HEALTH: CHERRIES BLOSSOM

HELLO READERS!

CHERRIES BLOSSOM

Cherries have anti-inflammatory compounds that can soothe arthritis and gout, and new research now suggests they may also be the answer to a good night’s sleep.

Sour cherries are one of the few foods known to have naturally occurring melatonin, the chemical that regulates the body’s circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.

‘’very few foods have been tested for melatonin content’’, says Dr Russell. ‘’ He also added that sour cherries have substantial amounts. They are on the high end of the scale.’’

For late-night snack, try cherry jam on toast. Research suggests melatonin works best when consumed in the hour before bedtime.
