Cherries have a low glycemic index, are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Pomegranate gets its color from polyphenols, which not only give it its vibrant ruby color, but also are a strong antioxidant. Pomegranate also contains a very large amount of vitamin c, and may be able to help prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s alike. It helps improve digestion, and can reduce inflammation in your gut.

Limes are a huge immunity boost. They also reduce heart disease, improve complexion, and increase iron absorption.
