Speed up Recovery
Eating cherries after workouts can speed up your recovery and relieve exercise-induced inflammation, damage, or muscle pain. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds are the main factors responsible for those benefits. While both varieties can help, tart cherries are more effective in preventing the loss of strength in professional athletes, such as marathon runners and cyclists. What’s more, some cherry products such as powder or juice would even improve the overall exercise performance, both in athletes and non-athletes. [6]
