TART CHERRY JUICE FOR SLEEP AND MOOD

Love tart cherries? I sure do! I love 'em not only for their sweet tangy taste but also for their amazing health benefits.

Tart cherries increase the availability of the amino acid, tryptophan which is a precursor to both the feel-good neurotransmitters, serotonin as well as the sleep-inducing hormone, melatonin.

Studies have shown that because of its high content of tryptophan, it is likely responsible for the improvement in insomnia and mood.

It is a great evening "treat" to help wind down, relax, improve mood and get sleepy. Perfect to calm kids before bed!

Participants in a 2018 study who drank 8 oz of tart cherry juice 1-2 hours before bed showed an average increase of 85 minutes of sleep/ night!

To find high-quality pure dark tart cherry juice visit your local health food store. Not all cherry juice is made the same! Make sure the juice is made from tart cherries and has no added sweeteners or liquid.

Bottoms up!
