the charm of cherry
why are cherries so charming...
berries get a lot of love, but there’s another fruit that deserves equal attention: tart cherries. despite their sour taste, tart cherries offer some seriously sweet health benefits, thanks to all the good-for-you nutrients packed inside their juicy red shells.
science-based health benefits of tart cherry juice
pain relief: ongoing research shows that tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants, including melatonin, which may help to relieve the pain of arthritis, gout, and possibly fibromyalgia. to date, no other fruit or vegetable has been found to have the pain relieving properties of tart cherries.
promotes better sleep: if you’re having trouble sleeping at night, eating a handful of tart cherries or a few ounces of tart cherry juice can help. researchers from louisiana state university found that participants who drank tart cherry juice twice a day for two weeks were able to sleep almost 90 minutes longer than the placebo group.
helps post-workout recovery: tart cherries may help post-exercise recovery. they are naturally high in potassium, which conducts electrical impulses throughout the body. this mineral also helps maintain blood pressure, hydration, muscle recovery, nerve impulses, digestion, heart rate, and pH balance.
