Strawberries: Nature’s Defense Against Heart Attacks and Strokes
Recent studies suggest that indulging in a bowl of fresh strawberries could shield your heart from fatty deposits that often lead to heart attacks and strokes. The natural wealth of vitamin C found in these berries has been shown to protect against potentially fatal artery blockages typically caused by high cholesterol. The incredible benefits of strawberries can be observed within an hour of consumption, making them an excellent choice for maintaining cardiovascular health.
The British population annually consumes nearly 200,000 tons of succulent strawberries. For example, attendees of the Wimbledon tennis championships alone consume over 38 tons of these delightful berries throughout the tournament.
Researchers at Setsunan University in Osaka, Japan, conducted a study to determine the time at which strawberries exhibit these health benefits. They provided 23 healthy volunteers, all young women in their early twenties, with either a 500g strawberry puree or a sugary drink.

Half an hour after consumption, blood samples were taken from the participants, with the process repeated every 30 minutes for an additional four hours. The results, published in the Journal of Nutritional Science, revealed that the strawberry group exhibited fewer signs of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) build-up compared to those who consumed the sugary drink.
LDL is the detrimental form of cholesterol responsible for narrowing and blocking blood vessels
