Drinking tart cherry juice hours before you hit the hay may help one fall asleep faster and even improves the quality and duration of sleep, as well as reduce the severity of insomnia.

Cherries are naturally high in melatonin, a hormone that induces sleep.

These are low in calories and high in antioxidants, thus increasing immunity. Cherries can also help prevent cancer cells from multiplying, and are best eaten between May and July," says nutritionist Naini Setalvad.
