Description and Benefits of Cherries

Cherry

Cherries are a delightful fruit, packed with nutritional highlights that make them a wonderful addition to any diet. A single cup of cherries, about 138 grams, provides approximately 87 calories, 22 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of fiber. They are also a rich source of vitamin C, offering around 16% of the daily recommended intake, which supports immune health and skin vitality. Additionally, cherries contain small amounts of potassium, aiding in muscle function and heart health, while their low glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Beyond their nutritional profile, cherries offer numerous health benefits, thanks to their potent antioxidants like anthocyanins and cyanidin, which give them their vibrant color. These compounds help reduce inflammation and may alleviate symptoms of arthritis or gout. Cherries also promote better sleep by naturally increasing melatonin levels, making them a great evening snack. Furthermore, their antioxidants support heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and reducing oxidative stress, making cherries a polite and flavorful choice for overall wellness.
