They're loaded with antioxidants, packed with vitamins, rich in fibre. They're free of fats and cholesterol and make for an amazing low-calorie snack! We're talking about none other than strawberries.
The heart-shaped silhouette speaks volumes about its benefits. Strawberries are known to increase good cholesterol and lower blood pressure. They contain antioxidants and plant compounds including Ellagic acid and Pelargonidin, an anthocyanidin, which are both beneficial for overall health.
Strawberries possess the ability to fight oxidative stress, which may keep certain kinds of cancers away. In addition to that, they may also prevent the growth of tumors and inflammation.
The gorgeous red colour of strawberries come from significant amounts of phytonutrients and flavanoids. High in fibre, they have a satiating effect and will give you sufficient amounts of vitamin C, K and Folic acid.
You get them fresh off the shelf, frozen, or in the form of jams or syrups. The best way to relish them is by making a delicious fresh strawberry salad. Make your own mocktail or add sliced strawberries to yoghurt. You can also top your pancakes or waffles with them.
Despite being a healthy option, fruits typically contain sugar. Strawberries must be consumed in moderation, specially for those with kidney ailments.
