Benefits of Strawberries



Why strawberries??


Diet

One cup of strawberries contains over 13% of the RDA of dietary fiber, yet only 43 calories. The dietary fiber in strawberries helps to keep digestion regular, as well as lowers blood pressure and curbs overeating.

Antioxidants

Strawberries contain a chemical compound called phenol, Anthocyanin.

Anti-Inflammatory

The phenol in strawberries also fight against many inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis, asthma and atherosclerosis.

Anti-Cancer 

The combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents found in strawberries is well-known to fight against the onset of many different forms of cancer.

Healthy Eyes

The Archives of Ophthalmology recently published a study in which three or more servings of strawberries (and other fruits) per day can decrease the possibility of contracting age-related macular degeneration by over one-third.

Bone Health

The potassium, vitamin K, and magnesium in strawberries are also important for bone health.
