A weapon for women: Strawberries
Add strawberries to your grocery list, ladies, because according to Harvard Medical School researchers, the nutrient-packed fruit may offer extra protection against cardiovascular disease.Seems women who ate two or more servings of strawberries a week were 14 percent less likely to have elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) than those who hadn't eaten the berries in the past month. High levels of CRP can indicate a higher risk of heart attack.

At $2.00-$3.00 per pound, who the heck can AFFORD strawberries? I haven't had fresh strawberries in over 2 years because they cost too much!
