There is nothing more refreshing in the summertime than some nice fresh pineapple to snack on. It turns out that pineapple is good for rheumatoid arthritis as well.

For best anti-inflammatory effect make sure that you eat the pineapple alone between meals. Pineapple is nutrient rich in potassium, calcium, vitamins To read more....http://www.livingrheum.com/2009/05/20/pineapple-for-rheumatoid-arthritis/

Living Rheum- Hey, thanks for the advice! I love pineapple!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to go out and pick some up. Isn't it interesting that many times my body craves certain foods that invariably turn out to be good for me. The problem is that I so often don't listen!!!! I'm craving pineapple right now and I am gonna listen this time. Thanks again!

I find this very interesting too that I lived 38 years of my life never craving pineapple, but around the time I was diagnosed w/ RA, I started craving pineapple & was eating them like crazy. When I was told to take bromelain to help w/ RA, I found out that it came from pineapple.

That is really interesting! It pays to listen to what your body is telling you.

Problem is, my body tells me I want beer! Stupid body!! I like pineapple though. Perhaps that would be better for me.

I am sorry that healthcentral let you put up this dishonest "ad".

Of course pineapple will not help these poor people. You should be ashamed of yourself using this honest helpful site to try to get people to buy your products.

I am not selling anything. I am not sure what you are referring to. The information in this post is accurate. It is too bad that some people in this world always want to think the worst. I do feel sorry for those folks.

Yeah it is good - gives me quite a lot of relief. I eat a whole small one over the day. I have an allergic reaction to a drug I used for skin cancer and as soon as it is gone I am going back on Nalgesic which is the herb tumeric - I get the forte strength (extra strong and 7.5 mgs per day). It was making a real difference to inflammation and pain and can't wait to go back on it.
