Health benefits of strawberries

The arteries can become narrowed, and so blood is not passed through them to the heart as easily. This reduced blood flow to the heart can cause a variety of problems, including heart attack. Platelets are important to help blood clot after a cut or injury, but they are also a major component in blood clots which can break off and cause heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism.
The mechanism by which strawberries create this change is still unknown, but the researchers of the above study suggest that it might be because they contain anthocyanins, the pigment which gives them their red colour.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease which causes an inflammation of the joints, and is a degenerative disease which affects the whole body. Women are more likely than men to contract the disease, and there is little help available to those who suffer from it.
Strawberries and other berries have been thought to be helpful at reducing inflammation, and consequently the pain that goes alongside it. Again, this is due to the anthocyanins which give strawberries their red colouring.
Inflammation is reduced because strawberries can help to lower blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is produced by the liver and is part of the bodies’ response to inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with very high levels of CRP, particularly during arthritic flare-ups.
