eat Cherries every day 

ORAC Score of tart cherries

Antioxidant capacity of foods is measured in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units. ORAC score shows how many oxygen radicals a food can absorb and deactivate. The ORAC value is expressed in micromoles of Trolox Equivalents (µmol/TE) per 100 grams of sample (this is the laboratory measure of ORAC). The higher the score the better a food may be in its ability to fight oxidants. Nutrition experts estimate that a person needs to consume 3,000 - 5,000 ORAC units a day. SO Just 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of concentrated cherry juice provide 12,800 ORAC units. or just 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) will supply 3,657 ORAC units, which is more than the minimum daily recommended amount.



ALSO If you’ve ever had an ulcer, you know how hard it is to get relief. For some people, ulcers start out as gastritis. That’s widespread inflammation in the gut. Gastritis can cause enough pain on its own. But when it causes an ulcer, you need to treat it right away. 
SO If you want real relief, you need to get to the root of the problem. What’s that? 

Well, for most ulcers, it’s usually bacteria called H. pylori.
The good news is that your gut fights inflammation every day. It produces good bacteria and natural substances that keep you healthy. One of those natural substances is a surprising hormone that most people don’t know their gut even produces.

This unlikely hormone heals gastritis and kills H. pylori. It’s melatonin .

Yes, the same melatonin you take to help you sleep.
Your pineal gland makes melatonin, but your gut produces 400-times more. And, it gobbles up damaging free radicals. Including the stomach acid and enzymes that can cause damage to your stomach lining.
Melatonin can prevent ulcers, colitis, irritable bowel disease, and colon cancer. 
Now a new study proves the power of melatonin to get rid of the H.pylori bacteria.

One hundred patients with duodenal ulcers and gastritis took part in the study. All the patients had H. pylori bacteria in their gut. For the first seven days, one group took an antibiotic and medication to block stomach acid. The second group had the same treatment, but also took melatonin. They took 3 mg before bed.
After the first week, both groups quit taking the antibiotic.
At the end of two months…The patients who took melatonin had less H. pylori in their gut. Melatonin helped get rid of it, and gut inflammation. These people experienced better gut healing.
As you age, your natural melatonin levels decrease. The best way to get it is to get enough sleep. But that’s not always so easy.

Caffeine might decrease melatonin levels in the body. However, several foods contain melatonin, and can help increase your body’s levels.
Tart cherries, walnuts, red wine, bananas, tomatoes, and ginger are good sources.

So, try melatonin to give your gut some powerful protection. Get also benefit from getting a good night’s sleep. Quality sleep lowers your stress levels stress can also cause inflammation throughout your body, including your gut and intestines.
