3.Unclear on Inflammation
Evidence that cherries fight inflammation is mixed. Researchers reviewed 16 studies to get an answer. Eleven showed that eating cherries or cherry products lowered signs of inflammation. But other studies don’t find that benefit. It’s worth noting that many of these studies include very few people. Proof of a health benefit requires large groups of people.
4.Potential Workout Buddy
Some studies say tart cherry juice helps combat muscle damage from exercise. One showed that when marathon runners drank the stuff for a few days pre- and post-race, they recovered from the long haul better. Another study found that when runners drank tart cherry juice twice a day for a week before a long race, they had less pain from running. The drink might ease muscle damage and pain from tough exercise.
