- Only
1 out of 11 people eats the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables
per day.
-
Like “recommended daily intake” or RDI, the Dietary Guidelines
apply to the diet that you consume over several days, not to single
meals or foods.
-
Plant foods like fruits are a great source of fiber which is important
for healthy digestion and can reduce the symptoms of chronic stomach
problems, colon diseases, and may even lower the risk for heart disease
and some cancers.
-
Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and provide many essential
nutrients. They are also excellent sources of folic acid and antioxidants
including vitamins A, C, E, B6 , beta carotene, and selenium. Diets
low in sodium along with a good source of potassium, found in most juices
and fruit, may help reduce the risk for both high blood pressure and
stroke.
Below
is a list of the low carb fruits with under 20 grams per 1 cup serving
(raw). When eaten raw, these provide essential enzymes as well as vitamins
and minerals. |

Strawberry |

The
strawberry you eat is not really a fruit or a berry but is the enlarged
receptacle of the flower.
Strawberries
were cultivated in ancient Rome and were used as a medicinal herb in the
13th Century. They are a member of the rose family and even have a museum
dedicated to them in Belgium.
During the 1700's, a hybrid variety was developed in France by breeding
wild strawberries brought from North America with others from Chile. The
first important American variety, the Hovey, was grown in 1834 in Massachusetts.

and Consumption: |

One
serving of strawberries contains 20% RDA of folic acid. That's more
per comparable serving than any other fruit. Folic acid is a water-soluble
B vitamin which has been proven to reduce birth defects involving brain
and nerve disorders. Strawberries are one of the most delicious and
nutritious fruits. According to FDA regulations, strawberries are a
sodium-free, fat-free food. They are not only cholesterol free but low
in calories as well.
Eight
medium sized strawberries contain:
-
140% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin C, which is
more than one orange.
-
20%
of the daily value for folic acid.
-
Only
50 calories.
-
No
fat grams.
-
Recognized
source of potassium, folacin and dietary fiber. · Approximately
50% of this total dietary fiber is a water soluble pectin.
-
Clinical
studies that soluble fibers help reduce serum cholesterol levels.*
