On organic cherries! $1.99 per pound at DeKalb Farmer's Market. Previously $4.99 per pound. I may have gone overboard on the amount I purchased today but Hey! I hear they freeze well.
Here are seven good reasons to eat cherries:
Great anti-inflammatory! One of nature's most powerful anti-inflammatories, which means they're beneficial for many different conditions (inflammation is a hallmark of most disease from colds to cancer).
Arthritis Benefits! Due to their, you guessed it, anti-inflammatory properties.
Heart Health! Lowers inflammation, body fat, and cholesterol.
Cancer Protection! Due to their high level of an antioxidant called cyanidin. Cyanidin is an important free radical scavenger that promotes cellular differentiation, an important process in the body's fight against cancerous cells.
Memory Booster! Anthocyanin has also been shown to improve memory.
High in Beta Carotene! Cherries contain 19 times more beta carotene that blueberries or strawberries!!!!!
Sleep Aid! Cherries contain melatonin, a hormone that regulates the body's sleep cycles.
