Cherry juice benefits

One common rule, that can be freely applied to any type of foods, be it fruits or vegetables and all the rest, is that the bigger the quantities the more effect it has. In this case, the more cherries consumed, the greater the amount of essential antioxidants.

Numerous studies done in the recent couple of years have provided the evidence that even a small amount of cherry juice such as 250 ml, consumed on a daily basis equals the health benefits of no less than 23 different vegetables and fruits. Numerous research studies conducted in the recent years have also established that cherries contain greater amounts of antioxidants than many of the food sources previously considered to be the richest sources, such as watermelons, bananas, peas, carrots and tomatoes.
