消炎——植物化学物质抑制引起炎症的酶，从而减少关节炎、损伤和其他炎症引起的疼痛。
4. Fight cardiovascular disease – Anthocyanin also reduces inflammation, plaque and nitric oxide keeping your heart strong and healthy. Quercetin fights against free radicals, helping to prevent heart disease.
预防心血管疾病——花青素还具有消炎、减少斑块形成的作用。此外，一氧化氮（NO）促进心脏强壮和健康。槲皮素对抗自由基，有助于预防心脏病。
5. Help prevent cancer – Fibre + vitamin C + carotenoids + anthocyanins makes a powerful anti-cancer team. Quercetin and cyanidin assist by helping to reduce free radicals.
有助预防癌症——纤维+维生素C +类胡萝卜素+花青素组成了强大的抗癌团队。 槲皮素和花青素有助于减少自由基。
6. Guard against hypertension and stroke – Potassium may reduce these risks and cherries have more potassium (270mg) than strawberries (254mg) or apples (148mg).
预防高血压和中风——钾可以降低高血压和中风的风险，车厘子含钾（270mg）比草莓（254mg）或苹果（148mg）含量更多。
