Diet Tip
Listen up, runners! Drinking cherry juice may help you ease the pain of muscle damage or injury. Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University tracked 60 healthy adults between 18 to 50 years old, and found those who drank 10.5 ounces of 100% cherry juice twice a day for seven days experienced significantly less muscle pain after running relays.
Antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins give cherries their bright red color and give them natural anti-inflammation power. After a hard workout, cherries may work like common medicines in soothing inflamed muscles. Researchers say that runners may be able to forgo doses of Advil and Excedrin painkillers that can create long-term liver problems.
I have been drinking cherry juice for my muscles for the past two years and it works wonder. My run partner just told me about a free tart cherry book from www.tartcherryhealthreport.com It is a really good read about cherries
