Passing by cherries at the grocery store or social gathering lately? Evidence is mounting that cherries have far reaching health benefits. Loaded with antioxidants such as anthocyanins and the ability to help produce the hormone melatonin, cherries are helping to reduce joint pain, improve sleep habits, and lower cholesterol. Research is showing a powerful anti-inflammatory effect in the body helping with joint pain of all kinds. Increased production of melatonin is helping improve sleeping patterns. Lowering cholesterol will allow long term prevention of vascular problems such as clogged arteries to reducing the risk of pre-diabetes.

Remember, cherries can be enjoyed just as they are, in dried form, or as a juice. Try to incorporate this fantastic fruit into your daily diet. Your body will thank you for it.
