1. Cherries are High in Antioxidants
Freeze-dried cherries and other freeze-dried fruits and berries contain essential antioxidants, including anthocyanin, a substance that gives cherries their deep red coloring. These antioxidants work to prevent the development of free radicals (atoms in our bodies that can produce a negative chain reaction) and damage to our cells.

When the body contains too many free radicals, the immune system kicks into overdrive to fight off harmful reactions. Therefore, the high level of antioxidants in cherries may support the body reduce inflammation, aches, and pains.

3. Cherries are a Sleep Aid
Studies suggest cherries are a food source of melatonin, a natural hormone used by the body to attain deep and restful sleep. Environmental factors and illnesses can reduce melatonin levels and interrupt healthy sleep patterns. Therefore, consumption of cherries may help provide a good night’s rest.
