Pineapple
This fruit is an anti-inflammatory food. It helps suppress inflammation. Both the fruit and its main constituent, an antibacterial enzyme called bromelain, are anti-inflammatory. The use of this fruit has thus been found valuable in preventing arthritis and other rheumatic afflictions. Fresh pineapple juice reduces swelling and inflammation both in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. An exclusive diet of fresh pineapple juice for few day and repeated at regular intervals will help greatly in relieving symptoms of these diseases.

Pineapple contains Trytophan - which is the precursor to the neurotransmitter Serotonin which is highly influential to our mood and has been implicated in many of the mental health issues.
Notable low serotonin is linked with depression, hence eating pineapple may increase trytophan thus increasing serotonin..
So in short it may make you feel happier on some level..
There are other health benefits too - like all fruits! :)

While pineapple may contain some compounds with medicinal activity (such as bromelain, already mentioned), pineapple (per se) is NOT USED medicinally as such. There are no known conditions that are responsive to pineapple.

Pineapple is high in the enzyme "bromelain" which is recommended for healing...especially bruises, but some recommend it when healing after surgery as well.
