What Are The Health Benefits Of Strawberries?

Are strawberries good for you? The antioxidants and polyphenols in the strawberry fruit benefit heart health and prevent various forms of cancer. And so does the vitamin C these berries contain, which also contributes to skin and hair health. The fiber in the strawberry benefits digestion and helps in weight loss.

1. May Protect The Heart

One of the benefits of eating strawberries is improved heart health. The abundance of antioxidants and polyphenols in strawberries makes them the ideal food to protect your heart from ailments. Strawberries contain anthocyanins (the antioxidants responsible for their red hue), which protect the lining of the circulatory system, thereby shielding the arteries from plaque build-up and regulating the blood pressure (1).

According to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City, women who consumed three or more servings of berries (especially strawberries) every week had reduced their risk of heart attack by a third.

2. May Regulate Blood Sugar Levels

Strawberries also contain ellagic acid, and this, along with the antioxidants, helps in slowing down the digestion of starchy foods. This controls the rise in blood sugar levels post a starchy meal. The benefits of strawberry include helping individuals with type-2 diabetes keep their blood sugar levels in check (2).

Strawberries also have a low glycemic index (40), which means they are unlikely to cause sharp sugar spikes when eaten by diabetics.

The fiber in strawberries can also help regulate blood sugar levels.

3. May Help Fight Cancer

Strawberries are exceptionally good sources of vitamin C and fiber, both of which have been found to protect from cancers of the esophagus and colon. The anticancer properties of strawberries, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, can be attributed to the presence of ellagic acid – a phytochemical that can prevent cancers of the skin, lung, bladder, and breast (3).

Ellagic acid acts as an anticancer agent in several ways – it acts as an antioxidant, slows down the production of cancer cells, and helps the body destroy certain types of carcinogens.

4. May Boost Immunity

Strawberries are excellent sources of vitamin C. In fact, a single serving of strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange. Vitamin C has been found to trigger immune-boosting antibodies, which ultimately enhance your body’s ability to fight infections (4).

In one study conducted in Switzerland, it had been found that supplementation of vitamin C had improved the various components of the immune system (5).

According to research conducted by South African doctors, supplementation of vitamin C increased the concentration of immunoglobulin, which is an antibody and a key component of the immune system (6). Strawberries are also known to fight allergies and asthma.

5. May Regulate Blood Pressure

As already mentioned, strawberries contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that relax the lining of the blood vessels and open them up, thereby lowering blood pressure (1).

Strawberries are also rich in potassium, a nutrient that helps control blood pressure (7).

6. May Improve Brain Health

The credit goes to the antioxidants, again. Strawberries, with their high content of antioxidants, protect the brain cells from damage due to free radicals. They also change the way the neurons in the brain communicate with each other (8). This ultimately leads to improved brain health.

A study conducted by Harvard researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital has revealed that the intake of strawberries can delay memory decline in older women over time (9). This benefit can be attributed to the presence of flavonoids in strawberries. Also, it was found that an increased intake of anthocyanidins helped in slowing down memory decline.

According to the studies conducted by researchers from Tufts University and the University of Maryland Baltimore County, a majority of brain diseases (including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) are caused due to an increase in the amount of a particular toxic protein. But the consumption of strawberries has been found to promote the brain’s natural housekeeping mechanism (also called autophagy), thereby reducing the accumulation of this protein (10).

7. May Fight Inflammation

Strawberries contain quercetin, and according to a study conducted by the University of Massachusetts, intake of quercetin, along with regular exercise, can reduce atherosclerotic plaque formationi  XThe formation of fatty substances on and in the walls of the arteries that causes them to harden and curb blood flow. (11).

Strawberries are also rich in vitamin C, which plays a major role in preventing inflammation (12). This vitamin also plays a role in easing the symptoms of arthritis and gouti  XA type of arthritis that causes severe pain, inflammation, and swelling in more than one joint, mainly around the big toes of the feet. .

It has been found that high levels of C-reactive protein (or CRP) can signal increasing levels of inflammation in the body. According to researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, women who consumed 16 or more strawberries every week were 14 percent less likely to have elevated levels of this protein (13).

8. May Fight Cholesterol

Strawberries are known to contain pectin, which is a type of soluble fiber that lowers the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body (14).

