Happy Friday Asteeza Insiders !!
We are in the midst of strawberry season! Yes, everyone knows that these small red delicious bite size fruits are good for you BUT did you realize all of its powers??
The colorful pigments of strawberries are known to have antioxidant activity. Strawberries lower blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a signal of inflammation in the body. Antioxidants and phytochemicals found in strawberries may also help to reduce inflammation of the joints, which can cause arthritis YES!!! Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studying the value of strawberries found that women who ate 16 or more strawberries per week were 14 percent less likely than non-strawberry eaters to have elevated levels of the protein. I love that natural relief can be delicious ! Make them organic and that’s even better Hmmmm,I wonder if Asteeza could be strawberry scented.. . Asteeza chemists? lol 🙂
Hey, and that also gives me an excuse to eat those delectable chocolate covered strawberries that have such an appealing charm. I mean according to an article published by WEIGHT WATCHERS- not kidding, “It’s actually good for your heart and also good for your blood pressure”.SCORE ! Relief is yummy !
Here’s to a strawberry eating weekend! Anyone want to join me ?
Please comment and share your thoughts 🙂
In health, Daniella
