Burdeos likes these berries because they contain a high amount of nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants—for only 12 grams of carbs per one-cup serving.
Strawberries “contain a good amount of magnesium, too, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and is involved in over 600 chemical reactions in the body,” says Burdeos. “Strawberries have been shown to help with blood sugar management, reduce risk for colon cancer, ease arthritis symptoms, and promote wound healing, brain and heart health.”
