The yummy pineapple heals damaged tissues. Nibbling on 1 cup of the juicy fruit a day helps soothe sore muscles in as little as 10 days. The credit goes to enzymes in the fruit that break up fibrin - a tissue-irritating protein that builds up in damaged muscles. Choose fresh or frozen pineapple - canned won't offer the same benefits since the enzymes are destroyed when the fruit is heated.
