Tart cherry juice

Tart cherry juice provides numerous health advantages. For starters, it contains trace levels of a few essential elements, such as magnesium and phosphorus. It's also a good source of potassium. An 8-ounce (240-milliliter) portion contains 17% of a woman's daily potassium need and 13% of a man's daily potassium requirement. It also contains a lot of antioxidants, like anthocyanins and flavonols. Tart cherry juice is also known to increase tiredness, and its role in alleviating insomnia has been researched. For these reasons, consuming sour cherry juice before bedtime may help you sleep better.

The high levels of melatonin in sour cherry juice contribute to its sleep-promoting properties. Adults with insomnia drank 8 ounces (240 ml) of tart cherry juice twice a day for two weeks in a small trial. When compared to when they did not drink the juice, they slept 84 minutes longer and reported higher sleep quality. Although these findings are encouraging, more research is needed to validate tart cherry juice's role in enhancing sleep and preventing insomnia. Nonetheless, if you have trouble falling or staying asleep at night, consider sipping some acidic cherry juice before bed.
