For jet lag, pop a cherry

Sunday, 05 Jul, 2010 0

So what do you do for jet lag? Have you tried cherries?
 

“According to many experts, travelers can pack ‘the power of red’ into their carry-ons by choosing tart cherries, a ‘Super Fruit’ naturally rich in melatonin, to help fight jet lag,” says PRNewswire.
 

Cherries, known for their powerful antioxidant and phytonutrient profile, are linked to potential health benefits in numerous studies, the report says.
 

“They are one of the few known, researched food sources of melatonin, a potent antioxidant produced naturally by the body to help regulate biorhythm and natural sleep patterns,” says the site.
 

"Not only are they delicious, but they’re also super portable. Mix them with walnuts, another melatonin-rich food, and you’ve got a great trail mix that may help you sleep better and re-set your body clock, so you’re ready to go when you land," said Stephanie Michaels, a travel guru.
