Eating strawberries at a dose equivalent to as low as three quarters of a cup may reduce colonic inflammation and improve gut health, a study has found.<\/p>\n
Inflammatory bowel disease is a set of painful conditions that can cause severe diarrhoea and fatigue and the treatment can include medications and surgery.<\/p>\n
The findings suggest that the dietary consumption of whole strawberries, significantly suppressed symptoms like weight loss and bloody diarrhoea in mice with inflammatory bowel disease .<\/p>\n
“The sedentary lifestyle and dietary habits of many people in this country high-sugar, high-animal fat, but low-fibre diets may promote colonic inflammation and increase the risk of IBD,” said lead author Hang Xiao from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the US.<\/p>\n
The study, to be presented at the 256th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society , also found that strawberry treatments diminished inflammatory responses in the mice colonic issue.<\/p>\n
To establish an effective and practical approach to decrease colonic inflammation in both IBD patients and the general population, the team focused on strawberries due to their wide consumption.<\/p>\n
For the study, the researchers used four groups of mice a group of healthy mice consuming a regular diet, and three groups of mice with IBD consuming a regular diet which had 2.5 per cent whole strawberry powder or a diet with five per cent whole strawberry powder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
