After eating my lunch I looked out my kitchen window and noticed the vibrant red strawberries in my garden and decided to go grab a handful to top off my lunch. Although they are a bit on the small side, they were still quite yummy. Did you know just how beneficial these little gems are?
* One cup contains 13% of the recommended daily requirement of dietary fiber at only 43 calories.
* They help lower blood pressure.
* Curbs over eating.
* Phenols in strawberries fight against many inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis and asthma.
* Research has shown that 3 or more servings per day can decrease the possibility of contracting age-related macular degneration by over 1/3rd.
* One cup of strawberries contains an incredible 136% of the RDA of Vitamin C.
* One cup contains 21% of manganese, an essential nutrient that acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
So, have I convinced you to add more of these delicious little berries into your diet! :)
