PHYTO-FUNCTION : CHERRIES
Cherries are one of our anti-inflammatory summer stars: they are chock full of the antioxidant flavonoid constituent anthocyanins, pigments responsible for cherries’ brilliant color. Cherry anthocyanins lower the enzyme load present in the inflammatory response, decrease uric acid, and prevent oxidants from irritating and damaging connective tissue. In clinical trials, subjects reported less pain and greater mobility from taking cherry in several ways: the freeze-dried extract, juice, juice concentrate, or eating the whole fruit. Clinical trials have also shown cherry therapy to be effective in gout, arthritis, and muscle ache. Some studies show benefit with just 10 cherries per day! You can feel great about diving into this creamy, perfectly sweet summer treat!
