She Loves Oats
Aust is seen eating oats in her Instagram post. Harvard Health states that oats are very beneficial. “Oats contain several components that have been proposed to exert health benefits. The primary type of soluble fiber in oats is beta-glucan, which has been researched to help slow digestion, increase satiety, and suppress appetite. Beta-glucan can bind with cholesterol-rich bile acids in the intestine and transport them through the digestive tract and eventually out of the body. Whole oats also contain plant chemicals called phenolic compounds and phytoestrogens that act as antioxidants to reduce the damaging effects of chronic inflammation that is associated with various diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.”
She Loves Sweet Potato

Reid Health states, “High vitamin A content is another one of the numerous benefits of sweet potatoes. Vitamin A is crucial for healthy teeth skin mucus membranes skeletal tissue and vision. As SFGate notes, getting too little vitamin A in your diet puts you at risk for vision problems especially in dim light. One large sweet potato provides about 1730 micrograms of vitamin A. The recommended dietary allowance of vitamin A is 700 micrograms per day for women and 900 micrograms per day for men.”
She Loves Carrots

The Mayo Clinic states that carrots have a lot of benefits. “Carrots contain a compound called beta-carotene that’s converted to vitamin A in your body. Vitamin A promotes eye health, and it also reduces your risk for cancer.”
She Loves Strawberries

Aust is seen enjoying a snack of strawberries in chocolate in her Instagram post. Strawberries have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “For starters, strawberries are loaded with vitamin C. Eight medium strawberries contain 160% of your daily recommended amount — the amount that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends you eat every day. That’s more vitamin C than you get from an orange, the fruit famous for its vitamin C. Strawberries are also packed with antioxidants, which protect cells from damage. The primary antioxidant in strawberries is anthocyanin, which gives the fruit its color. The amount of anthocyanin in strawberries increases as the fruit ripens. So, the redder the berry, the more antioxidants it contains.”
She Strength Trains
