A Glass of Cherry Juice for a Good Night’s Rest
There are many purported health benefits of the cherry fruit, thanks to its abundance of vital nutrients. Among the many benefits, cherries have been purported to promote sleep and improve sleep disorders. Inadequate sleep can lead to many unwarranted chronic health conditions and issues. Cherries naturally contain significant amounts of melatonin, a chemical linked in regulating the body’s circadian rhythm. Studies have found promising results in improvements of sleeping patterns, total sleep time, decreased number of awakenings, and treating insomnia linked to the supplementation of dietary melatonin through cherry juice. While the mechanism of effects remains unclear, subjective and objective data report many sleep related improvements with the supplementation of cherry juice. Those looking to alleviate insomnia and other sleep related issues, may find it beneficial to incorporate cherry juice into their diet.
