Strawberries, ladies and gentlemen, strawberries. They may be elusive and not always available in the quality we desire, but when they are here, we should take advantage of their presence and start consuming them daily.
Why? Here are some good reasons:
1. Strawberries contain folic acid in a good amount, and many nutritionists recommend consuming it when your body's folic acid levels are low.
2. Strawberries contain a high level of calcium, which is essential for building bones.
3. Strawberries have a very good level of potassium, which helps balance blood pressure and even prevents anemia.
What else is good about this little red fruit?
A study conducted in 2016 found that the effects of compounds called 'flavonoids' found in plant-based foods, including strawberries, communicate a relative feeling of fullness. "If you start consuming three to five strawberries a day, you'll immediately feel much more energetic. Your body will feel like it's 'jumping' and 'skipping' - and it's not for nothing. The latest study examining the relationship between eating strawberries and happiness levels in the body found that daily consumption contributes to alertness and happiness levels," says one of the leading researchers of the study.
According to him, strawberries also contain a high level of vitamin C - "which promotes and encourages the production of dopamine, the hormone responsible for happiness and motivation. One cup of strawberries contains the recommended daily amount for an adult for vitamin C consumption."
