Super Strawberries
AMSTERDAM - Like a professional Little Red Riding Hood I never go to my grandmother without a basket of berries and wine. But now I know I should forget about berries and bring strawberries instead! The good news comes from research by an American university. Elderly people who eat strawberries at least once a month stay mentally sharper than their friends of the same age. Strawberry Earth is not suprised, but prefers organic strawberries. Less watery and without insecticides!
The American scientists from Tufts University in Medford have taken a good look at the strawberry. They found out that the anti-oxidants in the strawberry protect you against infections and slow down the body’s aging.
From now on I’ll visit grandma with a basket full of strawberries. Perhaps on the way I’ll bump into the Big Bad Wolf a.k.a. my cousin who hates healthy food “nonsense” and demands layers of sugar and cream on whatever he eats. In which case, it won’t be just big eyes that granny will have…
