Health Risks of Eating Blueberries & Strawberries

The benefits of eating blueberries and strawberries may far outweigh any health risks. Dr. Eric Rimm of Harvard Medical School advises people of all ages to eat more berries for heart health. Some people may have allergic reactions to berries or experience digestive problems, however, if they consume too many. Choose the kinds of strawberries and blueberries you buy carefully, to avoid fruits contaminated with pesticides.

Pesticide Residue

The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit research organization, publishes an annual list of the “dirtiest” produce with the most pesticide residue, according to tests performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. In 2014, strawberries ranked No. 2 for their pesticide content, while blueberries ranked No. 23, making them “cleaner” but still in the top 48. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that pesticides in food can pose serious health risks, possibly causing birth defects, nerve damage and cancer. They may be particularly harmful to children, whose organs and immune systems are still developing. Choose berries certified as organic, which indicates they were grown without the use of pesticides.

Fruit Allergy and Intolerance

A food allergy is an immune system response; in rare cases, it can be life-threatening. If you’re allergic to birch pollen, you may experience itching around the mouth and inflammation when you eat raw strawberries and related fruits, such as apples, pears and cherries, but you’ll be able to tolerate cooked or processed fruits. Strawberries also contain histamines, chemicals that can cause itching, wheezing and hives. Blueberries have a safer track record, with just a single known case of blueberry allergy on record, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. If you eat raw berries and experience any symptoms of allergy, seek medical attention immediately. The histamines in strawberries might also trigger signs of a food intolerance, which results in uncomfortable digestive symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. If your symptoms don’t resolve on their own, talk to your doctor.

Too Much Fiber

Raw berries are packed with fiber – more than most other fruits, according to registered dietitian Sharon Palmer on the Today’s Dietitian website. Fiber aids with digestion and elimination and can help lower your cholesterol. Strawberries contain 3 grams per 1-cup serving, while blueberries supply 4 grams of the 25 to 38 grams of fiber needed daily by women and men. But if you add too much fiber to your diet too quickly, you may experience gas, bloating and cramps. Also, too much fiber may interfere with the absorption of some minerals, such as iron and calcium. Talk to your doctor about your fiber needs and how to reach your daily goal.

The Plus Side

In spite of the few risks posed by these fruits, strawberries and blueberries may be among the healthiest foods to add to your diet. Both are rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins that give them their vibrant colors. Anthocyanins protect against inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and may slow memory loss as you age. They’re also good low-calorie, weight-loss foods because the fiber and water they contain help keep you feeling full. Frozen berries with no sugar added are just as nutritious as fresh, according to dietitian Joy Bauer.

Strawberries A-Z: Nutrition Facts, Health Benefits, Recipes, and More

Q: How many carbs are in strawberries?

A: There are 11 g of carbs in 1 cup of whole strawberries. (4) These are derived from naturally occurring sugars that all fruits have. Such a small serving isn’t likely to be unhealthy for the average person, as carbohydrates are your body’s No. 1 source of energy.

What can be unhealthy, however, is if carbs make up too much of your diet. The Mayo Clinic recommends that 45 to 65 percent of your daily calorie intake be comprised of carbohydrates. (15) Follow your doctor’s recommendations if you’re on a low-carb diet.

Q: Is it bad to eat strawberries every single day?

A: It’s not necessarily bad to eat strawberries every day. But it’s important to know that a healthy diet is one that’s balanced and incorporates variety. This point is especially crucial if you’re trying to replace unhealthy treats with strawberries because you could get tired of them and turn back to junk food. To keep your diet interesting and healthy without falling off track, try incorporating other berries into your diet, too. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries offer similar nutritional benefits while also keeping your meals interesting.

Another consideration is the quantity of strawberries you eat. A 1-cup serving is standard. (4) Eating significantly more than this amount could lead to a stomach ache, diarrhea, and other unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.

Q: What’s the difference between a strawberry allergy and an intolerance?

A: A food intolerance refers to unpleasant symptoms that occur when your body doesn’t respond well to a certain food. When it comes to strawberries, this can occur after eating too many of them.

