General
If the pineapple is organically grown, then you can juice the rind too.
The rind of the pineapple is the primary source for the bromelain, a natural digestive enzyme that is also known to be a natural anti–inflammatory.
This is one of my favorite fruits to juice. You will be surprised at how delicious this juice is even after juicing the rind.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.
Unlike flow yoga
, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.
Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.
If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
