Cut Your Cancer Risk With Strawberries

What if one of the simplest steps toward cancer prevention was also one of the most delicious?

Strawberries may look like an ordinary fruit, but research suggests they pack extraordinary protective power. These bright red berries are rich in flavonoids — plant compounds known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In a major study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers followed more than 1,000 women over the age of 75 for five years. The results were striking: women who consumed the highest levels of flavonoids experienced 73% fewer cancer deaths than those who consumed the least.

Scientists believe the compounds found in strawberries may help reduce the risk of several types of cancer, including ovarian, bone, esophageal, and colon cancers. Flavonoids appear to help neutralize harmful free radicals and support the body’s natural defense systems.

Strawberries are also easy to enjoy — fresh, frozen, or added to cereal, yogurt, or salads. Because they’re among the first fruits to ripen in spring, they’ve long been considered a seasonal signal of renewal and health.

Sometimes, cancer prevention doesn’t begin in a laboratory or pharmacy — it starts right in your kitchen.
