Blast away those nasty aging effects by incorporating antioxidant-rich foods in your diet like strawberries! Just one cup of strawberries delivers about 150% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin C!
When we eat antioxidant rich foods, including the amazing strawberry (loaded with anthocyanins, flavonols, terpenoids, ellagitannins, and phenolic acids), we help combat these free radicals and reduce the amount of cellular aging occurring in the body. It is also important to note that studies have shown that strawberries and other berries must be eaten at least 3-5 times per week (at least 1 cup a day), in order for their effects to take place (on top of fruit that you already eat regularly).
If that isn’t enough motivation to get blending, I don’t know what is! Enjoy!
