Benefits of Eating Cherries


Antioxidants

Cherries are full of antioxidants. These antioxidants have a number of different benefits, including the ability to prevent cancer and heart disease, as well as fighting off free radicals. 

Weight Loss

A cherry is made up of more than 75 percent water. This water content makes cherries a perfect weight loss food as foods that are high in water and low in calories keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time than foods and drinks that are higher in calories.

Pain Relief and Bone Health

Cherries contain substances known as anthocyanins -- purple and blue pigments that give the cherries their color. These compounds reduce pain related to inflammation, according to the NYU Langone Medical Center. Cherries are also used to relieve the pain associated with arthritis and gout, though the extent to which they relieve pain needs further investigation. Cherries also contain boron, which helps increase bone health when consumed in conjunction with magnesium and calcium.

  1. People who want to lose weight should consume lots of cherries. These are very delicious and health benefits of these cherries are many. I personally suggest Goji Berry Juice which I drink every day. I am very active and healthy, thanks to goji berry juice which is 100% pure and natural.