A strawberry allergy is much different. Food allergies occur when your body attacks a perceived allergen, leading to inflammation and histamine release. The subsequent symptoms can cause skin, neurological, and circulatory issues. In worst-case scenarios, a severe strawberry allergy can lead to anaphylaxis if left untreated. (12,13,14)

People with food allergies must avoid the foods they’re sensitive to in order to avoid adverse reactions. On the flip side, people with a strawberry intolerance can still eat the fruit occasionally and in small amounts. Your doctor can give you advice on how to proceed.

Q: What is a ‘strawberry tongue’?

A: A strawberry tongue refers to the occurrence of small bumps on your tongue that look like strawberry bumps (seeds). This has nothing to do with the actual fruit, though. Strawberry tongue is a sign of a medical condition, such as Kawasaki’s disease. (16)

Q: Should I stick with organic strawberries only?

A: Strawberries are grown either conventionally with pesticides and chemicals, or with organic materials. The organization Environmental Working Group (EWG) placed strawberries as No. 1 on their “Dirty Dozen” list. Of all strawberries tested, the EWG found that 99 percent had at least one pesticide residue. (17)

Your best bet is to eat organic strawberries if you can. These are more affordable when the berries are in season. Freezing strawberries can provide opportunities for future use. Alternatively, it’s better to eat conventionally grown strawberries than no strawberries at all.

Here’s How Much Fruit You Should Eat in a Day

  • Fruits are key to healthy eating, but they can be consumed to excess.
  • Nutritionist Andy Bellatti told INSIDER that juicing may make fruits easier to overconsume.
  • It also decreases their health benefits.
  • Sugar intake from fruits may be a concern for people who deal with health issues related to high blood sugar

Some people argue that there’s no limit to the amount of fruit you can eat daily, and follow a fruitarian diet, subsisting primarily on apples, oranges, and the like. Others, like those who follow the keto diet, tend to restrict the amount of fruit they eat in a day, citing concern about fructose levels. With so many conflicting opinions, it’s difficult to know how much fruit you should be eating every day. 

To learn more about optimal fruit intake, INSIDER spoke with dietitians Andy Bellatti and Jen Bruning (who is also the media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics.)

Obviously, there are many physical — and even psychological — benefits to eating fruit.

Fruit is a rich source of vitamins and nutrients.

First, it’s only fair to consider the many health benefits from eating a variety of fruit. As a rich source of vitamins, minerals, potassium, and fiber, fruits often contain phytochemicals that have antioxidant properties, according to Berkeley Wellness.

Fresh fruit may even improve a person’s psychological health. According to a 2017 study in PLOS ONE, eating fruits (and vegetables) correlated with an increase in psychological well-being in young adults. In fact, these psychological benefits occurred after only two weeks of increased fruit and vegetable consumption. With all of these health benefits, it is not surprising that the American Heart Association recommends at least four servings of fruit each day. 

That said, consuming too much fruit can lead to health problems for some individuals.

Excess fruit can cause nutritional deficiencies and weight gain.

So how can you tell if you’ve overdone it on the peaches? 

Although it may seem like to road to health is paved with goji berries, it’s important to remember that fruit is not the end-all be-all of nutrition. 

To start, eating fruit to the exclusion of other foods can lead to potential nutritional deficiencies. As Bellatti noted, fruit is not a good source of iron or zinc, both of which are crucial components of a healthy diet. Excessive fruit intake can also cause stomach upset in some individuals. In fact, heartburn, diarrhea, reflux, and bloating are all potential side effects of eating too much fruit, according to Bruning.

High blood sugar is another side effect of fruit consumption, and can be potentially dangerous for people with diabetes. “Fruit should not be totally avoided for this reason, it just needs to be kept in reasonable portions and eaten alongside other foods,” Bruning said. For people with potential blood sugar issues, guidance from a nutrition expert can be invaluable.

Additionally, fruits (like any other food) can be eaten to the point of caloric excess and lead to weight gain over time. Fruit, however, is generally not that high in calories when compared to other foods.

“A dozen bananas is roughly 1,200 calories (equivalent to 14 cups of blueberries),” Bellatti said. The idea of eating that many blueberries over the course of one day might make a competitive eater queasy. Still, there are ways to get too many calories from fruit. 

It’s not just how many fruits you eat, but how you eat them.

Avoid juices and smoothies.

pelambung/Pixabay

Although juicing is a popular trend, Bellatti and Bruning agree that it’s not an ideal way to get your daily dose of fruit.

