A ½-cup serving of diced pineapple contains 115 milligrams of potassium and 45 percent of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Potassium can help reduce the effect of salt on your blood pressure, and vitamin C plays an important role in the body's healing processes as well as gum and tooth health.

Energy Density

Foods with high water content and low energy density, such as pineapple and other fruits, can help you feel full without eating too many calories, according to the Mayo Clinic website. To use low-energy dense foods such as pineapple to your advantage, reduce your portion of a higher energy-dense food, such as meat, cheese or grains, and replace the volume with a serving of fresh pineapple.
