I was doing a search on Pinterest for healthy juices. I love to juice, but have grown a bit tired of juicing. It’s Summertime, so easier to reach for a bottle of beer, a glass of tea, or a margarita! And oh there’s so many choices these days! But I want a good, refreshing, healthy drink, and my diabetes demands it.
On my search on Pinterest for healthy drinks, I came across this info on cherry juice.
I had recently discovered the health benefits of cherry juice, but hadn’t really experimented with different ways of juicing this wonderful fruit. Wow, the recipes I have found during this search were amazing!
I love cherries, and the early summer months provide an ample supply of them (though not always cheap). Of course it’s healthy to eat them, but according to Livestrong.com you’d have to eat an entire stack of them to gain the health benefits of juicing. As a juicer myself, I love to learn new juicing recipes.
And if you aren’t a juicer, you can still receive the benefits of cherry juice with tart cherry juice concentrate. There are actually several different manufactures out there. Cheribundi is one. Just make sure what you find isn’t full of processing.
In case you didn’t know, cherry juice helps in your recovery after exercise, lowers cholesterol, and offers powerful antioxidants to help aid in fighting cancer and other diseases. They’re a good source of melatonin and help dissolve uric acid crystals, which is great news for those gout sufferers! Maybe next time you have gout, you should pick up a bottle of tart cherry juice concentrate, or try juicing your own cherries. As a Type I diabetic, I love knowing that cherries actually help in lowering blood sugar!
The anthocyanins in cherries helps to relieve pain and the melatonin will help in your mood and sleep cycle. So maybe the next time you’re having trouble sleeping, you could try eating or juicing some cherries?
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a glass of cherry juice. And because I’m so excited about my new discover of cherries (I love to learn new things about health), I wanted to mention Cheribundi and all the different types of juices they have to offer. I, for one, can’t wait to try it!
Please note, this is not an advertising for Cheribundi, or any other type of cherry juice. It’s just a brand I like, and I like to share the things I like. Especially when it’s good for us! What’s funny is that I thought I’d try to plant a cherry tree by taking my cherry seeds and trying a replant. Hubby even helped research how to do it. Then I found this blog hop about winning a cherry tree. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
