Due to extensive work weeks and more stressful lives, getting a restful night sleep is a challenge for many. However, poor sleep and restless nights may be a thing of the past thanks to tart cherries.
Ongoing research suggests the tart cherry has a number of natural health benefits including reducing inflammation in the body and reducing pain due to gout and arthritis. In fact, no other fruit or vegetable has been found to date to have the natural anti-inflammatory properties of tart cherries. A reduction in these types of pain can certainly help with getting a good night’s rest, however the cherry has a lot more to offer.
How Does Melatonin Amounts Differ in Various Cherry Products
Cherries are also one of the few known sources of natural melatonin. Melatonin help improve the body’s natural sleep cycle and sleep patterns. In addition, many travelers have said tart cherries have also aided them with jet lag. In fact, Melatonin amounts differ from cherry to cherry product. Here is a overview of the amount of Melatonin in various cherry products:
Montmorency cherries 14ng/g
Balaton cherries 2ng/g
Cherry juice concentrate 124ng/ml
Cherry powder (used to make tart cherry capsules) 137ng/g
Cherry pie filling 11ng/g
If you are looking for a more restful night sleep start using cherry juice concentrate and tart cherry powder in a daily basis. One source of cherry juice concentrate is from Traverse Bay Farms www.traversebayfarms.com. The cherry juice is a crisp, yet tart drink that is very refreshing. However, if you are looking for convenience and a slightly higher amount of Melatonin, consider the tart cherry powder. A good source for tart cherry capsules is from Fruit Advantage www.fruitadvantage.com. The company is the leading brand and offers a complete selection of super fruit products including Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry capsules.
According to Eric Miller, a sales manager with a nationally known company, “I travel 3-4 days a week and I fly from the East coast to the West coast six times a month. I tried several different products to help my body adjust to the travel, Fruit Advantage tart cherry capsules (made with cherry powder) is the only product to work consistently in helping me fight jet lag.”
If you are looking for a more restful night sleep naturally, consider tart cherries and see how they work for you.
