Oh, my cherries!

Hi everyone! After a few days, I am back! And today I will entertain you with some nutrition basics.
As said in the previous posts this blog will not barely deal with fitness meant as exercising and diet. It will also provide you with intresting facts about your daily routine that may change the way you see things.

Therefore, today's topic will be cherries. What a wonderful fruit! I do not know about you but they are so delicious that once I start eating one, I just cannot stop!

Since it is one of those fruits that everyone likes it is important to state that cherries have various beneficial effects on health. They contain vitamins A and C that improve our vision and help the immune system. They also help prevent diseases suh as arteriosclerosis, kidney failures and cellular aging.

It is also recommended, and extremely smart, to use the all fruit for food/drink preparations. For example, if you suffer from cystitis, you can prepare a green peduncles infusion to drink twice a day.
If you suffer from joint pain, do not throw the cherry pits away as they are good conductors of heat to be used for relieving pain. Here are the two most common use:
  • Hot therapy - joint pain: wash the cherry pits and let them dry out. Creat a pillow out of them and heat it in a microwave for about 1 minute. Put it wherever it is needed. 
  • Cold therapy - contusions and sprains: wash the cherry pits and let them dry out. Creat a pillow out of them and put it in the freezer for about 2 hours. Put it wherever it is needed.
