Cherries are a super fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
I like cherries a lot.
When I was a little girl, I was spending weekends and holidays in my grandparents house.
They had a huge garden with many cherry trees. I remember climbing up a tree with my cousin and eating cherries. We'd sit up there for hours and just eat. And then take a break. We stayed up there talking, laughing, it was so relaxing.
Sometimes our parents gave us a bucket to pick cherries and I remember that we were eating more cherries than we actually picked.
Ahhh, sweet memories! :-)

More about melatonin:
Cherries are rich in stable antioxidant melatonin. Melatonin is essential for our immune system and it helps maintain a healthy sleeping pattern. Melatonin can cross the blood-brain barrier easily and produces soothing effects on the brain neurons, calming down nervous system irritability, which helps relieve neurosis, insomnia and headache conditions.
Remember: Eating cherries can help ease the pain of arthritis, aid insomnia and other sleep-related disorders. Fresh cherries can provide your body with a high dose of antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radical damage, which is the main cause behind aging.