“Not only does fruit juice lack fiber, but many health-promoting antioxidants and phytonutrients are bound to fiber and therefore absent in juice,” Bellatti said. Additionally, fruit juice can contain a lot of sugar to consume in one sitting, as Bruning explained.

Both experts agreed that smoothies were a good alternative to juicing, because blended fruit smoothies retain all parts of the fruit. This includes the the all-important fiber, whichBruning sai is more likely to cause feelings of satiety. 

But don’t let this scare you away from fruit entirely.

Don’t worry — fruit isn’t terrible for you.

Anna Hirschorn/SpoonUniversity

The sugar content in fruit is not a huge concern for most healthy adults. “Just because it contains the S-word doesn’t make it unhealthy,” Bruning said. “Naturally occurring sugars in fruit give us energy and are packaged up neatly with fiber, nutrients, and a good amount of water that can help keep us hydrated.”

Bruning also advised eating a variety of fruit — everything from citrus to berries to banana — because all fruits bring something healthy to the table. Plus, it’s fun to try out a wide variety of fruits, and you never know when you’ll find a new favorite. (Side note: I recently tried fresh cherimoya, and it is mind-meltingly delicious.)

Aim for two cups worth of fruit per day.

Try to limit your fruit intake.

Scott Webb/Pexels

According to Bellatti, two to three servings of fruit per day is a healthy goal for most people. Bruning had similar advice and suggested about two cups’ worth of fruit per day. With this amount, you can benefit from the nutrients found in fruit — particularly the important antioxidants and phytonutrients that are exclusively found in fruits — without over eating. 

At any rate, Bellatti said it’s smart to think about nutrition in more holistic terms anyway: Eating a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, is often the best way to ensure your nutritional needs are met. He also recommends against the fruitarian diet, in which people subsist almost entirely on fruit, noting that there is zero scientific evidence in favor of it. Instead, a varied diet based in a variety of whole foods is the ideal for most people.

Yes, it is possible to overdo it on the fruit, especially if you’re attached to your juicer or blender.  For the most part, however, whole, fresh fruit is a healthful component of any diet, as long as it is enjoyed in some amount of moderation.

Strawberries – 8 health benefits.

Strawberries are among the berries that contain the highest amount of valuable nutrients. It is an excellent source of fiber, low in calories and relatively low in sugar. The most significant health benefits are high in antioxidants. Strawberries contain anti-aging flavonoids, antioxidants – anthocyanins and catechins, which reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases.Research has also shown the beneficial effects of strawberries on eye health, neurological health, and skin health.

1. RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS

Research has shown that strawberries are a source of many antioxidants, including luteolin, gallic acid, flavonoids, quercetin and many others. Strawberries contain 2 vitamins that act as antioxidants in the body – vitamin A (as beta-carotene) and vitamin C (as ascorbic acid). Both act as the body’s first line of defense, reducing cell damage caused by free radicals.Antioxidants donate electrons to free radicals that lack electrons. This means that free radicals do not take missing electrons from nearby healthy cells, causing mutations that contribute to the development of various diseases.

Free radicals are a natural phenomenon in every organism, and they are constantly formed as a result of various biochemical reactions. Their number increases under the influence of environmental pollution, unhealthy diet, ultraviolet rays, cigarette smoke, household chemicals, physical exertion, stress and other adverse factors.The condition when there are too many free radicals in the body is called oxidative stress.

Antioxidants slow down the formation of oxidative stress in the body, which is responsible for the aging process and the development of most diseases, including cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

2. PROTECTS AGAINST CANCER

According to research, strawberries contain substances that can fight cancer. Several compounds in strawberries have been shown to have anti-cancer effects.Research has shown that the benefits of strawberries include the ability to block the formation of cancer cells and inhibit the progression and spread of cancerous tumors.

3. PROTECTS AGAINST HEART DISEASES

The antioxidants in strawberries help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by suppressing the formation of “bad” cholesterol or LDL cholesterol, limiting the formation of plaque in the arteries, better vascular function and pressure, reducing the tendency to develop clots (thrombosis ).In addition, strawberry extracts have been shown to reduce the inflammatory response in the body, which is one of the main causes of heart disease.

Strawberry antioxidants combat the oxidative process that is associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or other coronary heart disease.

