Are Cherries Good for Pregnancy?

Are cherries good for pregnancy? Any woman that is expecting a child is likely familiar with the seemingly endless list of vital do’s and don'ts that comes along with pregnancy. Because of this, asking a question as simple as “are cherries good for pregnancy” can seem overwhelming!

There are many foods that doctors insist soon-to-be mothers cut out of their diets. Expectant mothers should avoid: raw meat, unpasteurized dairy products, and sprouts.

Cherries are not on this list. They’re considered to be a safe food to eat unless the mother is allergic to them. In fact, many doctors believe that eating cherries can provide many benefits for pregnant women.

The Values of Cherries for Pregnant Women

During pregnancy, the mother’s immune system is often somewhat compromised. If they regularly enjoy cherries, however, women can get a new source of vitamin C and a variety of antioxidants. They can even take advantage of a wave of flavonoids that can fight infection and boost their immunity levels.

And the pigment in cherries—known as anthocyanins—is incredibly effective in treating inflammation and joint pain that are so common during pregnancy. They also provide a natural aid against constipation, migraines, and insomnia.

However, since cherries are an inherently seasonal fruit, they can be challenging to find year ‘round. Chukar Cherries’ dried fruit, energy mixes, and cherry granola are great options for ensuring your diet contains plenty of cherries no matter the season. Many of Chukar’s products are no sugar added and/or organic and easy to tuck into purses or lunch boxes for a safe and healthy snack.

Cherries and Growing Fetuses

When you’re asking “are cherries good for pregnancy,” it helps to consider the effect these fruits have on a growing newborn. As the anthocyanins in cherries help an expectant mother’s swelling, they can also protect the neural cells and promote the brain health of their developing newborn.

When a mother regularly eats cherries, they promote blood flow to the placenta. Blood flow is absolutely vital for pregnant mothers, as it’s how the fetus gets its nutrients as it grows.

Pregnancy is a period of growth for everyone involved. And for mother and baby alike, there’s a lot of comfort and use that can be gained from a perfectly nutritious cherry! If you’re expecting, treat yourself and your new baby to some of Chukar’s tasty dried cherries and snacks. Or, if you know someone who is expecting, give them a gift of good health featuring Washington cherries.
