Cherry juice 'can soothe muscle pain'22 June 2006 Drinking cherry juice could be one way to ease muscle pain caused by exercise, a new study claims. Research by scientists at the University of Vermont suggests that pain from activities such as hill-walking or weight-lifting, or any exercise not attempted before, can be reduced by the right liquid beverage. The findings, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, come from an experiment in which some volunteers drank cherry juice mixed with apple juice twice a day for three days before exercise and for four days after, while others drank a dummy mixture. The 14 volunteers were then asked to rate their own muscle soreness on a scale between one and 10. Average pain scores were 3.2 for those drinking the dummy blend, but only 2.4 for those given cherry juice. Muscle strength also showed signs of improvement after 96 hours for those who had taken the cherry mixture. The nutritional benefits of cherry juice have been linked to the presence of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in the fruit, which can help to soothe strained muscles. Related links
