With an Italian background the holidays mean two things: family and food! This got me thinking of an easy and natural digestive aid to sneak onto the table this Christmas.

Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain helps us digest food by breaking down proteins. Since many of our holiday proteins are cooked (with love), their own digestive enzymes are lost. A simple aid like pineapple may help reduce bloating and indigestion. Generally we eat fruit alone, but let's call this an exception.

Don't forget to leave a slice for Santa! 💛

Health tip of the day: Eat fruit alone! Since fruit is a superstar, it digests faster than other foods. When eaten with other foods, it hangs around in your tummy longer than it should, causing bloating and discomfort.
