“Cherries contain a lot of fiber. They bind water in the small intestine and put pressure on the intestinal wall. This stimulates digestion,” adds Dr. Strokov added.

Cherries contain melatonin, the so-called sleep hormone. When it gets dark, the body releases melatonin, signaling the transition to night. Cherries can help increase the amount of melatonin in the body, thereby improving sleep.

Cherries improve skin condition. The reason for this is the plant pigment anthocyanin contained in their composition, which is a powerful antioxidant. This substance fights free radicals that contribute to premature aging of the skin and body. In addition, anthocyanins promote the development of connective tissue, which prevents the development of cellulite.

Cherries relieve headaches.
