Cherries for Pain Relief



Cherries are summertime treat, but they can also help relieve the aches and pains that occur with age, or prevent them altogether. Not only are they among the top 10 foods in antioxidant activity, they’re also powerful anti-inflammatories (particularly the sour variety). In fact, a study at Michigan State University found that eating tart cherries could relieve inflammatory pain as capably as aspirin or ibuprofen, but with less potential irritation. In addition, at just 51 calories per cup, cherries are harmless to your beltline, and they go a long way toward satisfying your daily requirements of five servings of fruits and vegetables.
