The link between fatty liver disease and diabetes is no longer surprising — it's a growing global health concern. But what’s new is the hidden role of strawberries in potentially preventing or even reversing these conditions.
According to a recent study cited by the Times of India, adding strawberries to your daily diet may significantly improve heart and metabolic health. The fruit has been shown to lower bad cholesterol (LDL), reduce inflammation, and improve insulin resistance — key factors in preventing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
What makes strawberries remarkable is that they address the root causes of several chronic diseases, including fatty liver and diabetes, not just their symptoms. Regular consumption is also linked to better blood sugar levels, improved vascular function, and reduced oxidative stress.
Dr. Britt Burton-Freeman from the Illinois Institute of Technology emphasized that just one cup of strawberries per day can yield measurable benefits, particularly for individuals at risk of heart disease. Their high content of heart-healthy phytochemicals supports fat metabolism and lowers systemic inflammation.
She also highlighted that low fruit intake is one of the top three global risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. Closing this "fruit gap" by incorporating strawberries into daily meals could be a simple yet powerful step toward better health.
