Red cherries are low in fat, cholesterol-free and rich in fibre, potassium, vitamin A and C. This team of nutrients contributes to reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The rich deep-red anthocyanin pigments found in cherries have potent anti-inflammatory abilities that may prevent arthritis and relieve its symptoms. These deep-red pigments also help to fight heart disease and stroke by blocking the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, reducing blood clots, and reducing inflammation that contributes to the build-up of plaque. As well, cherries contain a flavonoid called terpenoid that appears to fight cancer and combat tumors. Action Tip: Cherries are delicious as is and add wonderful colour to fruit
salads, baked goods and rich flavour to fruit salsas served over meat
and poultry. |
