Meta-analysis finds tart cherry juice effective exercise recovery aid Research suggests tart cherry juice enhances recovery and attenuates symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), likely a result of the potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the cherry. Now, a new meta-analysis that documents the recovery benefits of tart cherry juice is adding support to the growing research.
A recent meta-analysis published in the
International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that tart cherry supplementation has a significant effect on improving the recovery of muscle strength and reducing reported muscle soreness after exercise.
The supplementation referenced is in the form of Montmorency tart cherry juice, powder or tablets.

Meanwhile, scientists have harped on the need for healthy eating during Yuletide because stress, sadness and over-indulgence during the festive season could be deadly.
