Eating a handful of strawberries a day could help millions of people cope with inflammatory bowel disease. A study on mice has discovered eating just a few whole strawberries every day could reduce inflammation in the colon, weight loss, and diarrhoea containing blood.

The test was aimed at helping people with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis. The condition is thought to affect some 3 million Americans, over 300,000 people in the UK and 85,000 Australians.

According to an article on dailymail.co.uk, strawberries restore a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut as well as reducing symptoms in mice with the incurable diseases, the research found. Experts from the University of Massachusetts claim that eating strawberries could help people manage the conditions, which they say are worsened by modern inactive lifestyles and diets high in sugar and fat.
