My husband and I have been eating 20 cherries a day and found it does help. Some of my friends tried and didn’t think it helped until after they stopped eating them. I have talked to my Dr and he agrees that it can help. I have heard of Sports Drs that recommend Tart Cherry Juice. Cherries are on the dirty dozen list and I buy Orgainic. I have a buying group of friends which brings the price down. Bulk buying is cheaper than buying the small packages in the store and much better for the environment. Just keep extra cherries in the refrigerator or freezer.
They are great in muffins, cookies, salads, berry crisps, in granola and just by themselves as a treat. For those that eat chocolate, eat them together for a great treat.

In the past I have eaten cherries for pain relief and it really worked for me!
