A CUP OF CHERRIES GOES A LONG WAY......


               My hubby is VERY picky with foods.  Poor guy’s pallet just does NOT agree with MANY foods that I take for granted.  Cherries are a super food that he can tolerate. I asked him to research the nutrition of cherries and to my surprise HE was even impressed, which is saying a lot!  I was amazed how nutritional cherries were and the amazing results they have to offer. 

                Cherries are LOADED with antioxidants, which fight diseases, help maintain youth, and fight free radicals which are dangerous to our bodies.  Antioxidants reduce dangerous inflammation.  Cherries hold over a whopping 4,000+ antioxidants (1cup!).  Cherries offer melatonin which helps with sleeping patterns and provide better brain function, relives pain from arthritis because of the anti inflammatory miracles they provide, and loaded with anthocyanins which protect the heart. 

                Needless to say, cherries are in season and we are buying them by the bag full.  This super food is ZERO points for Weight Watchers.  ENJOY SOME CHERRIES!
