10 Health Benefits of Tart Cherry Juice

Might Reduce Blood Pressure

Some studies [6] show that tart cherry juice is effective at modest reductions in blood pressure levels in humans. In a research, scientists evaluated fifteen hypertensive men’s vascular function given either 60ml of Montmorency cherry concentrate that was diluted with 100ml water or placebo.

The experiment participants who drank the cherry juice reduced their blood pressure as low as seven mmHg. According to previous studies, it’s evident that reducing blood pressure as little as 5 to 6mmHg proves to cause a 38% reduced risk of stroke and 23% reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
