Vegetables cannot be the only thing that makes up a healthy diet. The doctors and the researches recommends that you take in at least a cup of fruit on a daily basis. Just because they are strawberries covered in chocolate do not underestimate them thinking it just a tasty snack. It is a delicious thing to eat and the nutrients in the strawberry and the chocolate is what you need. Do not have them on a daily basis though. You can have them on a Sunday and on Monday have bananas, on Tuesday have oranges and so on. The strawberries are a good source of Vitamin-C and each serving should have three strawberries dipped in chocolate and that should make about 43% of the daily intake of Vitamin C. There are many reasons why your body requires this Vitamin. First of all, it repairs all the tissues in every part of our body and produce collagen. Collagen is a protein that makes skin, tendons, blood vessels so therefore you can understand that it is used to heal cuts. You need it to take care of your teeth, gums and bones. You may get bleeding gums, flaking skin, bleeding nose, pain the bones and joints and scurvy if you avoid Vitamin C. The fact is that it cannot be stored in the body so you need it every day. Since you cannot have the strawberries dipped in chocolate every day, you can simply have the berries.
