Health Benefits of Strawberries

Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits on the planet and for a good reason. They are great to eat for breakfast, as a snack during the day, and even for dessert. Plus, they provide so many amazing health benefits.

Strawberries are packed with vitamins, minerals, plant compounds, and antioxidants. Just one cup of strawberries, only 50 calories, can provide you with 160% of your daily recommended dose of vitamin C. Strawberries also provide you with fiber, manganese, potassium, and folic acid. Strawberries are great for regulating blood pressure, heart health, preventing cancer, improving eyesight, lowering cholesterol, and reducing inflammation.

Strawberries are mostly made up of water, but also contain protein, carbohydrates, and sugar. You can eat strawberries every day but should limit your intake to about 8-10 strawberries per day. You can incorporate strawberries into almost every meal of the day - add them to cereal, yogurt, granola, or oatmeal for breakfast, blend them into a mid-day smoothie, throw them on top of a salad or as a side with cottage cheese, add them as a topping for any dessert, or just snack on them by themselves.
