A study at the De La Salle Institute of Medical Sciences (Philippines) has assessed the diuretic effects of ethanol extract from mulberry peel on mice.
The results showed that this extract has the ability to increase urine output, especially at a dose of 1000-1500 mg/kg, equivalent to the effect of the diuretic drug furosemide.
This shows the potential of strawberries in supporting kidney function and regulating water balance in the body.
Strawberries contain a lot of fiber and natural oligosaccharide, which act as prebiotics, helping to nourish beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
Strawberries and langsat extract have the ability to stimulate the development of Bifidobacteria strains, increase the production of lactic acid and acetic acid, thereby improving the intestinal environment and supporting digestion.
Strawberries are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, phenolics and flavonoids, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
These compounds also have anti-inflammatory effects, support liver function and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
How to use strawberries effectively:
Eat fresh: Fresh strawberries can be eaten directly as a nutritious dessert.
Make jam or syrup: Strawberries can be processed into jam or syrup to serve with banh mi or a drink.
Soaked in wine or honey: Scalp soaked in wine or honey not only helps preserve it for a long time but also enhances flavor and nutritional value.
Note, although mulberries have many health benefits, they should be consumed in moderation to avoid unwanted side effects.
People with digestive problems or allergies to berries should consult a doctor before adding strawberries to their daily diet.
