How good it feels when you love some food and it has loads of benefits attached! Lovely info, Alison.
great to know. They are my favorite fruit!
Love your healthy living posts Alison! I always look foward to them
That photo rocks! Great information too! Loving your site
Great information as always, Alison! I had always heard that cherries were great for arthritis and have noticed a difference myself when I eat them regularly.
Fantastic info as always. The other benefit is that they are so good!
We have been eating cherries like crazy! I keep buying them with the idea that i will cook them, but by the time I am ready to use them– they are gone again! Now I just have to hope they have some effect on my cranky runner’s knees…
LOVE cherries! I could smear them all over my face and be content.
Great info on healthy benefits Alison. I have bag full of cherries I am snacking on and about to photograph, if the don’t disappear, soon!
Great informative post once again – thank you for sharing this!
Ventured to your site through Maris’s site. I’m glad to stop by – love your informative posts!
I had no idea cherries helped regulate melatonin, amazing!
I can eat 4 pounds of cherries a week. I wish the season was longer.
Thanks for this great info on cherries! Good thing we eat lots of them over here 🙂
Cherries are one of my favorite fruits. Nice to know how good they are for you.
Great to find your blog via Maris! I love cherries…mmmmmm.
wow, i never knew this- even more reasons to love cherries!
Oh I love cherries so I am really glad to read all of this great information on them. Really like your blog!!
More reasons for me to enjoy cherries instead of simply because I love them! 🙂
mmm, i adore cherries so reading about all the benefits they have is great! i just added ’em to my grocery list for the day!
Cherries have been truly a lifechanger! After developing gout a few years ago, I discovered cherries are one of the best things in not only preventing flare-ups, but in minimizing them once they occur. Certainly tremendous for anyone like me who has had the painful experience of having gout. Reading about the beta carotene and antioxidant benefits for me is simply icing on the cake!
This fruit is so beautiful and a clear example of God’s grandeur. As He is the real creator of all fruit n fruit help us in accordance to their shape resemblance with human body.
Cherries are one of my favorites. So great that they’re healthy too.
Only after reading this i bought cherries & tasted . A wonderful fruit indeed.Thanks for your posting.
Wow! I didn’t know cherries have so much benefits. they are one of my favoriete fruite too. I am glad I found this site. Thank you for the info.
Thanks for this wonderful information on Healthy Benefits of Cherries. I will share with family and friends.
i am very surprised to find what are the benefits of cherries, i am looking for a natural way to help regulate my pre-hypertension…and i very happy to find this page….
Great to know!! I have a cherry tree in my yard and since they are all ripe right now I really have no choice but to eat them. Good to know what the benefits are 🙂
Great info but one question. As there are two types, sour or tart cherries and sweet ones which ones do you mean when you name ten benefits above? In Turkey, sweet cherries are abundantly and cheaply available now but tart ones are usually used for making juice.
Instead of taking aspirin the next day for soreness after running or working out. I started taking eating cherries and drinking plenty of water. And that works better than any over-the-counter pills.
My favorite flavor and fruit…would rather have cherries than candy as a child. Who knew they were SO healthy????
Thank you so much for this information.
I love fresh cherries how much an adult can take per day.
I suffered from gout and I always have foot pain every time I work out. I experimented eating a handful of fresh cherries everyday for 1 week. The result is amazing! My foot pain was minimized and can do 1 hour of running and walking now in treadmill!
This is a super delicious and sweet treat that I can actually not feel guilty about eating. Especially after working out!
One truly gifted food that i have been a long time favorite of it. Amazing!!
The grocery store had a ton of fresh cherries, nice and ripe last night. While I heard they were good for you, I don’t like them, and I hate anything with pits, so I didn’t get them. I was going to buy the frozen ones to throw in my smoothies since I had read somewhere some time ago that they were good for you (I love looking up nutritional info as I do try to cure a lot of things naturally,) but unfortunately, the package on the frozen ones said they may contain pits.
Though I don’t have rheumatoid arthritis, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and my symptoms are very similar to rheumatoid arthritis. I am constantly consuming foods to relieve the pain of rheumatoid arthritis. To date, I have had no luck. Maybe cherries will help. If not, if anything, I am confident that there are many diseases I will not get from all the super-healthy foods I eat.
I will get myself to the store again tomorrow or Wednesday and pick up a ton of cherries, de-pit them and freeze them for my smoothies. I’m sure the sweetness of the apple and red grapes will offset the tartness of the cherries, as they do for the strawberries and blueberries (obviously I don’t care for fruit). If not, I don’t mind my smoothies a bit tart.
Thank you for the helpful info!
Oops – had I known that what I was writing wouldn’t display in separate paragraphs as I had spaced out properly, I wouldn’t have written a novel above. Sorry!

I am a cherry lover and really believe in their health benefits. This is not something new. Cherries health benefits have been used for centuries. Many old family medical notes and books show that cherries and cherry extract can help gout and other inflammatory problems.
Great benefits …… Dont miss in season, must have. Cherry A super fruit 🙂
I am eating some as I read this. Was just curious of the health benefits. Wow! This is great to know. The best ones I have so far is from Publix, one our Supermarket chains here in So Flo.

Here is my site webpage; Linnie,
“7. Eating cherries reduces the risk of diabetes.”
I’d like for people to not group both forms of “diabetes” as a general disease. Cherries or anything else on this planet (or any other) will not “prevent” or reduce the risk of Type 1 diabetes. The correction should be “Eating cherries reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes”. I’m so tired of people telling me to do this or eat that to “reduce” or cure my diabetes. I did like your article, diabetes is just a sore spot for me and I wish people would get more educated about the difference between Type 1 and Type 2. In the most basic terms, Type 1 = No pacreatic function; Type 2 = antibodies attacking the insulin produced by a working pancreas.
