Lime
Lime has a high enough vitamin C. You need to know, vitamin C contained in limes boosts the immune system. In a 2018 study, vitamin C can help produce white blood cells. And can help protect the body from infection and disease. In the same study, when humans consume limes, the content contained in limes can prevent colds and promote healing of inflammation.

Lime is a great source of antioxidants that can strengthen your immunity. In addition, lime helps stimulate the digestive system by breaking down food macromolecules. The acid content in lime has benefits for cleaning the body's waste disposal system. The fiber in limes can help relieve constipation.

It is one of the most tropical fruits in Indonesia. Pineapples have many benefits to our bodies. One is the battle against aging and can increase our resistance. Pineapples have an excellent vitamin c for boosting our bodies. It also has very high antioxidants that are good for the body. The antioxidant content of the pineapple increases overall skin texture. And it can actually form collagen in our skin.

In addition, pineapple can also overcome digestive problems. Pineapple has a bromelain component which breaks down protein more quickly. So it actually speeds up the digestive process. If you experience constipation and bloating, you can consume pineapple to overcome these problems.
