There are a number of reasons why one should love strawberries. Either frozen or fresh, this juicy has a lot to offer when it comes to health benefits.
They are full of fibre. One cup (250 ml) contains a day’s worth of vitamin C and strengthen the immune system.
Eating three or more servings of strawberries can help slash heart attack risk by as much as one-third. A study, published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation, said that the anthocyanins in the berries may help dilate arteries and reduce plaque buildup. Not only this, strawberries also help reduce levels of triglycerides and ‘bad’ cholesterol.
Eating strawberries at least twice a week delayed their cognitive and memory decline by up to two-and-a-half years.
And the best part is that these are very low on calories — one cup has 54 calories!
