Health Fitness Articles:Benefit Consumption Cherry

Health fitness articles in this section will review how benefit of consumption cherry. I love cherry, usually I add this fruit in ice cream and cake. Both sweet and tart cherries are rich in antioxidants, including anthocyanins (responsible for red skin and flesh color), catechins, chlorogenic acid, flavonal glycosides and melatonin.

Many health fitness articles and researches talk about this fruit. A research from California University, got result that consumed two servings (280 g) of cherries after an overnight fast will decreased plasma urate. This research have published on Nutrition Journal.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Center and University of California have done research about affect consumption cherries to lower plasma urate. They measured plasma urate, antioxidant and inflammatory markers in 10 healthy women who consumed Bing sweet cherries.The women, age 22– 40 y, consumed two servings (280 g) of cherries after an overnight fast. Blood and urine samples were taken before the cherry dose, and at 1.5, 3 and 5 h postdose.


The result showed that, the cherries consumption will decreased Plasma urate decreased 5 h postdose, mean 183 ±15 µmol/L compared with predose baseline of 214 ± 13 µmol/L (P< 0.05). Urinary urate increased postdose, with peak excretion of 350 ± 33 µmol/mmol creatinine 3 h postdose compared with 202 ±13 at baseline (P < 0.01).

Cherries have an unique reputation for providing anti-gout and anti-inflammatory benefits. Data from the present study cannot definitively establish the mechanism whereby cherry consumption lowers plasma urate. Plasma urate is largely reabsorbed in the renal tubules after glomerular filtration, whereas plasma creatinine is cleared
without reabsorption. The observed postdose increase in urinary urate per unit creatinine excretion and the decrease in plasma creatinine suggest that cherries may exert their uratelowering effect by increasing the rate of renal glomerular filtration and/or reducing tubular reabsorption.


The vitamin C content of the cherries was solely as dehydroascorbic acid, but postdose increases in plasma ascorbic acid indicated that dehydroascorbic acid in fruits
is bioavailable as vitamin C. The decrease in plasma urate after cherry consumption supports the reputed anti-gout efficacy of cherries.
