4. Pineapple

A few hundred years ago Europe's aristocracy viewed this tropical fruit as a great delicacy. One British aristocrat was so amazed at the pineapple that he commissioned a building on his estate in this shape! Now that it is so readily available pineapple has lost its mystique, but if you study how it helps fight off infections, you find many more reasons to be impressed.

For example, it contains a substance called bromelain that reduces the infections the body's immune system generates and it lessens the risks of strokes and heart disease. Pineapples supply healthy doses of vitamin C and B1, and they help to boost your manganese and potassium levels.
