It is well known that a healthy and balanced diet has a positive effect on our psychophysical well-being. Among the many eating habits to adopt, there is certainly that of consuming seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh and if possible at km 0. Only in this way will we guarantee that the foods ingested retain all their properties and nutritional principles intact. And July is definitely the time for a sweet and juicy fruit, which appeals to young and old, with a ruby red color. We are talking about cherries, the sweetest rubies of the summer, to be tasted, guilt-free, until the first days of August. Cherries, in fact, have a low calorie content and are therefore also excellent for those on a diet: only 40 calories for every 100 grams.
The fruit with many beneficial properties
Cherries have many beneficial properties: they are rich, for example, in anti-aging vitamins, such as C and A. Furthermore, they also contain minerals and anthocyanins, which provide the human body with powerful antioxidants that slow down brain aging. And not only. Cherries – always included in a healthy and varied diet – are important allies to prevent hardening of blood vessels and strengthen the heart. According to research from the University of Michigan, cherries can reduce the amount of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.
