If you’re exercising (and I hope you are) then you need to fuel that exercise with good nutrition before and after your workout. May is National Runners Month — but even if you don’t run you will benefit from learning how to optimize your performance (and maximize health benefits) from fueling well. The Cherry Marketing Institute is sponsoring a special #MeFirst Twitter party with sports nutritionist (and ultra marathoner) Rebecca Scritchfield, RD (that’s me!) on Monday, May 16 at 8:30 p.m. EST to talk about how your body’s “fuel” plays a key role in managing post-exercise muscle pain and soreness – especially anti-inflammatory foods,...

A bottle of red wine, right? Nope, but another red drink might do the trick. Researchers found that adults who drank eight ounces of tart cherry juice every morning and evening for two weeks had a significant drop in insomnia during those two weeks. The reason is the antioxidant melatonin in cherry juice. It is produced naturally by the body, and it helps make you sleepy at night and awake during the day.

It seems this red, tasty fruit is packed with major antioxidant power that helps with weight loss--specifically shedding the fat around the stomach--according to research from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center.The lead scientist of the study believes the antioxidant anthocyanins in tart cherries is responsible for turning on a fat-burning enzyme.The animal study also found that tart cherries lower the risk factors for heart disease as well as reduce cholesterol and inflammation.Additionally, a 2007 study conducted at the University of Granada in Spain found that melatonin--another antioxidant found in cherries--plays a role in delaying the effects of aging because it neutral...

This time, the news centers on cherries. A new study says cherries are a “super fruit” and “may reduce factors associated with heart disease and diabetes.” I think news like this is helpful if you take it with a grain of salt. For example, incorporating cherries can probably be helpful if you also eat a healthy diet and exercise.

Yes, I said tart cherries. This subject matter has been popping up frequently over the last few weeks and I decided to go for it this morning and focus on that bright red, yummy tart cherry. It seems that these tiny little pieces of fruit have some real big health benefits for diabetes and heart disease. Rats that received whole tart cherry powder mixed into a high-fat diet didn’t gain as much weight or build up as much body fat as rats that didn’t receive cherries. And their blood showed much lower levels of molecules that indicate the kind of inflammation that has been linked to heart disease and diabetes. In addition, they had significantly lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides than the other rats. Where can you find tart cherries? They are frequ...

Eating those sweet morsels of goodness on a hot summer's day is about as perfect as it gets. If you love cherries as much as me, there's good news -- They're great for you, especially your heart. There's a downside to this news though -- Sour cherries are better for you than those of the sweet variety. Tart cherries are associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, more so than sweet cherries like Bing cherries. The reason that tart cherries are more beneficial than sweet ones if that tart cherries have more antioxidants, and we all know antioxidants are great for whatever ails you.I'm not a fan of any type of tart fruit and can't see myself buying them for the ant...
