That might be what doctors will soon be recommending for your arthritis and headaches. According to the Cherry Marketing Institute, ongoing research indicates that tart cherries and cherry juice are a rich source of antioxidants that can help fight cancer and heart disease. In addition they contain compounds that help relieve the pain of arthritis, gout, and headaches. The secret ingredient is in the natural dyes which give cherries their rich color. These compounds are called "Mother Nature's all-natural chemotherapy agents." Cherries also contain queritin ... supposedly one of the most potent anti-cancer agents ever discovered. Who would have guessed that just by the simple act of eating cherries, we are capable of neutralizing cancer-causing agents.
Research is also indicating that cherries contain high melatonin content. Melatonin is a natural way of getting more restful sleep. All this research is ongoing; it is still in the early stages. But most of us like cherries anyway, so doesn't it make sense to eat them as a snack regularly or drink cherry juice daily.
Now, all I'm waiting for is for researchers to learn which fruit is the miracle food for losing weight.
