How Tart Cherry Juice Increases the Quality of Your Sleep Time

Along with providing the fruit’s bright red color, the antioxidant compounds in tart cherries — called anthocyanins — have been specifically linked to high antioxidant capacity and reduced inflammation, at levels comparable to some well-known pain medications. Michigan researchers had previously shown that a cherry-enriched diet not only reduce overall body inflammation, but also reduce inflammation in key areas (belly fat, heart) known to affect heart disease risk in the obese. “Chronic inflammation is a whole body condition that can affect overall health, especially when it comes to the heart,” said Mitch Seymour, PhD, at the University of Michigan.

However, reducing inflammation is not the only health benefit of tart cherries. The evidence is now overwhelming that cherry-enriched diets also improve sleep. In fact, tart cherry juice was found to help extend sleep time by 84 minutes among study participants, according to a recent pilot study published in American Journal of Therapeutics.

Natural remedies for sleep disturbances range from those that are well-researched and backed by a scientific results to the old “wives tales” your family has handed down from generation to generation. Sometimes, these two ends of the spectrum meet and science is able to prove what those old wives have known all along: just because a remedy has been handed down doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.
