Not only do they satisfy the sugar craving you might get when you’re stressed (chocolate always makes stress go away!), they also contain magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral which people know little about, but it turns out it plays quite a complex role in stress, something we all know too much about!
When you are stressed, magnesium will be released into the bloodstream, and from there into your urine where you expel it from the body. The more stressed you become, the more magnesium you lose. The clincher is that lower magnesium levels make you more prone to stress, so this can leave you in a vicious negative cycle.
Losing Weight And Burning Excess Fat
Strawberries are great for weight loss for three different reasons:
Firstly, they can increase the body’s production of a hormone (adiponectin) which leads to an increased metabolism and appetite suppression. They do this because, yet again, they are packed full of anthocyanins.
Secondly, they reduce the rate of digestion for starchy foods, meaning the rise in blood sugar after the meal is controlled. You will then find that you have a reduced craving for sugar. This process occurs because strawberries contain polyphenols, micronutrients which block the digestive enzyme activity of certain starches.
Thirdly, they can improve the functioning of hormones which help you to lose weight. This works because strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation, as well as causing the problems mentioned above, can also disrupt hormone functioning.
Eating strawberries will reduce this inflammation, which means the hormones will start functioning correctly again.
