Cherry consumption reduced gout-related joint discomfort within days, according to a study of 29 trials. Cherry extract and fresh cherry eating reduced gout attacks by 35% two days after consumption, according to another study.
Sleep Melatonin, found in cherries, regulates your circadian rhythm. As the day ends, your brain produces melatonin to encourage sleep. Melatonin decreases in the morning to help you wake up.
Melatonin levels naturally fall with age. Tart cherry juice enhanced melatonin levels, enhancing sleep quality and duration in one trial.
