Strawberry leaves aren’t quite a health superfood, but they may have several health benefits that make you think twice before de-leafing ’em. We walk through their benefits and ways to use them.
Strawberries are one of the most popular berries. They’re sweet, red, and have been a go-to topping for desserts since long before processed sugar existed.
When eating strawberries, most opt to remove the leaves. Is this an unnecessary waste though? Turns out strawberry plant leaves aren’t merely edible — they’re packed with a bunch of healthy feel-good body benefits.

My attention was drawn recently to an open access paper from earlier in the year that illustrates the magnitude of the difference between aging in early old age versus later old age. The causes of aging are comparatively simple forms of damage and disarray that emerge from the normal operation of metabolism, but because a living being is an immensely complicated system, even simple damage quickly spirals into complex consequences. Simple changes in a complex system produce complex outcomes. Aging greatly changes pace and character in its early stages versus its late stages, as chains of cause and consequence pile up, and damage interacts with damage. It accelerates, and dysfunction grows and changes in nature.

“The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.” ~Pema Chodron
I was recently having dinner with a group of friends, and I casually mentioned that I’ve been making more effort in my life to help prevent climate change.
Across the table, someone looked straight at me and said, “You know human-induced climate change isn’t real, right?”
I was shocked because I’ve known this person for years and we’ve always agreed on important topics in the past. I immediately shot back with, “Umm, yes it is!” and proceeded to tell him exactly why he was so wrong.
I’ll spare you the gory details, but let’s just say the rest of the conversation didn’t go well. It gradually got more a…

Exercise helps to downregulate appetite, among its many other beneficial outcomes. Researchers here point to raised levels of N-lactoyl-phenylalanine as an important part of this connection, one of a family of compounds formed as a result of exercise. In the present environment of prevalent obesity, a sizable amount of research into the biochemistry of exercise is directed towards its effects on consumption of food.
“Regular exercise has been proven to help weight loss, regulate appetite, and improve the metabolic profile, especially for people who are overweight and obese. If we can understand the mechanism by which exercise triggers these benefits, then we are closer to helping many people improve their health. We wanted to understand how exercise works at the molecular level to be able to capture some of its benefits. For example, older or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frailty_syndrome…
