Several benefits of eating strawberries:
First, fight cancer.
Strawberry is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, which helps to fight breast cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer and gastric cancer. Strawberries also contain anthocyanins and quercetin. These flavonoids can inhibit the activity of colon cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, tongue cancer and liver cancer cells.
Second, protect the heart.
A new study by Harvard School of Public Health found that eating strawberries regularly can help reduce the risk of blood lipids and vascular inflammation. Strawberries also contain heart-healthy folic acid. Many studies have found that people with low folic acid levels in the body have an increased risk of fatal coronary heart disease.
Third, help digestion.
The dietary fiber content of 1 cup strawberry (about 150g) can meet the daily recommended amount of adults 15%. Dietary fiber is beneficial to digestion and improves the health of digestive tract.
Fourth, eye protection.
A study published in Archives of Ophthalmology found that eating 3-5 servings of strawberries every day (80g each) can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration by 36%.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) joint protection
A study published in the journal Annals of Rheumatology found that people who eat a lot of foods rich in vitamin C have a three-fold lower risk of polyarthritis.

Tips for choosing strawberries:
1, look at the color. Strawberry with even and ruddy color tastes good, and different varieties have their own inherent colors, such as bright red for beauty, orange red for fragrance and deep red for book fragrance.
2. Look at the color of sepals and fruit stalks of strawberries. Strawberries with green sepals and fruit stalks have higher freshness.
3. Look at the head. Jiang Guihua, deputy director of the Horticulture Institute of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, pointed out that the bigger the strawberry, the more delicious it is, and the taste of the big strawberry will be lighter. Therefore, strawberries that are bigger than quail eggs and have ruddy colors taste better.
