Dried Strawberry

May Improve Heart Function – Strawberries have high levels of heart-healthy antioxidants such as ellagic acid and flavonoids like anthocyanin, catechin, quercetin, and kaempferol. These phenolic compounds help lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting the formation of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol.

A) Stroke Risk – The anti-inflammatory power of the antioxidants in strawberries helps reduce the formation of blood clots that are linked with stroke

B) Boost Brain Function-Strawberries are rich in iodine, vitamin C, and phytochemicals, which help maintain the proper functioning of the nervous system. Potassium, also in strawberries, has been linked to an improved cognitive function by increasing blood flow to the brain.

C) Reduce High Blood Pressure -Strawberries are rich in potassium and magnesium and low in sodium. Potassium and magnesium act as vasodilators, meaning that they help reduce hypertension and the rigidity of arteries and blood vessels. This eases the flow of blood to various parts of the body and keeps them functioning at their full potential.

D) Weight Loss – Strawberries boost the production of the adiponectin and leptin, both of which are fat-burning hormones. They help reduce appetite, decrease blood sugar, and reduce body weight and fat, all of which promote weight loss. Also, strawberry lemonade, strawberry sparkling water, are natural ways of flavouring water and increasing liquid intake, which also helps in shedding pounds.
