Strawberries are not only very tasty and sweet, but also very healthy. However, experts warn that it should not be abused. Moreover, not all people will benefit from including strawberries in their diet.
As Doctor Peter writes, only 100 grams of strawberries are enough to satisfy a person’s daily need for ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of collagen, the main protein of beauty, so strawberries help keep the skin supple and prevent the appearance of the first wrinkles. Also, this vitamin promotes the absorption of iron, so the berry helps reduce the risk of anemia. In addition, the vitamin works as an antioxidant and slows down the aging process. What’s more, strawberries contain polyphenols that have anti-cancer effects. Pectins and organic acids in strawberries stimulate the digestive tract and help promote healthy digestion. The product regulates the functioning of the kidneys and the secretion of bile.
Thanks to the fiber in the composition of strawberries, it helps to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood. Anthocyanins, due to which strawberries are red, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and folic acid in berries is good for the brain and stimulates cognitive functions.
Despite all the benefits of strawberries, there are people who should not eat them. For example, allergy sufferers should be especially careful with berries. By the way, scientists have found that people who are allergic to birch pollen can have a cross-reaction to the product. Doctors do not recommend eating strawberries for people with peptic ulcer or gastritis. The fact is that it contains acids, which, upon contact with the mucous membrane, can increase irritation and provoke an exacerbation of the disease. In addition, strawberries can damage tooth enamel and exacerbate tooth decay. However, if you eat it in moderation (150-200 grams per day), then strawberries will only benefit a healthy person.
