Iron is the raw material for synthesizing hemoglobin. For women, iron plays a rather important role. Research by the World Health Organization showed that about 50% of girls, 20% of adult women and 40% of pregnant women suffered from iron deficiency anemia.

Cherries can help relieve anemia. Anemia is mainly determined by physical characteristics. Adolescent girls who are in the growth spurt have a high demand for iron. If combined with the monthly period, they tend to suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Pregnant and lactating women need to provide nutrients to the fetus or infant, so their iron demand is also high.

For older women, their gastrointestinal absorption and hematopoietic function weaken with increasing age, which can lead to anemia. Secondly, many women are reluctant to eat meat, which results in unbalanced nutrition. And that is another important reason for iron deficiency. Therefore, eating cherries regularly can not only relieve anemia, but also treat a number of gynecological diseases caused by anemia.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, cherries have great medicinal values. Every part of a cherry can be used as a medicine. And its fresh fruit has the functions of sweating, benefiting vital energy, dispersing pathogenic wind, and promoting rash. In addition, cherries are suitable for diet therapy to treat numbness of the extremities and lumbocrural rheumatic pain.

When we buy cherries, it is better to choose cherries with a stem. In addition, delicate color and smooth skin are also important factors to pay attention to. If there are cherries left, it is better to store them in the refrigerator and the best temperature is around one below zero.

A cherry is a type of berry and it can be easily damaged, so we need to handle cherries with care. Also, although cherries are tasty, we should not eat too much because there is a certain amount of cyanogenic glycosides in cherries, which can lead to iron poisoning or cyanide poisoning if we eat too many cherries.

Cherries are nutritious, and the content of protein, sugar, phosphorus, carotene, vitamin C in a cherry is higher than that of apple and pear. If possible, we can apply cherry juice on the face, which is a good way to help us remove wrinkles and freckles. Also, cherries can make the skin pink and fair.
