Latest studies show that at least one in four women is struggling with arthritis,
gout or chronic headaches. If you’re one of them, a daily bowl of cherries
could ease your ache, without the stomach upset so often triggered by today’s
painkillers, say researchers at East Lansing ’s Michigan State University . Their
research reveals that anthocyanins, the compounds that give cherries their
brilliant red color, are anti-inflammatories 10 times stronger than ibuprofen and
aspirin. “Anthocyanins help shut down the powerful enzymes that kick-start
tissue inflammation, so they can prevent, as well as treat, many different kinds
of pain,” explains Muraleedharan Nair, Ph.D., professor of food science at
Michigan State University . His advice: Enjoy 20 cherries (fresh, frozen or
dried) daily, then continue until your pain disappears.