4. PROTECTS THE SKIN FROM DAMAGE

As a result of the influence of internal and external factors, the condition and appearance of the skin changes over time. Improper diet, sun exposure and environmental toxins contribute to photoaging, skin inflammation, acne and other skin problems.

Nutrition researchers are discovering more and more relationships between nutrient-rich food intake and skin health. One of the best fruits for skin health is strawberries and other berries. Berries contain antioxidants such as vitamin A and vitamin C that improve skin health, including hydration, oil formation, wrinkle formation, skin discoloration, reduced risk of skin cancer, and skin elasticity.

The high level of vitamin C is an additional benefit that is associated with stimulating collagen synthesis, protecting against UVA and UVB rays, reducing hyperpigmentation and preventing various inflammations and rashes.

5. STIMULATES BRAIN HEALTH AND PREVENTS NEURODEGERATIVE DISEASES

Another benefit of strawberries, according to research, is that a diet rich in strawberries and other berries can protect the brain from aging. Berries are rich in flavonoids, especially anthocyanidins, which improve cognitive properties. For this reason, health professionals advise everyone to include berries in their diet as often as possible, as they fight oxidative stress, memory loss, and diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Strawberries help detoxify or detoxify the body, helping to restore the health of the gastrointestinal tract. It contains fiber and antioxidants – vitamins A and C – which are important elements that stimulate the body to detoxify.Antioxidants are especially needed to neutralize and eliminate toxins that cause free radical damage, inflammation, and indigestion.

Strawberries help keep the digestive system in good health by preventing constipation, balancing intestinal pH and reducing intestinal inflammation.

7. HIGH MANGANESE

Manganese is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and brain health and helps prevent neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.It is a mineral that is essential for bone and connective tissue formation, blood clotting, and the production of sufficient reproductive hormones.

8. FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY

Strawberries are a good source of folic acid. 1 cup of strawberries provides about 9% of your daily value for folate. Folic acid is a type of B vitamin that is essential for tissue growth, proper cell function, and critical for a healthy pregnancy.Consuming or using the right amount of folate before and during pregnancy helps prevent certain birth defects. Folic acid also helps prevent anemia.

SIDE EFFECTS OF STRAWBERRY

Strawberries are good for most of us, but they can pose a risk for people who are allergic to fruits and berries that contain histamine.

Food allergy is a reaction of the autoimmune system that can cause itching, skin inflammation, upset stomach, including diarrhea and vomiting.When the body is unable to process a certain type of food, pollen, or substance, histamines sound the alarm, which triggers the body to react to that substance and produce mild or severe symptoms. If you have any health problems while eating strawberries, you can check if you are allergic to strawberries by taking an allergy test through a blood test.

The second largest health threat is related to the amount of pesticides and chemicals in strawberries, so it is important to choose organically grown strawberries.Most berries are usually treated with chemicals to eliminate pests and rodents, since strawberries grow close to the ground, they are soft and sweet.

Health benefits of strawberries

So, what is strawberry good for? The polyphenols and antioxidants in these berries prevent various forms of cancer and support heart health. They also contain vitamin C, which contributes to healthy hair and skin. The fiber in these berries can help you lose weight and aid in digestion.

1. Helps regulate blood sugar levels

Strawberries contain ellagic acid.It, together with antioxidants, helps to slow down the digestion of starchy foods. This means that it controls the rise in blood sugar levels after eating starchy foods and helps people with type 2 diabetes control their sugar levels.

Strawberries have a low glycemic index, so they are unlikely to cause sugar spikes in diabetics after consumption. And the fiber it contains will additionally help in regulating blood sugar levels.

2.Helps protect the heart

The abundance of polyphenols and antioxidants in these berries helps protect the heart from various diseases. They contain anthocyanins (antioxidants responsible for the red color), which help protect the lining of the circulatory system, regulate blood pressure, and protect arteries from plaque formation.

In one study, women who ate more than three servings of berries each week reduced their risk of heart attack by a third.

3.Helps regulate blood pressure

Anthocyanins and potassium, which are rich in berries, help to lower blood pressure by relaxing the lining of blood vessels and opening them.

