CherryRich Information and Support
Cherries are more than just a highly anticipated, short-lived summer treat. Increasingly, researchers are discovering that cherries are bursting with phytonutrients that promote good health and slow aging. Cherries both sweet and tart are high in vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and pectin. Cherries also contain significant levels of boron, which favourably affects bone health. They are considered to be low on the glycemic index, making them an ideal fruit snack for anyone with blood sugar problems. Cherries are also an excellent source of quercetin, a flavonoid with strong antioxidant activity. Quercetin is being studied for its role in reducing the risk of heart attack, and stroke. Other phytonutrients found in sweet cherries include ellagic acid and perillyl alcohol, natural compounds that have immune boosting properties.
Dark, sweet varieties, better known as Bing cherries, contain specific healthy attributes that are largely due to anthocyanin pigments that contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Antioxidants
What are they?
Antioxidants are a large class of substances that help to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules with an unpaired electron that are extremely reactive, and damage surrounding cell membranes, fats, and fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients. We encounter free radicals through environmental exposures, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, processed foods, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun (UV rays).
What are the affects of free radicals?
Because of the highly reactive nature of free radicals, they can cause damage to any aspect of our cells and tissues. When the damage is to cell membranes and nutrients, an inflammatory response results, which can cause a wide variety of different diseases. Eventually, with prolonged free radical attack, the body begins to break down and this results in the physical signs of aging.
What do they do?
Antioxidants play a huge role in our everyday cellular processes. Because of their far-reaching effects, it is difficult to study the effects of supplementation directly. Instead, research has focused on what occurs when antioxidant levels are low and oxidative stress becomes high in the body. This condition has been associated with stroke, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and the physical signs of aging. Thus, it seems rational to suppose that increasing the intake of antioxidants can help to protect against the development of these conditions. Because of their ability to neutralize free radicals, antioxidants act as guardians in our bodies by protecting our cells, DNA, and nutrients from attack. Thus, antioxidants almost act as a "fountain of youth" by protecting us from the physical causes of aging and many diseases.
Superfruits
What are they?
Recent research has revealed a group of fruits that are so exceptionally high in antioxidants and so packed with other nutrients that specialists are referring to them as "superfruits". Some of the more exotic examples of these are: aa, goji, noni and sea-buckthorn.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are reactive substances that damage nutrients and body tissues.
We are exposed to free radicals in air pollution, UV rays, cigarette smoke, and even as byproducts of our own metabolism. Free radical damage results in cardiovascular disease, physical degeneration, and the visible signs of aging. In order to know how powerful of an antioxidant each substance is, and for the purpose of comparison, we use its oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC).
ORAC
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a laboratory test that is used as the general standard for measuring antioxidant capacity. Although ORAC is not a universal standard, it is a commonly acceptable way of comparing water-soluble antioxidants like anthocyanins to each other. On this scale, all of the superfruits register many times the antioxidant capacity of ordinary fruits and vegetables. This indicates that compared by weight, they probably do offer a greater health benefit. Different extracts and brands of each superfruit rate differently on the ORAC scale, likely because of the different ways that they have been processed. It has been recommended that the average person get at least 1670 ORAC per day with additional health benefits occurring around 2,000 3,000 ORAC per day or more.
