It's strawberry season - a sweet, aromatic and, most importantly, healthy berry.
In addition, this gift of the earth is low in calories, so it is also ideal for people following different diets.
And since strawberries also have properties that stimulate a decrease in blood sugar levels, they are recommended for use in preventing the development of type 2 diabetes.
Vitamin Carnival
What can we say about the abundance of various vitamins, microelements, amino acids, and other substances that are very useful for the body in the berry.
In particular, strawberries contain vitamins B, C, A, E and P, iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, copper and other minerals necessary for our body.
Nutritionists say: regular consumption of strawberries has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, digestive organs, and hematopoietic system.
In addition, this approach to nutrition improves the functioning of the nervous system, as well as brain activity.
However, the question arises: what time of day is best to eat strawberries so that they provide maximum benefit?
First half of the day
According to nutritionists, the best time to consume strawberries is the first half of the day.
During the period called “breakfast”, the berry is especially good: it is easily digestible and maximally saturates us with vitamins.
But! Due to the large amount of acid in strawberry pulp, you should not eat strawberries on an empty stomach - it can irritate the stomach.
And if you have problems with the digestive system, it is better to use berries as a dessert after meals.
Dinner
And in the afternoon? Can it be eaten, say, closer to evening? Yes, it can.
Nutritionists note that strawberries have few calories, but they have a low glycemic index.
Therefore, there will be no harm even if you eat berries for dinner.
