Cherries are one of the favorite fruits of my daughter and the whole family, we have cherry trees at home and this morning I harvested this delicious fruit, I decided to write an article for you explaining why it is so beneficial for your health to consume them, especially fresh.

My morning harvest πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸŒΎπŸ’

Cherries or sour cherries (scientific name: Prunus cerasus) are the fruit of the cherry tree, they are small, round and of an intense red color, with a fleshy and very sweet pulp. Below is the nutritional table of the cherry (per 100Gr):

Source of information: www.foodnutritiontable.com

Its benefits are:

* Heart: Cherries are a source of potassium and anthocyanins, which helps regulate blood pressure, reduces the risk of suffering from hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol.

* Diabetes: Consuming fresh cherries reduces the risk of suffering from this disease, since its glycemic index is low (22). Being low in sugar it is also suitable for diabetics.

* Insomnia: Drinking cherry juice 30 minutes after waking up and 30 minutes before sleeping will improve your sleep, due to its high content of melatonin.

* Aging: Cherries are colloquially known as "brain food", helping in brain health and in preventing Alzheimer's. They are also one of the fruits with the highest levels of antioxidants, these compounds help the body to fight against free radicals, which make us age.

* Muscle aches: Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties allow you to get the most out of your workouts, in short, cherries can act to reduce pain. According to clinical studies published in https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ marathon runners usually drink cherry juice twice a day the week before running a race to avoid these discomforts.

* Cancer: Its richness in bioflavonoids, especially anthocyanins, eating cherries helps reduce the risk of colon, breast, lung and prostate cancer.

Cherries have many other benefits, but I don't want to make the article too long. What if I am going to warn you is to be very careful with the cherry stone, since it contains the seed inside, it is very toxic, it contains a component that can release cyanide if ingested.

This is all for the moments friends of read.cash, I hope my article is useful. If you like, you can give me your upvote and give me your opinion below in the comment box.

I wait for you in my next post ...

Whoah! You've got some yummy cherries 🀀 I really need to visit Venezuela when things gets better so that I can get a taste of freshly picked cherries 😁 In my country (Philippines), cherries don't grow in our backyards. And I can only taste them whenever we buy canned mixed fruits that we use as an ingredient for fruit salad. Pure processed cherries are expensive though πŸ˜ͺ

When my mother bought the land of the house, the cherry trees were already there, of course they were small at that time, they began to bear fruit about 5 years ago and it is a blessing.

I think you have to dry the seeds and then make your seedbed until the little plant comes out, then find a spacious place to plant it.
