Eating strawberries every day is very good for people 50 years of age and older.

The study was conducted by scientists from the University of Cincinnati (USA), including 5 men and 25 women, aged 50 to 65, participating.

Participants were divided into two groups: One group ate dried strawberry powder. The second control group ate a powder similar to strawberry powder.

Strawberries are very beneficial for people aged 50 and over.

The daily serving comes in packets, each containing 13 grams of strawberry powder, which is equivalent to about 1 cup or 8 fresh strawberries.

Experts observed both groups for 12 weeks, monitoring their long-term memory, mood, and metabolic health.

Results found that those in the strawberry powder group performed better on a word list learning test and had significantly reduced symptoms of depression, according to the Express .

Researchers hope their findings could help prevent dementia, for which there is currently no cure.

Professor Robert Krikorian, of the Academic Medical Center, University of Cincinnati (Ohio, USA), said: Memory loss is a general term that includes many different diseases, all of which have no cure.

While waiting for an effective treatment for this age-related disease, prevention and mitigation through diet and lifestyle is currently the best approach, according to Express.

Professor Krikorian added: The reason strawberries have this amazing ability is probably due to the anti-inflammatory effects of anthocyanins in strawberries.

Furthermore, inflammation may contribute to metabolic disorders such as obesity, prediabetes, and diabetes.

Strawberries are important to maintaining a healthy diet because just one serving provides 100% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. They also contain heart-healthy nutrients like folate, potassium, fiber, phytosterols, and polyphenols.
