Eating cherries can greatly increase the amount of melatonin in the body. Studies have shown that people who suffered heart attacks have low melatonin levels.

Like most fruits, the cherry is low fat, low in calories (100 g cherry bring between 60 and 68 calories only). Eat cherries (like fruit) offers not only health benefits but also helps keep your line. In addition, cherries contain lots of water (81 g water in 100 g of cherry). Yet various studies have shown that increasing water consumption elevates energy levels and helps improve metabolism. Recall that a stable and high metabolism helps burn more calories even at rest, which can help you lose weight.
Cherries are rich in potassium and low in sodium. This helps control water retention by improving the balance of water levels in the body. A diet low in sodium often results in a loss of weight in water present in excess in the body. Cherries therefore help to lose weight in water.
