Cherry, mango and apricot smoothie dessert

Recommendations: Add almond cream or coconut cream.

PERFECT WEIGHT LOSS FOOD
A cherry is made up of more than 75% water. This water content makes cherries a perfect weight loss food. Foods that are high in water can help keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time than foods and drinks that are higher in calories. Cherries are also loaded with soluble fibre. This water dissolvable fibre helps accelerate weight loss and reduces your cholesterol levels by slowing its absorption into your blood.

PREVENT CANCER AND DISEASE
Cherries are full of antioxidants. which have a several benefits including the ability to prevent cancer and heart disease, as well as combating free radicals. The antioxidants found in cherries also work to slow the signs of aging.

HELP YOU SLEEP
Cherries naturally contain melatonin - a natural substance that is typically produced by your brain to regulate your sleep cycles. Your body does have the ability to produce its own melatonin but not everyone is able to produce all the melatonin that is needed. Eating cherries before bed acts works by replacing some of the lost melatonin thus helping you sleep.

HELP CURE MIGRAINES
By helping to reduce inflammation in the body, the anthocyanin and bioflanoids in cherries also help eliminate migraine headaches. These compounds are known to have similar activity to aspirin and ibuprofen.

SUPPORT GOOD BONE HEALTH
Cherries also contain boron, which helps increase bone health when consumed in conjunction with magnesium and calcium.

HELP RELIEVE GOUT AND ARTHRITIS
Tart cherries contain two powerful compounds, anthocyanins and bioflavonoids. Both of these compounds slow down the enzymes Cyclo-oxyygenase-1 and — 2, which helps to relieve and prevent arthritis and gout in the body.

ALKALISING EFFECT ON THE BODY
Sour cherries have an alkalising effect on the body helping maintain a balanced PH level.
