If you’re trying to lower your body’s inflammation, which may cause arthritis, heart disease and stroke, eat some strawberries. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that women who ate 16 or more fresh or frozen strawberries per week were 14% less likely than non-strawberry eaters to have elevated levels of C-reactive protein, which is a signal of inflammation in the body. Nature’s candy is better for you than you thought!
