The 10 benefits of eating cherries

You do not realize the thousands of properties of some fruits like cherries until you tell them about it. Last week we were talking with one of the reference nutritionists for Canal Diabetes and he told us an infinite number of benefits of a fruit as insignificant as cherries. For this reason today we want to collect in the following report all that the health of a patient with diabetes can improve if you introduce cherries into your menu.

1. Cherries, known as a "super fruit", are full of antioxidants called anthocyanins that help in the reduction of heart disease and cancer.
2. Cherries are one of the few dietary sources that contain melatonin, an antioxidant that helps regulate the heart rate and sleep cycles of the body.
3. Cherries are an excellent source of beta-carotene (vitamin A, essential for the body). In fact, they contain 19 times more beta-carotene than blueberries and strawberries.
4. Cherries are rich in vitamins C, E, potassium, magnesium, iron, folic acid and fiber.
5. Cherries are known as "brain food", helping in brain health and in preventing memory loss.
6. Because cherries contain anthocyanins, they can reduce inflammation and the symptoms of arthritis and gout.
7.  Eating cherries reduces the risk of diabetes . Being also suitable for the consumption of patients with diabetes, since they contain no more glucose than fruits like pear. Its glycemic index is 22.
8. Cherries are a good source of fiber that is important for digestive health and also benefit, as we have explained in previous advice, the onset of diabetes.

9. Cherries are a good snack, or the dessert of choice important for weight maintenance, due to the low calorie intake. 100 grams of cherries provide only 48 calories.
10. Because of its powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, cherries can act to reduce pain. They are highly recommended for the pain of tendons and muscles that suffer from overloading runners and athletes after workouts. Cherries are therefore a good remedy for rapid muscle recovery. Cherries and cherries, among other red fruits, for their richness in antioxidant anthocyanins, are proposed as suitable fruits to accelerate the muscular recovery of athletes after a hard session. The results come from researchers from the London South Bank University, in the United Kingdom, who published the study in "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise". The athletes received an antioxidant supplement based on sour cherry juice twice a day, one week before and two days after an intense workout. The recovery of the athletes after taking this supplement was significantly faster, compared to those who took other products without the same phytochemical content of the cherry juice. Therefore, eating red fruits rich in antioxidants can decrease oxidative damage in the muscles and allow a faster recovery.
