Even the healthiest person knows that with an active lifestyle full of rigorous activity and exercise come inevitable muscle pains. Whether you're an experienced marathon runner, or an off and on jogger, regular exercise can result in both a healthier body and sore muscles.
The good news is that significantly relieving those muscles pains may be as easy as enjoying the delicious taste of tart cherries.
Recent research suggests that the anti-inflammatory properties found in tart cherries may help significantly reduce the amount of muscle pain suffered post-exercise. This benefit is likely due to the natural antioxidant compounds found in cherries, called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are primarily the plant colorants that give cherries their red color, but also act as powerful antioxidants. More research is required to verify these findings, but tart cherries do provide an excellent source of carbohydrates for those working out intensely.
Muscle recovery and pain management starts before exercise, not after it. This is why consuming tart cherries for pain relief before exercising may be an advantageous decision.
