Eating strawberries lowers cholesterol

A new virtue of strawberry has been discovered: this fruit reduces cholesterol.

Scientists from the Universidad Politécnica delle Marche (Italy) with those of Salamanca, Granada, Sevilla (Spain) Universities conducted a study on the impact of daily consumption of strawberries. They asked 23 healthy volunteers to add 500 gr of strawberries in their diet for 1 month. Blood samples were taken before and after the strawberry regime to compare data.

The results reveal that the total amount of cholesterol, levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol) and triglycerides were reduced respectively by -8.78%, -13.72% and -20.80%. All parameters returned to baseline values ??after 15 days of stopping the strawberry regime.
