S is for strawberry! Did you know that an average strawberry has 200 seeds on it? Strawberries are fragrant, bright red fruits that are packed with fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and antioxidants. Retrospective, epidemiological studies indicate that strawberry ingestion may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Preliminary research also indicates that strawberries may be useful as an anti-inflammatory food and they also can enhance iron absorption in the body. Eating one cup of strawberries contains more than 149% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C! This important vitamin is a potent antioxidant and studies indicate that higher intakes of vitamin C play a vital role in immune function, may shorten the duration of colds, and are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer! If possible, choose organic! #wellnesswednesday #atoznutrition #rochesterny #irondequoitny #nutritioncareofrochester #registereddietitian #nutrition #eatright #eattherainbow #health #vitamins #strawberries #vitaminc #antioxidants #antiinflammatory #eatorganic #organic