According to a New Orleans study, several types of soluble fiber, including pectin, have shown to lower the levels of LDL (15).

As per an analysis carried out together by Italian and Spanish scientists, the consumption of 500 grams of strawberries regularly for a month saw a decrease in the LDL levels (16).

Another Canadian study showed the efficacy of strawberries in reducing oxidative damage and bad cholesterol (17).

9. May Improve Vision Health

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants that were found to prevent cataract, macular degenerationi  XAge-related breakdown of the macula, a part of the retina in our eye that assists in having a clear central vision. , and other eye diseases (18).

10. May Aid Weight Loss

The ellagic acid and antioxidants are what play a major role in making strawberries ideal for weight management (19).

Chronic inflammation is one of the causes of weight gain since it blocks the hormones that make you lean. Strawberry, being an amazing anti-inflammatory food, restores the functionalities of weight-reducing hormones (20).

In addition, anthocyanins, the master antioxidants, increase the body’s production of a hormone called adiponectin (21). This hormone promotes metabolism and suppresses your appetite. It might also induce fat burn.

11. May Support Healthy Pregnancy

Strawberries are a rich source of folate (22). You get about 40 micrograms of folate from one cup of raw strawberries. This is about 10% of the recommended daily intake. According to research, folate is important during pregnancy as it can prevent neural tube defects. It is also important for the mother’s health (23).

12. May Keep Teeth Healthy

Strawberries contain malic acid, which acts as an astringenti  XAny lotion or substance is known to help tighten the skin and reduce oiliness. and removes tooth discoloration. This means you can use this fruit to whiten your teeth. You simply can crush the strawberry to a pulp and mix with baking soda until you obtain a smooth blend (24). Using a soft toothbrush, spread the mixture on your teeth. Leave it on for 5 minutes, brush thoroughly with toothpaste, and rinse.

However, don’t overdo it as the acid in the fruit might damage your enamel.

13. May Have Anti-Aging Properties

The powerful antioxidants need to be given credit, again! A few strawberry benefits for the skin include protection from oxidative damage and stalling the signs of aging (wrinkles, sagging skin, fine lines, etc.) (25).

They are also great sources of lycopene, an antioxidant that plays a prominent role in staving off the signs of aging. The anthocyanins present in strawberries protect the skin from oxidative stress, thereby slowing down aging (26).

14. May Improve Skin Health

Berries usually contain alpha-hydroxy acid, which is an important substance that helps eliminate dead skin cells and cleanses the skin in the process (27).

According to a study conducted by Hahnemann University School of Medicine, Pennsylvania, treatments with alpha-hydroxy acids have been found to reverse signs of aging (28).

The strawberry fruit also contains salicylic acid and ellagic acid, which are known for reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots (29). Salicylic acid is also known for removing dead cells from the skin and tightening the skin pores to prevent further acne breakouts (30).

Strawberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C, which can cleanse the skin and keep it healthy. The berries have other skin benefits too – they improve your complexion, tone and soothe irritated skin, and offer protection from UV radiation.

You can simply mix strawberry paste with some honey and apply it to your face every morning. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and wash with cold water. You can replace honey with rose water as well. Or even add milk to the recipe. All these ingredients work wonders in improving skin health.

15. May Prevent Hair Fall

As already discussed, strawberries are great sources of vitamin C – a nutrient that encourages iron absorption and promotes hair growth. It has also been found that a deficiency of this nutrient can lead to split ends (31). The vitamin can also treat dandruff.

It is also believed that the silica in strawberries may slow down baldness and boost hair growth. However, there is no scientific evidence to back this claim.

You can prepare a strawberry hair mask that can help you deal with your hair problems. Mix strawberry paste (2 berries) with extra virgin coconut oil and honey (1 tablespoon each). Apply to your scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes, post which you can wash your hair with cold water. This must be done on a clean scalp, usually in the mornings after your bath. This mask also prevents scalp fungal growth – the magnesium in the berries takes care of this problem.

16. May Have Benefits For Men

The antioxidants in strawberries benefit your heart and arteries – both of which enhance circulation, which is crucial for healthy sex life. The vitamin C in the berries also results in higher sperm count in men (32).
