Find out which fruit is the favorite of “nutritionists” for those who want to lose weight

Sweet, versatile and visually irresistible, strawberries are much more than just a pretty garnish on a plate. When it comes to healthy weight loss , this little red fruit takes center stage because it has nutritional properties that directly help with weight loss.

With only 32 calories per 100 grams, strawberries are a low-calorie fruit — that is, they have few calories in a large volume of food. In addition, they are rich in soluble fiber, which prolongs the feeling of satiety and helps control spikes in blood sugar, an important factor in avoiding overeating.

Another strong point is the high content of natural antioxidants, such as anthocyanins. These substances have an anti-inflammatory effect and contribute to the proper functioning of the metabolism, which can facilitate the fat burning process.

And the benefits aren’t limited to strawberries. Blueberries , blackberries and raspberries — all from the same family — share similar properties: they are low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamins and bioactive compounds. Incorporating them into your diet can not only help you lose weight, but also strengthen your immune system and improve your cardiovascular health.

Despite their benefits, it is worth remembering that no fruit can work miracles on its own. Ideally, strawberries and red fruits should be consumed as part of a balanced diet and accompanied by healthy habits.
