Strawberries: Properties and Benefits

Their consumption, according to several studies, has been associated with a lower risk of developing chronic diseases.

Radicals

Thanks to the presence of antioxidant substances, strawberries help fight the dreaded free radicals. At the same time they slow down the natural aging process of the cells of our organism.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Many of the phytonutrients found in strawberries not only have antioxidant properties but are also excellent anti-inflammatories. Studies have shown that these compounds work synergistically to bring benefits to the cardiovascular system.

Their activity reduces the oxidation of fats in cell membranes. It also decreases the percentage of bad LDL cholesterol in the blood and reduces angiotensin activity.

Angiotensin is a hormone whose hyperactivity causes vasoconstriction. This means an increase in blood pressure with all the risks that come with it.

There are many scientific studies that show that regular consumption of berries, including strawberries, is linked to a lower risk of heart-related deaths. 

Scientific research has also confirmed many of the therapeutic properties of these fruits. Their intake can improve the amount of antioxidants present in the blood, decrease oxidative stress, block inflammation and reduce cholesterol oxidation. 

They Are Good for Memory

They perform a regenerating action against blood cells. This property is due to folic acid that also benefits memory by acting on the brain through spinal fluid.

Pregnancy

Strawberries are a good source of folate, which is very important during pregnancy. Studies confirm that taking the right amount of folate before and during pregnancy helps prevent certain birth defects. For example, folate prevents spina bifida, neural tube defects and even anemia.

Purifying Properties

They are refreshing, remineralizing, diuretic and above all  have detoxifying and purifying properties. They are especially effective if you eat on an empty stomach.

They are a good source of citric acid, a component with proven disinfectant and antiseptic properties. This compound is able to prevent urinary tract infections. Citric acid is also useful for the prevention of intestinal infections responsible for diarrhea, flatulence and intestinal disorders.

Improve Mood

Not to be overlooked, apparently, the benefits that strawberries would have on improving mood. Thanks to their property to stimulate the production of serotonin and melanin in our body.

Diabetes

Unlike many other fruits, strawberries can be taken by diabetics. The sugar contained in them is fructose which in its natural state is well tolerated. Recent studies have also shown that regular consumption of strawberries is associated with a decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Skin Benefits

They contain a good percentage of vitamin C which, in addition to having antioxidant properties, stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is a substance that can improve the elasticity of the skin and thus counteract the onset of wrinkles.

Hair and Nails

The protective capacity of strawberries does not only affect the skin but also extends to hair and nails. The good copper content not only helps to keep the hair healthy but also serves to prevent, as far as possible, baldness.

The good content of manganese delays the gray color of the hair. The consumption of strawberries also keeps your nails healthy, improving their strength and thus avoiding breakage due to excessive fragility.

They help Digestion

Strawberries are rich in fiber that helps the body in the digestive process.

Immune system

Vitamin C plays an important role in the immune system. Among its activities there is also that of stimulating the production of white blood cells. These represent the body's first line of defense against toxins and attacks by pathogens. This is the reason to consume a few more strawberries during the season in which these fruits ripen.

Blood pressure

They have a good content of potassium and magnesium, 2 compounds both useful for reducing blood pressure caused by salt. Potassium is a vasodilator, thus reducing hypertension and stiffness of arteries and blood vessels.

Benefits to the Brain

Studies suggest that regular consumption of these fruits and berries in general could slow down brain aging. All of these fruits are known for their good content of flavonoids that are known for their beneficial effects on cognitive function.
