Aid in Weight Loss

Strawberries are incredibly healthy and have a high water content (approximately 91 percent water by weight), which contributes to their low-calorie value. A 1-cup (150-gram) portion of raw strawberries has just 50 calories and 3 grams of nutritional fiber. Strawberries are high in soluble fiber, which absorbs water and develops a gel-like consistency in the digestive tract. According to research, soluble fiber can help manage your appetite by slowing your stomach's emptying pace and increasing fullness feelings.

Furthermore, evidence shows that eating more fruit may be related to a decreased risk of weight gain over time. Although strawberries contain natural sugar, the fiber component slows digestion and absorption into circulation. As a result, the naturally occurring sugars in strawberries are unlikely to have the same blood-sugar consequences as added sugars found in meals such as soda, candy, and desserts.
