UNLV Experts: How Strawberries Can Reduce the Risk of Diabetes

Research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, shows that a simple serving of strawberries each day can boost cardiometabolic health without the need for medication. For more than a decade, registered dietitian and associate professor in the School of Integrated Health Sciences Arpita Basu has been studying how strawberries can help reduce the risks of diabetes and improve overall metabolic and cardiovascular health. Basu is now studying how bioactive compounds in strawberries may contribute to lowering a person’s risk for diabetes. She’s also conducted studies over the years examining the health benefits of tea, berries, and cocoa. We caught up with Basu to learn more about her latest research and how a simple serving of strawberries each day can immensely improve our health.
