fanta and Fresca sods, and as well as citrus-flavored fountain drinks, by year’s end for U.S. consumers.

The company said it will also remove the ingredient in its products sold globally but did not provide a timeline.

Coke, which has said its use of BVO was safe for consumers, will use as a replacement sucrose acetate isobutyrate, which it has used for over a decade in some drinks, or glycerol ester of rosin, a ingredient commonly found in chewing gums and drinks, the company said.

The use of the chemical in sports drinks has drawn concern from consumers as well as from a Mississippi teenager, Sarah Kavanagh, who circulated two online petitions to put pressure on Coca-Cola and PepsiCo to remove the ingredient from their drinks.

Kavanagh’s PepsiCo petition received more than 200,000 signatures and, after the company announced the change in late January, the teenager declared victory. The Coca Cola petition had been signed by some 60,000 people as of Monday.

“I knew that if Gatorade could do the right thing, so could Powerade,” Kavanagh said. “I’m glad to know the Powerade sold at my school and consumed by people around the world will be a little bit healthier without BVO in it.”

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food safety watchdog group, BVO is a “poorly tested and possibly dangerous food additive and there’s no reason to use it in Gatorade or other drinks.”

Manchester City Wins Premier League

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City won the Premier League for the second time in three seasons with a 2-0 victory over West Ham on goals by Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany.

Two years ago, City won the title on goal difference ahead of neighbor Manchester United after coming from behind to beat Queens Park Rangers on the final day. Sunday’s victory, however, meant Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Newcastle at Anfield was meaningless, and City finished two points above the Merseyside club.

As soon as the final whistle was blown, thousands of fans flooded the Etihad Stadium field, setting off blue flares.

City spent just 15 days in first place during a season when the lead changed hands 25 times. But Manuel Pellegrini’s club surged to the top when it mattered most.
