Black Cherry Concentrate
You may be hearing a lot about cherry juice regarding relief if you're
one of the millions of people who suffer from the chronic pain of arthritis
or gout. New research has uncovered evidence that compounds in cherries
may help to relieve pain caused by this affliction and other forms of
arthritis in several important ways.
Although it has longed been believed that adopting a healthy diet and
lifestyle will help to combat the symptoms of gout, we are now beginning
to realize the many health benefits of cherry juice in addition to these
dietary changes. But, what is it exactly that makes cherry juice gout's
worst enemy?
For one thing, cherry juice has been shown to lower levels of uric acid
in the blood, which is one of the common causes of gout pain. The secret
to the benefits of cherry juice is a compound called anthocyanins,
which are the pigments that give cherries their bright red color and are
also believed to be the key to helping the body relieve inflammation.
Doctors and scientists believe that the anthocyanins in cherries is
what caused the decrease in blood urates and what causes cherry juice
to bring relief from gout pain. They also feel that consuming anthocyanins
on a regular basis may help lower heart attack and stroke risk, and are
even studying the benefits of cherry juice and how it may have direct
applications to the treatment and prevention of cancer.
Since the clinical research on cherry juice and gout relief therapy is
still in the early stages, there is no set "prescription" for
their use or consumption. However, it seems that the majority of people
benefit from consuming about two tablespoons of cherry juice concentrate
a day, or one to two servings of fresh or dried cherries. Just like with
any other type of treatment, however, different people will naturally
respond differently to cherries and the end results gained will most likely
be varied.
Cherry juice has been used around the world in the treatment of gout
for hundreds of years, but it is only recently that the mainstream media
has brought this information to light. While some people may feel a little
skeptical about the benefits of cherry juice in the treatment of gout,
arthritis and joint pain many more are finding that it is a wonderful
way to take control of their overall pain and get moving again.
