Strawberry has a spicy, inviting aroma, a sweetish-sour taste, but it's not its only virtues. It also brings tremendous benefits to our body due to its chemical composition, which is teeming with all vital substances.

Also in the structure of strawberries are nicotinic, ascorbic and folic acid . And, of course, strawberries are rich in vitamins, namely, B1, B2, B6, E, A.
Separately, I would like to note the excessively high content of vitamin C in strawberries. Several strawberries are equivalent to one orange in its content. When using one serving of strawberries (a small saucer), which is approximately 145 grams, we get 140% of the daily norm of vitamin C. By the content of vitamin C, strawberry is surpassed only by black currant.
The benefits of strawberries in the diet
Strawberries and a diet are two things that are closely related to each other. Strawberries will be an integral part of the fight against extra pounds. Strawberries are a low-calorie product - only 30 kcal per 100 g. At the same time, it has a low glycemic index of 40, which means that strawberries do not in any way help raise blood sugar levels, but on the contrary contribute to its normalization.
Strawberry diets are a great way to get rid of hated kilograms, without harm, and just the opposite - the benefit for our body.
You can choose the most effective option based on the use of only one strawberry (not more than one and a half kilograms per day), a cup of green tea without sugar also does not interfere.
There is also a more gentle option but it is equally effective. Strawberries with this diet of course dominate, but allowed the use of the following products:
- fruit;
- vegetables;
- fat-free yogurt, kefir, milk, cottage cheese;
- low-fat boiled meat, fish;
- greenery;
- olive oil;
- honey.
Having spent only 4 days on a similar diet, the result will not be long in coming. Minus 3-4 kg on the scales you are guaranteed.
But do not forget about a healthy lifestyle , which is not only in proper nutrition, but also in the presence of a mobile, active pastime. Hiking, cycling, rollerblading, attending a sports hall, swimming pool or just homemade workouts will speed up the weight loss process as quickly as possible and help you to find a slim, fit and, above all, healthy body.
