Scientists have recently found that the strawberries are also crucial in activating a protein in our bodies that help reduce blood lipids and cholesterol. Blood lipids and cholesterol are two things that are known to lead to heart problems. The activated protein is called Nrf2 and it is found to increase antioxidant qualities.
These findings were revealed at the recent conference for Society for Free Radical Research in London.
Another study also showed that mature adults who consumed at least two servings of strawberries a week were slower to experience memory decline, which is a key symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
