A new meta-analysis found that tart cherry concentrate significantly improved endurance exercise performance when consumed for seven days to 1.5 hours before cycling, swimming or running. The study pooled results from 10 previously published studies and concluded that tart cherries improved performance in endurance-trained individuals.
A pilot study found that Montmorency tart cherry juice reduced systolic blood pressure and lowered insulin levels in adults with metabolic syndrome. The study also showed improvements in arterial stiffness after consumption of the juice.
A randomized-controlled clinical trial found that Montmorency tart cherry juice helped lower systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol in older adults by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers. The participants also showed increased DNA repair activity, suggesting potential health benefits for heart health.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 studies found that people with the highest anthocyanin intake were 9% less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease. Anthocyanins have also been linked to improved risk factors for heart disease, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
A human trial and laboratory study found that Montmorency tart cherries helped to positively impact the gut microbiome, primarily measured by an increase in good bacteria. The results suggest that individuals consuming a more plant-based diet may have a mix of gut bacteria that responds more positively to tart cherry consumption.
A new study found that mango consumption lowered systolic blood pressure and reduced breath methane levels in healthy postmenopausal women. The researchers believe the polyphenols in mangos may be responsible for these favorable effects.
A new study suggests that eating mangos may be more effective than taking a comparable amount of fiber in relieving constipation. The research found that mango polyphenols helped improve gut health by reducing markers of inflammation and changing the microbiome.
A 12-week randomized controlled trial found that Montmorency tart cherry juice reduced systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol in older adults, potentially helping to maintain heart health. The study suggests that the unique nutrient content of Montmorency tart cherries may contribute to these benefits.
A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that introducing pureed pork as a complementary food to formula-fed infants can support early growth and development. The research suggests that meat-based diets may be beneficial for linear growth, with no increased risk of overweight at 12 months of age.
A pilot study found Montmorency tart cherry juice significantly extended sleep time among senior insomniacs by 84 minutes. The study also showed reduced plasma levels of kynurenine with increased tryptophan levels, and inhibition of PGE2, a biomarker of inflammation.
A new study published in Current Developments in Nutrition found that lean pork as part of a weight-loss diet can lead to significant weight loss, improved physical function, and better adherence to the diet among obese women. Both groups experienced improvements in functional capacity at six months, with African American women experie...

Spices and herbs have been shown to reduce sodium intake by up to 966mg/day, increase satiety, and enhance energy metabolism. They also show promise in improving insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health. A call to action is issued to bring flavor to the forefront of public health conversations.
A new research study will analyze how changes in diet and lifestyle affect long-term wellness and contribute to healthy aging. The Stanford Prevention Research Center will lead the study, which aims to identify lifestyle and environmental factors that help people maintain their health and wellness as they age.
The majority of adults worldwide are falling short of the recommended five servings (400 grams) per day, with a significant shortfall found in people's diets globally. Eating foods rich in phytonutrients may provide health benefits, including promoting eye and bone health.
