Nourishment Note

Cherries

Cherries are a great source of antioxidants, including anthocyanins and quercetin. Anthocyanins may help decrease the risk for certain cancers and lower inflammation within the body. Quercetin helps protect DNA and the heart.

Smoothies

Smoothies are a great option for those with swallowing difficulties. They are cool, refreshing and the thickness can be adjusted by adding more liquids or frozen ingredients. They are also great for adding nutritional boosters, like protein powder.
