Boston: Experts at the annual meeting on the benefits of berries in the United States have said they have found more evidence that strawberries can improve cardiovascular health.
Burt Burton Freeman, a professor associated with the Illinois Institute of Technology, says that if the portion of fruit in the diet is missing, it can increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. But in this regard, strawberries can fill this gap and play a very important role in keeping the heart energetic. However, it is important to eat a full cup of strawberries every day.
Eating strawberries lowers bad cholesterol, reduces internal inflammation and reduces oxidative stress. Along with this, the blood pressure also remains normal. Experts also found that several clinical markers of cardiovascular health were also improved by eating strawberries.
Another survey found that regular consumption of strawberries prevents type 2 diabetes in adults and can therefore be considered a therapeutic food. On the other hand, eating just eight strawberries a day fulfills the requirement of vitamin C and making it a habit to eat can keep the heart guard alert.
