When it comes to strawberries, my family is all in; both our daughters know when the organic store downtown gets their shipment (Tuesdays) which explains precisely why my wife and I expend less energy on strawberry shopping than any other produce thanks to our girls! 

While these prized berries don’t last very long in our fridge with the kids competing for first dibs (whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks), I sometimes get my hands on a few if I’m attentive…and when it comes to health, I pay lots of attention and recently learned about some of the health benefits associated with eating strawberries that I’ll share with you here. 

  • Strawberries are low in calories
  • Strawberries support heart health
  • Strawberries help manage blood pressure
  • Strawberries regulate blood sugar
  • Strawberries may be helpful for those with type-2 diabetes
  • Strawberries may be cancer protective
  • Strawberries help weight management
  • Strawberries support brain function
  • Strawberries alleviate joint pain
  • Strawberries support gut health
