A study by University of Michigan researchers revealed a cherry-enriched diet reduced inflammation markers by up to 50 per cent. Studies suggest the anti-oxidants in cherries may help reduce levels of nitric oxide, a compound associated with *osteo-arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (*auto-immune system). Sour cherries, the Morello variety, appear to have greater reported benefits for health.
Cherries are a natural source of melatonin, a neurohormone that has long been linked to sleep. So, according to the latest findings, to reduce jet lag or to get to sleep on the plane, have a serve of cherries (1 serve equals 1/2 cup dried cherries or 1 cup fresh cherries), one hour before your desired sleep time!
