Strawberry Nutrition Research Reveals Substantial Health BenefitsIf you didn't already love strawberries for their delicious taste, you would start eating them for their nutrition and health benefits. Strawberries have higher levels of vitamin c, fiber, folate and potassium than most other fruits like bananas, apples and even oranges. Apart from the obvious health benefits, a recent study by Dr. Gene Spiller, Nutrition and Health Research Center, has shown that eating one serving (about 8-10 strawberries) a day can significantly decrease blood pressure, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Other studies showed additional benefits: Strawberries are found to reduce risk of cancer, enhance memory function and rheumatoid arthritis.
**************** Scroll down if you aren't interested in nutritional supplements. Most people won't be able to get enough minerals and vitamins just by eating strawberries alone :-) If you are like me, then you are always in a hurry, eat at the company's casino and don't have time to go shopping during the week. This kind of lifestyle will most likely end up in a nutrient deficiency. And even if you have the healthiest and most balanced diet, you might not get enough nutrients. This is due to modern farming methods, which have seriously eroded the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables over the last decades. Therefore it is vital for you (except if you grow your own fruits and vegetables) to take a quality vitamin supplement. If you ever think about taking nutritional supplements, make sure you take only the very best one (there's hundreds to choose from). ****************** Strawberry Nutrition InformationAll nutrition information is based on 1 cup (8 to 10) fresh strawberries
