(ARA) - Cherries have pleased the palates of food lovers for centuries. Their ruby-red color and tangy taste won cherries a place on the tables of Roman conquerors, Greek citizens and Chinese noblemen.
Ongoing research suggests the cherry not only offers great taste, but huge health benefits.
From old wives tales and folklore, this tiny red fruit has been credited with an array of natural health benefits, including helping people get a good night’s sleep to keeping joints healthy and functioning well.
However, with 21st century research technology we now know those folklores and tales are more than mere legend.
As more people are searching for natural remedies, the tart cherry is fast becoming a favorite of those who want to enjoy an active lifestyle. So what makes cherries so special and why are we only starting to hear about them now?
Finding Reliable Tart Cherry Research
Ongoing research from several leading universities and global organizations offer supporting scientific evidence regarding the amazing benefits of the tart cherry. According to research conducted at the University of Vermont, a tart cherry juice blend helped soothe muscle soreness due to physical exercise. In addition, research results from Michigan State University (MSU) have shed light on the ability of the tart cherry to help maintain healthy joint function.
The “Dean of Melatonin,” Dr. Russel Reiter, professor of neuroendocrinlogy at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, has conducted research on the tart cherry and melatonin. Based upon these research results, tart cherries are found to be a natural source of melatonin. Since melatonin helps regulate the body’s natural clock, tart cherries may also help many get a more restful sleep.
Your Daily Dose of Tart Cherry
Eating fresh tart cherries daily is an ideal way to get the health benefits of this fruit. Research from MSU suggests that by eating just 20 cherries a day a person could realize the health benefits provided by the tart cherry.
However, during the cold winter months finding fresh cherries may be extremely difficult. Until recently, one remedy for those looking to enjoy the antioxidant-rich benefits of cherries during the winter months was to wait until the summer harvest.
