Strawberries Health Benefits

We all know strawberries are delicious.

I love eating fresh strawberries, they are juicy, sweet and they offer a wide range of health benefits. 
In my lifestyle, strawberries play an important role. I usually eat them in the morning half an hour before my breakfast. I eat all fruits before my meal. I believe it's healthier to eat them on empty stomach to help detoxify your system. But, that's just me.

Why I love strawberries?

- They are full of antioxidants.

- They help promote anti-aging.

- Strawberries help maintain a healthy appearance.

- Also promote eye health.

- In addition to vitamin C, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin K and manganese.

- Full of vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids.

- They are as well an excellent source of potassium, riboflavin and folic acid (very important in pregnancy).

- Improve immunity.

- Diuretic due to high potassium content (already mentioned above).

- Regular intake of strawberries helps reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

- Lowering your risk of heart attack and stroke.

- Aid in weight loss (how cool is that).

Mummy tips: 

1. Cut strawberry in half, rub it over your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Strawberries thoroughly cleanse your skin and remove excess oil, impurities and lighten any pigmentation. They help to tone your skin and make it more softer and smoother. It really works, I love how my skin feels after. You can use it rasberry as well, just don't get scared when you'll see your face red afterwards, it will go away.

2. Eating fresh strawberries will also help whiten your teeth. Rub it over your teeth (you can also add baking soda and mix it together), leave on for 5 minutes. The acid in the fruit is said to help remove stains. Brush your teeth afterwards.

Add more strawberries to your diet and get all the health benefits.
