Boost mental health

A few risk factors for cognitive decline and changes in brain health with aging are oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Finding strategies to reduce these elements may allow you to maintain your brain healthy for a longer period of time. According to a 2019 study, consuming sour cherry juice on a regular basis may increase brain functions such as memory and learning.

Another study connected anthocyanins, a kind of antioxidant found in cherries, to better cognitive performance in dementia patients. The subjects' linguistic skills, short-term memory, and long-term memory improved after 12 weeks of consuming cherry juice daily.

Eating cherries may increase brain cell activity and reduce inflammation, according to research. This is due to the presence of 'anthocyanins', which are healthful plant components that accumulate in the brain following cherry eating. Anthocyanins are antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that protect and maintain the function of brain cells.
