Health Benefits of Strawberries
Strawberries are one of the healthiest fruits you can eat. They are low in calories and packed with essential vitamins like Vitamins C and K. Vitamin C helps protect your cells from damage and is important for skin health. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting and bone health. Moreover, research has shown that eating more strawberries may help reduce inflammation in the body which could lead to a decrease in diseases such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
