Pitted Sour Cherries

Sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L.) have always been sought after for both their taste and the benefits of the nutrients they contain. A combination of sweet and sour, sour cherries have great health benefits. Sour cherries are full of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, those phytochemicals responsible for the red pigmentation. Additionally, anthocyanins have a good anti-inflammatory effect, encouraging blood circulation and contributing to the balance of the nervous system. Sour cherries also provide a healthy dose of Vitamin C, essential for strengthening the immune system.

From time to time, eat 10 or 20 sour cherries immediately after dinner and before going to bed, and you will notice an improvement in the quality of your sleep. You can alternate with a glass of sour cherry juice. The secret lies in melatonin, a hormone that helps you have a restful sleep, discovered by researchers in sour cherries.

The fiber content in these small fruits helps you combat digestive problems. They also have a laxative effect, beneficial in treating mild constipation. At the same time, sour cherries help rid the body of toxins and aid in the elimination of uric acid from the blood. If you have diabetes or increased acidity of gastric juice it is not recommended to consume sour cherries or sour cherry juice.
