Eat Red. Choose Cherries as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle

Cherries are one of today's hottest 'Super Fruits'!

You may have heard that cherries are one of today’s hottest “Super Fruits,” but did you know they may also help protect your heart? Cherries’ RED color comes from powerful antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins that studies suggest may reduce risk factors for heart disease. Recent research conducted by the University of Michigan found that a cherry-rich diet significantly lowered blood cholesterol levels and reduced triglycerides, major risk factors for heart disease.

And since cherries are available year-round in dried, frozen and juice products, it’s easy to eat red and choose cherries as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. So discover the power of eating red with cherries during National Eat Red Week…and beyond! Click here for new red hot cherry recipes.
