This is precisely the berry you want to eat if…
• Biting into a juicy wonderland of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients sounds like a good idea.
• Improving your type 2 diabetes drastically while simultaneously enjoying a tasty fruit appeals to you.
• Having better cognitive function, reducing the possibility of cancer, and living longer and healthier is something you are interested in.
Colorful and sweet strawberries are a favorite treat of summer in most countries. However, they are as healthy as they are delicious, according to various scientific findings.
Cardiovascular benefits of Strawberry
The research shows that antioxidant and anti- inflammatory content in strawberries are simply outstanding.
A study conducted in Iran, which surveyed 66 different fruits, revealed that strawberry has the best source of vitamin C -providing twice as much of this crucial vitamin compared to other fruits (47 mg versus 18 mg in 3.5 ounces).
Strawberries are also loaded with manganese, a key antioxidant mineral.
Most phytonutrients found in strawberries function not just as antioxidants, but also as key anti-inflammatory nutrients.
The phytonutrients important for cardiovascular health found in strawberries include anthocyanins, flavonols, tannins, hydroxy-benzoic acids and hydroxy-cinnamic acids.
The support from oxidative and inflammatory damage is crucial to the heart and to blood vessels.
And, there is no better way to get that support than a handful of fresh strawberries!
Type 2 diabetes benefits
A recent scientific research study uncovered that regular consumption of strawberries lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The interesting study revealed that when table sugar (5 to 6 tablespoons) was consumed with a cup of fresh strawberries, it did not cause a blood sugar spike- compared to when table sugar was taken alone (without strawberries).
Researchers explain that a unique type of polyphenol -ellagitannins found in strawberries are responsible for the regulation of blood sugar response.
The list of strawberry health benefits goes on…
• Anti-cancer benefits
Recent studies suggest that strawberries contain powerful anti-cancer compounds.
The anti-cancer benefits of strawberry have been best documented in cases of cervical, colon and esophageal cancers.
• Anti-aging and improved cognitive benefits.
A study on aging animals revealed significantly improved cognitive function when at least 2 percent of their dietary intake consisted of strawberry extract.
In addition, the lab animals had much better balance and coordination of movements when fed with strawberries.
• Improvement of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease.
• Great benefits in inflammation-related diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and macular degeneration of the eye.
As we mentioned before, strawberries are loaded with vitamin C.
Various studies have proven that this crucial vitamin helps us strengthen our immune system to fight off a litany of diseases.
It is important to know that in order to preserve the maximum content of nutrients in strawberries, they should not be stored in the refrigerator for longer than two days, and in the range of temperature between 36-38* F (2-3* C).
Even though strawberries are a real power food, they might not be able to heal type 2 diabetes or lower blood pressure levels alone…
So here’s how to begin eliminating type 2 diabetes with easy-to-follow steps. Just click here. No hassle. No shenanigans.

I remember someone saying “everything healthy tastes so bad” nothing could be farther from the truth.
Strawberries, blueberries, grapes and other berries are all loaded with anti oxidant. Even better than a apple a day.
I put fresh strawberries into our morning smoothie, together with papaya which is excellent for weight control, contains trae minerals and anti-inflammatory enzymes, these two fruits alone I believe keep hubbie(85) and me(76) healthy and mobile.

Strawberries mess with my blood sugar more than blueberries so I usually avoid them.
Really a good fruit for consumption
If refrigeration beyond two days depletes the nutrients in strawberries, are frozen organic strawberries not a nutritious option for smoothies?
