Tart Cherries – A Natural Sleep Aid

Tart Cherries – A Natural Sleep Aid

07/16/07

Researchers are discovering that there is much more to tart cherries than just their great taste. They are packed with a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin B6, beta-carotene, thiamine, phosphorus, iron, calcium, and potassium. They are also rich in antioxidants, anthocyanins, and melatonin. These helps maintain a healthy body and fight the effects of aging.

Melatonin levels vary throughout the day, reaching a peak in the evening hours, causing sleepiness. As we grow older, the level of melatonin decreases, which likely explains why elderly people have trouble sleeping.

A couple of tablespoons of tart cherry concentrate can turn a restless night into a night of restful sleep. But a good night’s sleep isn’t the only benefit…

Anti-Inflammatory
Tart cherries are rich in anthocyanins, which contain natural anti-inflammatory properties to help relieve joint pain due to physical activity, as well as pain and swelling associated with arthritis and gout. Studies have shown that anthocyanins effectively inhibit COX enzymes. These enzymes speed up the body’s production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which cause irritation to the nerve endings.

All Cherries Are Not Equal
While all cherries make a healthy snack, the Montmorency Tart Cherry is the most nutritious and also has a low glycemic index, making it a great choice for diabetics.

Be well,
