The Benefits of Strawberries

I mentioned the benefits of blueberries a few days ago, but there’s another berry that is as beautiful on the outside as it is for your body… Strawberries!

Were you aware that strawberries are super dense with Vitamin C? The powerful (and necessary) antioxidant Vitamin C is essential for helping build and repair the body’s tissues, boost immunity, and fight excess free radical damage. Studies have also shown that Vitamin C promotes healthy eye function and could potentially help us prevent facial wrinkles.

At 49 calories per serving, there is no reason you can’t reap the benefits of frolicking in the strawberry patch and eating your berries, too! (Unless, of course, if you’re allergic!)

Go about the rest of your day knowing that your 8-ounce serving of these beautiful berries also packs more than a quarter of the suggested daily value of manganese, as well as a respectable amount of dietary fiber (3 grams, to be exact).
