It's Strawberry time!

Each year there is a celebration in the Carolina's to commemorate the start of Strawberry season.
So I am compelled to share the lovely qualities that the strawberry holds. This anti inflammatory, anti-cancer, and heart protectant fruit is a powerhouse of goodness. These little red gems also have folate, one of the key ingredients that manufacture red blood cells.  
Making a mask of crushed strawberries lends healing properties to the skin that includes tightening pores. The beneficial vitamins and mineral are B2, B5, B6, vitamin K, copper, and magnesium, as well as omega fatty acids.  The fiber in strawberries helps your body absorb nutrients, inhibits the production of cholesterol in your liver, and helps stabilize your blood glucose.
We all know that they are a delicious treat so, eat plenty of strawberries this season and your heart will surely thank you.
