Guest guest Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Tart cherries help to lower inflammation (in rats).Good news for me, since I've been essentially addicted to tart cherriessince the fall. http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/007134.htmlThere's more evidence of tart cherries' powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, according to a new study presented by a team of Michigan researchers today at the Experimental Biology annual meeting. Using a "whole food" approach, researchers found that a cherry-enriched diet not only reduced overall body inflammation, but also reduced inflammation at key sites (belly fat, heart) known to affect heart disease risk in obese, at-risk rats....This new study is the latest linking cherries to protection against heart disease and inflammation. Researchers believe it's the anthocyanins – powerful antioxidant compounds in cherries – also responsible for the fruit's bright red color, that link cherries to reduced inflammation, even inflammation related to muscle recovery post-exercise....Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
