Cardiovascular health
There are many cardio-protective nutrients in strawberries, including vitamin C, folate, fiber, potassium and flavonoids such as ellagic acid, quercetin and kaemperfol, an antioxidant. Eating strawberries not only increases blood levels of these nutrients but also lowers markers of cardiovascular disease, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Studies have shown strawberries can help lower the risk of heart disease in children and heart attacks in young and middle-aged women.
