Sweet and Succulent: 4 Surprising Health Benefits of Strawberries

The strawberry: aka nature’s candy! These ruby-red fruits are the ultimate modern and trendy superfood. Bursting with flavor, strawberries offer a range of benefits that will leave you craving more. So let’s get into it. 

More than just a pretty face on your plate, strawberries are packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant color. These antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals in your body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting youthful, radiant skin. Incorporating strawberries into your diet can contribute to a vibrant and glowing complexion, making you feel as young as ever.

Don't be fooled by their small size; just a single cup of strawberries provides you with a significant amount of vitamin C, manganese, folate, and potassium. Vitamin C supports your immune system and promotes collagen synthesis, aiding in skin elasticity. Manganese plays a crucial role in bone health and metabolism regulation, folate supports red blood cell production, and potassium helps maintain a healthy heart [they really are the full package!] By incorporating strawberries into your daily diet, you will easily meet your body's nutritional needs.

With our modern lifestyles, consumers tend to prioritize convenience. However, heavily processed & refined foods often lead to digestive issues. Strawberries are rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a healthy gut. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements and prevents constipation (hello, happy ). 

Strawberries are heart-friendly berries that can help keep your cardiovascular system in tip top shape. High levels of polyphenols in strawberries have been associated with improved heart health by reducing inflammation, improving blood vessel function, and maintaining healthy blood pressure. So, let strawberries be your heart's best friend!

With their vibrant flavor, antioxidant power, essential nutrients, digestive support, and hydration benefits, strawberries are the perfect addition to your lifestyle.

Since strawberries have a limited growing season, we freeze our strawberries so we can reap the benefits all year long.

What’s even better? You can find REAL strawberries in every bite of our Strawberry Shortcake VITALITY bar.
