Cherries are in season now and they are a favorite for many of us.

There are two kinds of cherries–tart and sweet, and most of us simply enjoy eating both of them. But have you ever wondered about health effects this amazing fruit has?

The cherry is sometimes called a “super fruit” for its health benefits.

Cherries contain many nutritional vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals such as:

• Anthocyanins
• Melatonin
• Vitamin C
• Bioflavonoids
• Ellagic acid
• Perillyl
• Vitamin A

No wonder why they’re very beneficial for health. Cherries help to prevent cardiovascular problems such as heart strokes and heart attacks. They contribute to cancer prevention, relieve headaches, back pain and muscle pain and also help in weight loss.

If you’re suffering from gout, black cherry juice is recommended as it effectively fights the symptoms of this disease. Cherry juice decreases the amount of uric acid which causes gout.

Cherry juice is known to reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels in the body, and by reducing cholesterol levels, you also prevent heart problems.

Black cherries are believed to help with sleep disorder and also they reduce aging effects. Tart cherries also help you to have peaceful, uninterrupted sleep and are good at relieving muscle pain and back pain.

Cherries contain antioxidants which means they help to reduce cell damage. As cherry is low in fruit calories and high in water content–they boost energy.

The nutritional vitamins in cherries help with improper immune functions, high blood pressure and other health problems.

Combine pleasure and health and enjoy both the taste and the health benefits of this fruit.
