Here’s the fun part. Research suggests that eating one cup of strawberries (roughly 12 to 15 berries) daily is the true “Goldilocks” dose. Why? Because that’s the amount that gives you a massive hit of vitamin C (more than an orange, nerds), manganese (for your bones), and anthocyanins (the stuff that makes them red and keeps your brain from turning into a puddle of regret).
At this level, you’re basically a walking antioxidant factory. You’ll start flexing in mirrors. You’ll make eye contact with squirrels. Fourteen berries a day can lower your “bad” cholesterol. Fifteen might make you slightly more charming at parties. This is the sweet spot, people. Don’t mess with calculus.
