All kinds of cherries contain antioxidants, but they may vary in concentration depending on the color of cherries. Sour cherries are the richest types of cherries with antioxidants.
Regulate sleep hours and cycle
According to a study published in the journal Agricultural and Food Chemistry, cherries naturally contain melatonin (Melatonin), a substance secreted by the brain and helps to regulate the hours and sleep cycle. This substance is produced in the dark and is affected by several factors, including artificial lighting that we are exposed to, which limits the production of melatonin, so eating foods such as cherries contribute to increasing levels in the body.
