Give your health a boost this winter with a nutritional punch from pineapple. Pineapple is a natural, dietary way to boost your immune system, fight inflammation, and even fight coughs, congestion, and parasites!

Pineapple juice, salt, pepper, and honey. But it has to be raw pineapple juice to be effective. Or here’s a tastier recipe: pineapple juice, lemon juice, raw ginger, honey, and cayenne pepper.
