In addition to being tasty and nutritious, strawberries can also boost your energy level. Whether you eat strawberries alone or as part of a more elaborate dessert, strawberries will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Researchers at the University of Michigan developed a fatigue reduction diet to investigate how foods could improve the energy levels of breast cancer survivors. They suggested eating foods with high vitamin C, such as strawberries. As a result of iron deficiency, both physical and mental fatigue can occur, according to Registered Dietitian Danna Raphael (per Hospital for Special Surgery). Besides being rich in vitamin C, strawberries are also highly hydrating, which can help with fatigue caused by dehydration.
Despite the fact that strawberries can help with fatigue, they can also cause allergies (via Healthline). Strawberry allergies can cause swelling in various parts of the body, according to the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology. Because strawberries can cause hives, breathing problems, tingling and itching in the mouth, and headaches, patients with thyroid problems should avoid them, according to the International Journal of Cancer.
