Cherries
Cherries are just a real delight, a tasty and light snack for hot summer days. They contain two powerful antioxidants that fight cancer and heart disease: quercetin and anthocyanin. A lesser known fact is that cherries are among the few foods rich in melatonin, which is a hormone that lowers body temperature and induces sleepiness, thus ensuring a peaceful sleep.
In addition to potassium and quercetin, cherries are also rich in beta-carotene, a very important antioxidant for the body that has, among other things, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, because it has a protective role against sunlight.
In fact, cherries are the fruits with the highest content of antioxidants. They fight free radicals, which cause signs of premature aging and oxidative stress. According to researchers, a glass of cherry juice a day has the ability to slow down the aging process.
