Cherries: A sweet treat that's good for you
Cherries will always be associated with our first president, George Washington. With President's Day just passed, research shows there are other reasons to celebrate cherries — they can help you lose weight and prevent a host of diseases. Cherries contain a high percentage of water. Increasing water consumption boosts energy levels and increases metabolism to help lose excess weight. Cherries also are high in potassium and low in sodium, which helps control water retention, according to www.weightlossforall.com. Cherries are very low in calories, with about 80 per cup, and contain just a trace of fat. They also are a good source of vitamin A and antioxidants. They also contain 19 times as much beta carotene as blueberries or strawberries. Cherries contain many compounds that are beneficial in fighting some cancers because they remove free radicals.
