Want to refresh your diet? Ok, it’s time to eat some cherries!
Jillian Kubala discloses on healthline.com why they are essential:
- They have a low glycemic index (more moderate than other fruits), and this is good for people with diabetes.
- Cherries are abundant in melatonin what helps to sleep better (this is also positive with jet lag). However, the melatonin level is higher in tart cherries than in sweet ones.
- Since they are rich in antioxidants, cherries improve memory. It is a fact that tart cherries contribute to reducing the risk of cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes because they act in glucose metabolism.
- There is an excellent reason to eat cherries – they contain the highest level of antioxidants (more than any other fruit). Antioxidants help against free radicals, for what they slow down the ageing process.
- Potassium, also present here, helps regulate blood pressure while reducing the risk of hypertension. The phytosterols reduce cholesterol, as well. It is evident that cherries have therapeutic value.
- This fruit has an outstanding effect on Gout attacks for what it notably reduces them in a significant proportion.
