Health Benefits
Cherries are not only delicious but also packed with a variety of health benefits that make them a great addition to any diet. Here are some of the top health benefits of cherries.
Improved sleep
Cherries contain high amounts of melatonin which is a natural chemical that helps regulate your body’s sleep wake cycle. Studies show that eating cherries can lead to a better nights sleep helping your body to recover and feel well rested.
Great for weight loss
Cherries are relatively low in calories whilst also being high in fibre which helps you feel fuller for longer, plus it helps to improve your gut health!
Fights inflammation and arthritis pain
Studies show that the high levels of antioxidants in cherries can reduce pain and inflammation especially for those who suffer from arthritis.
Helps with workout recovery
Antioxidants in cherries as well as their naturally high levels of potassium can help to speed up muscle recovery, reduce soreness and swelling, as well as prevent strength loss.
Fights oxidative stress
Research shows that the naturally high levels of antioxidants in cherries helps to combat oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in the long term leads to many chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. That’s why it’s important to include foods that contain antioxidants in your diet.
