Bonus tip: the antioxidant levels decrease in frozen cherries, and even more so in canned cherries, however the level remains noteworthy.

Not only do they feed your stomach, but your brain too.​

Cherries contain a compound called flavonoids which shield the fruit from both insect and microbe damage, thus better preserving the many health components.
Moreover, flavonoids are likely to prevent neurons from dying, and even strengthen their attachment to other neurons.
One specific antioxidant compound they have, anthocyanin, includes anti-inflammatory features.
These features are known to be inhibitory for brain deterioration, enhance cognition, and improve memory.

They can help your hangover.​

Not only will they help you replenish the lost electrolytes, but cherries contain natural fructose which is believed to quicken the metabolism of ******* in the body.

They help you bounce back after a workout.​

The anti-inflammatory properties from the anthocyanin help speed up the recovery process by repairing your muscles quicker.
Eating cherries also results in less muscle damage in the first place.
This links back to the antioxidants which produces more oxygen in your system.
This also means you will experience less muscle pain and tenderness overall.

Cherries help you with weight loss.​

Eating a bowl of cherries before a meal will help you eat less overall and help speed up your metabolism.
This also means cherries make a great snack for in between meals or satisfying your craving for sweets.
Even with all their benefits, one cherry contains about 5 calories, so be sure to keep track of just how much you eat, otherwise using cherries to lose weight will backfire.

Melatonin is a natural hormone found in the body, but certain habits can prevent it from producing enough to sleep well.
On average, there are 13 nanograms of melatonin per gram of cherry.

Drinking a glass or two of tart cherry juice 30-60 minutes before bed and bringing more melatonin into your system will make it easier to not only fall asleep at night, but stay asleep.
