Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest... be in health...
3 John 1:2
"Cherries are bursting with antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, nutrients, and fiber. All of which can help support a healthy system and may reduce the risk of certain types of cancers.
Antioxidants
It’s the high anthocyanin content that gives tart cherries that
telltale dark red shade. In fact, the more sour the cherry, the higher the amount of anthocyanins. These powerful antioxidants, a type of phytochemical, help your body’s cells protect themselves from free radicals and are likely the source for the cherry’s other health benefits. Cherries also have two other potent antioxidants: hydroxycinnamic acid and perillyl alcohol.Phytochemicals
This large category of substances protects your body against certain enzymes that can lead to inflammation, which can help reduce arthritis pain.
Vitamin C and potassium
Cherries are a good source of vitamin C and potassium. Potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke, and cherries have more per serving than strawberries or apples.
Dietary fiber
This has been linked to a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, and a
diet high in fiber can also help with weight loss by contributing to a feeling of fullness and reducing the spike of insulin and blood sugar. Seven different cancers are associated with excess body fat, so maintaining a healthy weight is important." Healthline
