Do Cherries Have Health Benefits




 
 

7.Unlikely to Be an Upper
Some studies show that sweet cherries make you feel better. They might lower anxiety and a hormone related to stress. But other studies haven’t been able to recreate those effects. Eating cherries probably isn’t the most effective way to put you in a better mood.

 

8.Potential Sleep Aid
Eating either sweet or tart cherries may help you get more and better sleep. Studies suggest that this effect of cherries happens within days. But you need to eat a lot of cherries — 25 sweet or about 100 tart cherries a day. The easier way to get that many cherries is by drinking a more concentrated juice. The reason this works might be because cherries are a source of melatonin, a hormone that’s important for sleep.
