With the warm spring weather fast approaching I wanted to share some great information about our cherry juice concentrate. Not only is it packed with powerful antioxidants that can:
Helps to maintain healthy joints
Soothe sore muscles due to physical exercise
Maintain healthy sleep patterns
It’s an excellent first choice drink to enjoy with breakfast, lunch or dinner. To paraphrase the Dr. Oz show, where an attendee of the show mentioned this about tart cherry juice “it’s a combination of both sweet and taste”. That’s a excellent description of this one-of-a-kind fruity drink. Not only will it satisfy your thirst, it also satisfy the health concerns for your body. In fact a study published in October of 2011, from the School of Life Sciences, Northumbria University reported how the melatonin levels in
cherry juice helped to maintain healthy sleep.
According to the published findings, the aim of the research was to inquire if the ingestion of tart cherry juice concentrate would help with sleep quality.
The method used for the study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled group that included 20 volunteers. During a 7-day period the participants consumed either the actual cherry juice concentrate or a placebo. Each was asked to maintain a
sleep quality recording of their experience and also provide a urine sample to determine the amount of melatonin being excreted from the body.
The results of the test indicated the total melatonin level was significantly elevated in the cherry juice group, while no evaluated amount was recorded in the placebo group. In addition, the cherry group also experienced increased time in bed with improved total sleep time and sleep efficiency.
The conclusion of the testing suggests the consumption of tart cherry juice concentrate is an excellent way to maintain healthy sleep patterns in healthy men and women.
So the next time you’re not as sleepy as you should be reach for a glass of tart cherry juice. Check out this video to learn how to mix Traverse Bay Farms Cherry Juice.
