Cherries

Cherries are very high in iron & disease-fighting flavonoids. They also have potassium, fiber, magnesium, C & E, folate, & heart-protective carotenoids.  Cherries can significantly reduce inflammation, arthritic pain, bad cholesterol, & cancer risk. They contain antioxidants, including anthocyanins & carotenoids, which reduce inflammation & may help prevent several diseases. Another impressive health benefit of cherries is their melatonin content. Melatonin is a hormone that signals your brain when it’s time to sleep. It may help treat insomnia & other sleep disorders. One study concluded that the melatonin content in tart cherry juice enhanced sleep duration & quality.
