Improve Heart Function

Strawberries may be high in heart-healthy antioxidants including ellagic acid as well as flavonoids like anthocyanin, catechin, quercetin, and kaempferol. According to one study, these phenolic chemicals reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by preventing the development of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol. Another Harvard Medical School study discovered that young and middle-aged women who ate three or more half-cup portions of strawberries or blueberries per week were 34% less likely to suffer a heart attack.

The berries' potentially high quantities of anthocyanins relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular issues. Strawberries' high fiber content, vitamin C, and folate content make them a perfect heart health triumvirate. They have the ability to lower cholesterol levels in the arteries and vessels.
