Tart cherries can work as an anti-inflammatory agent, Bonci says. In her work consulting with sports teams, she often recommends that athletes drink tart cherry juice to reduce inflammation from vigorous training.
And research backs up her suggestion: In the May 2013 issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, a scientific review of tart cherries that involved athletes found that consuming the juice may enhance recovery of muscle function, inhibit the inflammation and oxidative stress caused by exercise, and lessen pain.
Tart cherries may also help minimize the pain of osteoarthritis and gout, another form of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in your blood, according to a study in the November 2014 issue of Journal of Functional Foods. Researchers credit the substances known as anthocyanins in the cherries, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
