Dr. Yang Ziqi
Strawberries are a fruit rich in various nutrients and bioactive substances. Their nutritional value and health benefits include:
Strawberries contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps promote intestinal health, prevent constipation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Every 100 grams of strawberries contains approximately 58.8 milligrams of vitamin C, significantly higher than common fruits such as apples and pears. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that strengthens the immune system, promotes wound healing, and protects cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Strawberries also offer skin-nourishing and beautifying benefits; their antioxidant components can help improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles. Strawberries are rich in beta-carotene, tannic acid, aspartic acid, copper, strawberry amine, pectin, cellulose, folic acid, iron, calcium, and other nutrients, which can enhance the body's immunity and promote digestion.
Regular consumption of strawberries can help lower blood pressure, improve vascular function, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
Excessive consumption of any food may cause side effects, so moderate consumption is recommended.