4. Helps fight cancer

Strawberries are an ideal source of vitamin C and fiber, both known to protect against colon and esophageal cancer. It is also rich in ellagic acid, a phytochemical that may prevent lung, skin, breast and bladder cancers.

Ellagic acid acts as an anticancer agent by slowing down the production of cancer cells and helping the body destroy certain types of carcinogens.

5. Will increase immunity

This fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C. One serving contains more vitamin C than a whole orange. Research has shown that vitamin C triggers antibodies that increase our body’s ability to fight infections.

In other equally important studies, it was found that vitamin C increases the concentration of immunoglobulin in the body, which is an antibody and a key component of our immune system.

6. May fight inflammation.

Strawberries contain quercetin, and consumption of quercetin along with regular exercise reduces the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Vitamin C richness plays an important role in preventing inflammation and relieving symptoms of arthritis and gout.

According to the researchers, women with high levels of C-reactive protein (which signals an increase in inflammation in the body) who ate more than 16 strawberries each week were less likely to increase their levels of this protein by 14%.

7. Improves brain health

High in antioxidants, protects brain cells from damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants also alter the way neurons in the brain interact. All of this improves brain health.

Eating strawberries may slow memory decline in older women. This can be explained by the presence of flavonoids and anthocyanidins in berries.

Research shows that most brain diseases (including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) are caused by an increase in certain toxic proteins.And eating strawberries reduces the accumulation of this protein and promotes the natural mechanism of the brain.

8. Promotes weight loss

Ellagic acid and antioxidants play an important role in weight loss.

Chronic inflammation can cause weight gain by blocking hormones that help us lose weight. Strawberries, which have anti-inflammatory properties, restore the function of weight-loss hormones.

In addition, anthocyanins help the body increase the production of the hormone adiponectin.This hormone in turn promotes metabolism, fat burning and suppresses appetite.

9. Helps fight cholesterol

Berries contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber that lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the body.

According to the conclusion of scientists, regular consumption of> 500 g of strawberries for one month leads to a decrease in LDL levels.

10. Helps to improve eyesight

Antioxidants contained in berries prevent cataracts, macular degeneration and other diseases.

11. Supports a healthy pregnancy.

Strawberries are a rich source of folic acid. You can get about 40 micrograms of folate from 150g of raw strawberries. Which is 10% of the RDI. Folic acid is important during pregnancy for maternal health and may prevent neural tube defects.

12. Keeps teeth healthy

Berries contain malic acid. It acts as an astringent and removes discoloration of the teeth.This means that this fruit can be used to whiten teeth. Simply chop the strawberries to a mushy state and mix with baking soda until smooth. Apply the mixture to your teeth using a soft toothbrush. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then brush well with toothpaste and rinse your mouth. Don’t overdo it, as the acid in the fruit can damage your enamel.

13. Has anti-aging properties

Again, antioxidants to help! They protect our body from oxidative damage and prevent the signs of aging (fine lines, sagging skin, wrinkles, etc.)etc.). It is the antioxidant lycopene that plays an important role.

The contained alpha hydroxy acid is an important substance that helps to remove dead cells and at the same time cleanses the skin.

Strawberries also contain ellagic acid and salicylic acid, which significantly reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Salicylic acid also removes dead cells and tightens the pores of the skin, which prevents acne breakouts.

Vitamin C cleanses the skin and keeps it healthy.Berries also improve complexion, tone irritated skin and protect skin from UV radiation.

Mix a small amount of honey with strawberry paste and apply it on your face every morning. Leave it on your face for 15 minutes and then wash off with cool water. Rose water can be used instead of honey, and milk can also be added.

14. The benefits of strawberries for men

Antioxidants benefit the heart and arteries, improve circulation and are critical to a healthy sex life for men.And vitamin C, contained in berries, helps to increase sperm count.

15. Reduces hair loss

As mentioned, the berries are rich in vitamin C, which promotes the absorption of iron, hair growth, and can also treat dandruff. Lack of this nutrient can lead to split ends.

It is also believed that silicon can accelerate hair growth and slow hair loss. However, more research is needed.

How to prepare a strawberry hair mask? Mix strawberry paste (2 berries) with extra virgin coconut oil and honey (1 tablespoon each). Apply to a clean scalp and leave for twenty minutes, then wash your hair with cool water. This mask will also prevent the growth of fungi on the scalp.
