Not only are strawberries delicious, they are also good for us.
Registered Dietitian and Food Network.com nutrition expert Toby Amidor puts strawberries on her list of top 25 foods for boosting immunity.
She says a serving of eight strawberries contains 140 per cent of the Daily Value of Vitamin C along with other antioxidants that help fight free radicals that can harm the body’s cells.
According to Amidor, eating strawberries every day can also reduce risk factors for diabetes and strawberries are included in the MIND Diet, an eating plan that could lower the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease by more than one-third.
