"Let your food be your only remedy," said already Hippocrates, father of medicine. Yet many practitioners offer few nutritional advice when we suffer from digestive disorders ( "eat rice and carrots against gastro"), it is rare to hear that cherries can be as effective as aspirin!
Aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) are two of the most used drugs to relieve migraines.
A new study from the University of Michigan reveals that cherries are 10 times more effective than aspirin to reduce inflammation of the tissues that cause headaches.
How is it possible?
Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant that may reduce the irritating effects of free radicals on cells.
Anthocyanins are a class of plant pigments responsible for the color of many fruits, including cherries. Researchers attribute more and more of the health benefits of these powerful antioxidants, including the ability to protect against heart disease and cancer.
According to the study, it would consume twenty cherries to note a result.
