Because of its high nutritional value, strawberry is especially suitable for spring health, so it is known as the “first fruit of spring” by nutritionists. What is the most nutritious way to eat strawberries? Let’s find out together. The healthy way to eat delicious strawberries 1, eat strawberries after meals to help digestion and prevent intestinal cancer Chinese medicine believes that strawberries have the effect of dispelling fire, relieving summer heat and clearing heat, spring people’s liver fire is more vigorous, eating strawberries can play a suppressive role. In addition, strawberries are best eaten after meals because they contain a lot of pectin and fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, help digestion, improve constipation, prevent hemorrhoids and intestinal cancer. 2, who should not eat more strawberries Strawberries are good refreshing, appetizing fruit, but cold, do not eat too much at once, especially the spleen and stomach cold, prone to diarrhea, excessive stomach acid people should control the amount. People with cold lung cough (coughing white phlegm) should not eat strawberries. In addition, many people like to cut strawberries into pieces and mix them with yogurt or milk, which is not reasonable from a nutritional point of view. This is because the ingredients in strawberries can affect the absorption of calcium in yogurt and milk, and reduce the absorption rate of milk protein. Strawberries contain more calcium oxalate, and patients with urethral stones caused by calcium oxalate should not eat too much. 3, freeze-dried strawberries can prevent esophageal cancer A research result from Ohio State University shows that eating freeze-dried strawberries can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer. The study focused on squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, as 95 percent of esophageal cancer patients worldwide have this cancer. Over the course of the study, which lasted six months, researchers had 36 volunteers consume 60 grams of freeze-dried strawberries each day and recorded their daily diet. All of these volunteers were considered potential patients with esophageal cancer because they all had precancerous lesions in their esophagus. At the end of the study, 29 of the volunteers showed signs of remission of precancerous esophageal tissue lesions. The researchers explained that strawberries are rich in an antioxidant component that inhibits precancerous lesions in the esophagus. Freeze-dried strawberries increased the effectiveness of their cancer-preventing component by nearly 10 times after the water was removed.
