Health benefits of strawberries**
Support healthy digestive function - A cup of fresh, organic strawberries contains three grams of dietary fiber per cup. With its high fiber content, strawberries can support a healthy digestive system and regular bowel movements.
Support healthy cardiovascular function - Strawberries are heart-healthy snacks that are loaded with nutrients that support healthy cardiovascular function, such as fiber, potassium, magnesium and folate. Strawberries are also known to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.
Support healthy immune function - Strawberries are one of the best natural sources of vitamin C, an essential nutrient that your body needs for optimal immune health. Strawberries also contain a variety of other immune-supporting nutrients, such as iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, folate and vitamin K.
Support healthy eye function - Strawberries contain high levels of antioxidant plant compounds that can protect your eyes against oxidative damage and support optimal eye health. Some of these potent antioxidants include vitamin C, quercetin and flavonoids.
Support healthy cognitive function - A study that appeared in the journal Annals of Neurology indicated that the regular consumption of strawberries can support healthy cognitive function in older adults. This is likely due to their high content of a compound called fisetin, as well as other nutrients, such as manganese, flavonoids and anthocyanidins.
Support the growth of healthy skin - Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, anthocyanins and other antioxidants that help protect your skin against damage caused by free radicals. They also contain other skin-healthy compounds, such as salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and ellagic acid.
Supports your body's natural process of elimination - Strawberries support your body's natural process of eliminating unwanted toxins by providing plenty of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber, as well as vitamins A and C. These nutrients help restore the health of your digestive tract, allowing it to work more efficiently.
Naturally elevate your mood - Like many other brightly-colored berries, strawberries contain high levels of antioxidant flavonoids which can have a positive impact on your mood. The regular consumption of flavonoid-rich strawberries can support your body's natural production of serotonin, which is also known as your body's "feel-good hormone."
Strawberries are a rich source of vitamin C and other potent antioxidants**
Strawberries contain a surprisingly high amount of vitamin C. In fact, a single cup of fresh strawberries can provide approximately 100 mg of vitamin C. This essential nutrient supports the healthy functions of your skin, heart, bones and connective tissues, as well as your immune and digestive systems. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C is also very effective at combating oxidative stress and supporting overall health.
Aside from vitamin C, strawberries also contain high levels of natural anthocyanin pigment antioxidants, such as pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins and procyanidins. Of the more than 25 different anthocyanins found in strawberries, pelargonidin is the most abundant. A study that appeared in The Journal of Nutrition indicates that strawberries are one of the top sources of phenolic antioxidants, with up to 11x higher antioxidant levels than most other fruits.
Other potent antioxidants that can be found in strawberries include quercetin, kaempferol, uteolin, gallic acid, catechin and a variety of other flavonoids, flavonols and polyphenols. As a potent source of antioxidants, strawberries can help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals and support your overall health and well-being.
