Is This Tropical Fruit Better Than Creatine?

In this article, I want to tell you about an old-time bodybuilding power food that can boost your recovery, improve digestion AND even ease joint pain.

And you might even find this old-time bodybuilding food to be better than creatine!

Here is the deal:

In the early 1900s, old-time boxers would actually eat large amounts of pineapple before their fights.

Why?

Boxers discovered when they ate pineapple before a fight, they had less bruising and faster recovery after the fight.

Turns out there is an ingredient in pineapple called bromelein. Bromelein is proven to speed muscle recovery. But it also improves digestion.

Do not take my word for it.

Leroy Colbert - the first man to build 19 inch arms - has told how he and others witnessed Marvin Eder bringing pineapple to the gym.

You see, back then the common way to gain muscle and size was to drink a gallon of milk per day. Unfortunately, this can cause digestion problems.

But Marvin figured out that if he ate pineapple, he could consume gallons of milk and plenty of meat without any digestion problems. And this is part of the reason why he was able to build such an incredible physique before steroids were even invented!

So if you want to MAXIMIZE your digestion and speed your recovery between workouts, try eating some pineapple every day. You will be amazed at how this all-natural food can help you build muscle and gain strength.

If Marvin Eder was able to build superhuman strength and muscle with nothing more than hard work, milk and pineapple - then it's certainly worth a shot.
