Strawberries: the factory of nutrients by mother nature

 Strawberries also scientifically named as Fragaria Ananassa. These are types of berries and a summer fruit. Bright red color, triangular fruit is full of healthy nutrients.

 Either you want to eat it for your glowing skin or you want to take care of your blood hb level, this fruit is just what you need.

Strawberries are high in carbs, water, potassium, fiber and folate which are some of the most essential nutrients for your body. These red little fruits are packet of nutrients for everyday use of our body.

 So come let's see what these elements have for us.

• Water:

Our body consist of 70% water and when summer arrives perspiration level increases which leads to dehydration. As we all know strawberries are summer fruit and they are almost 90% water, so these help to hydrate our body in summers. Strawberries help to maintain our body hydration, and keeps aur skin and organs from drying which in extreme cases can be dangerous for our lives.

• Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the instant source of energy. Strawberries contain carbohydrates so they are a source of energy for our body. Carbohydrates also known as carbs help to provide energy to our brain, kidneys,liver and other important organs of our body. These are easily stored in our body to provide fuel for our daily routine works. Deficiency of these can lead to weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and all those common summer issues which we face while working outdoors. 

So if a considerable amount of strawberries are added to our daily food we can overcome the issues of energy in our body.

• Fiber

It us also a type of carbohydrates but have other benefits besides the benefits of carbohydrates originally. These help in maintaining our digestive system and all the digestive problems are addressed by fibers. 

Fibers are mostly found in fruits and vegetables. So these are also available in strawberries. If we use strawberries as the source of fibers we can address the problems of heart, it is helpful in fight against diabetes, and in some cases cancer is also prevented. 

• Potassium

Strawberries also contain potassium which is an essential mineral for our body. But our body cannot store potassium like carbohydrates so we need a daily intake of potassium for our body. 

It is an electrolyte , it helps in generating impulses around our body. As we all know our senses work on impulses generated from outer source. Deficiency of potassium can effect our nervous system. However it's daily intake can prevent a number of diseases such as blood pressure, nerve impulses, muscle contraction, pH balance etc. 

• Vitamin c

Strawberries are a good source of vitamins for our body. As I have mentioned before our body cannot store minerals, and vitamins are part of minerals. Vitamin c is very essential for our skin as it is good to maintain collagen in our skin. As we grow old the collagen level reduces and we get wrinkles. 

So if you use strawberries which are source of vitamin C can help maintain collagen in our skin. As a result our skin will have lesser wrinkles and will look younger for a longer time. It also prevent cardio issues of our body. So grab on these strawberries so that you look younger than your age and wrinkles free.

• Folate

Also known as vitamin B-9 is very important for our blood cell formation. As I have mentioned before strawberries help maintain our hb level. So this folate is the reason to bring our hb level up. 

For pregnancy it is a very essential to have strawberries because it prevents brain defects and spin defects by birth of fetus.

 Folate is also helpful in cardiovascular diseases and other issues related to the working and maintaining of heart. 

So if you want your heart, nervous system, and skin in perfect condition then strawberries are very useful. Not only these organ diseases but it also helps prevent some types of cancers . Mother nature have blessed us with this fruit so we can bring the beauty from inside out, energy from inside out and not from fabrication.
