Strawberries are at their peak of sweetness in this part of the planet right now. Strawberries are sweet and delicious and great for fighting inflammation as well. They are loaded with vitamin C and Manganese. Strawberries also have Iodine, Potassium, Folate and Vitamins B2, B5 & B6 as well as Vitamin K, Omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium and copper.

Strawberries lower blood levels of C-reactive protein in the blood. C-reactive protein signals inflammation and is high in RA and lupus patients when they are experiencing a flare. At the Harvard School of Public Health, researchers found that women who ate 16 or more strawberries per week were 14 percent more likely to have lower levels of this protein than non strawberry eaters.

It is important to note that strawberries are known to be heavily treated with pesticides. When in comes to strawberries it is organic or nothing for me.
