Celebrate National Strawberry Month with Dr. Eric Freedman Chiropractic and Nutrition!
Eatontown, NJ – May is National Strawberry Month!
As the weather warms up and the local farms start to flourish, there’s no better time to celebrate the sweet, juicy, and surprisingly powerful strawberry. At Dr. Eric Freedman Chiropractic and Nutrition, we’re always looking for ways to help our patients support their wellness naturally—and strawberries are a perfect place to start.
Why Strawberries Deserve a Spot in Your Diet
Strawberries aren’t just a tasty snack or a colorful addition to your morning smoothie—they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Here’s why we love them and why you should too:
1. Rich in Antioxidants
Strawberries are packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins and ellagic acid, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. These compounds have been linked to reduced inflammation, better heart health, and even cancer prevention.
2. Supports Immune Health
Just one cup of strawberries delivers more than 100% of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin C. This essential vitamin boosts your immune system, supports healthy skin, and promotes wound healing.
3. Great for Heart Health
Strawberries are rich in fiber, potassium, and polyphenols, all of which contribute to cardiovascular wellness. Studies have shown that regularly eating strawberries can help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL cholesterol, and improve overall circulation.
4. Helps Regulate Blood Sugar
Despite their natural sweetness, strawberries have a low glycemic index and are high in fiber, making them a smart choice for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels—especially for those managing insulin sensitivity or type 2 diabetes.
5. Supports Digestive Health
The fiber content in strawberries not only helps regulate blood sugar but also supports a healthy digestive system by promoting regularity and feeding the good bacteria in your gut.
Integrating Strawberries into a Balanced Lifestyle
At our Eatontown, New Jersey practice, Dr. Eric Freedman emphasizes a holistic approach to health, combining chiropractic care with Nutritional Response Testing. Incorporating nutrient-rich, seasonal fruits like strawberries into your diet is a simple yet effective way to support your body’s healing process.

-

-
Toss them into a salad with walnuts and goat cheese
