Today, let's take a look at the six health benefits of cherries.
1, iron and blood: The iron content in cherries is particularly high, ranking first among all kinds of fruits, 20-30 times higher than that of apples and pears. Adolescent girls grow and develop vigorously, and their bodies have a great demand for iron. Coupled with menstrual cramps, it is prone to iron deficiency anemia. Patients with iron deficiency anemia eat a dozen cherries every day, make cherry syrup, cherry sauce and even put them on a plate, which has a good health care effect.
2. Improve sleep: A new study shows that cherry juice can improve sleep quality. The results showed that the urine melatonin content of volunteers who drank cherry juice (30ml twice a day for 7 days) increased 15%~ 16%, the sleep time increased by 20 minutes, and the sleep quality improved by 5%~6%.
3. Prevention of gout: A professor from the School of Medicine and Public Health of Boston University and his colleagues found that eating cherries or cherry extracts can reduce the risk of gout attacks. If you eat three times two days before the onset (each time 10- 12 cherries), the probability of gout attack will be lower.
4. Beauty: It is recorded in "Records of Famous Doctors": "Eating cherries makes people lustful and ambitious." Cherry juice is often used to rub face and wrinkles, which can make facial skin ruddy and white, and remove wrinkles and spots. Take 80 grams of cherries and cold water 1 cup.

6. Treatment of frostbite: "Cherry water" made of cherries is a good medicine for treating frostbite. The traditional method of making cherry water is to put a few kilograms of fresh cherries in a magnetic tank, seal them, bury them in the ground about 1 m deep, become natural water after 7- 10 days, and then use them to treat frostbite and chilblain, which has obvious effect. Now, we can wash the cherries, dry them and soak them in high alcohol or alcohol for later use. In winter, you can rub the affected area of frostbite to stop festering, relieve itching and help the recovery of frostbite, three times a day.
Although cherries have a good therapeutic effect, remember that the following three people should avoid eating them:
1. Cherry is mild and not suitable for people with fever and cough due to deficiency heat. Cherry nucleolus contains cyanosides, which are hydrolyzed to produce hydrocyanic acid. Be careful when using it in medicine.

Cherry contains 258 mg of potassium per100g, which is not small for patients with kidney disease. If the kidneys of patients with nephropathy lose the function of regulating water and electrolytes, oliguria and edema will occur. When oliguria occurs, potassium retention may occur due to reduced potassium excretion. If the patient eats too many cherries, the patient's blood potassium will be high. When the blood potassium is >: 6.5 mmol/L, the patient's heart will stop beating within a few seconds to a few minutes. Therefore, hyperkalemia can be said to be the "invisible killer" of chronic kidney disease.
