There is an old saying that "an apple a day keeps your doctor away". In Japan it is not only apple but strawberry is known to have positive effect on our body.
Strawberry contains vitamin C, which we all know it is good for skin, anti ageing and helps the body fight against virus. Not only that, strawberry's red color contains Antoshianin, which has positive effect on the function of your eyes, liver and reduces the chance of having high blood pressure. Strawberry also contains Pectin which helps to activate digestion in the stomach.
The good news is it doesn't take much to be a little healthier. 8 strawberries apparently gives you enough daily supplement of vitamin C, 3 strawberries for children.
Caution:
Do not take the green stem prior to washing strawberries, keep it attached. Or it will wash away the vitamin C in the strawberry to some extent. Take the green stem after you wash the strawberry.
