Surprising Solution to Sleeplessness

Many seniors experience sleep deprivation attributed to insomnia, or the inability to return to sleep after waking. Fortunately, there is a surprising, non-pharmaceutical solution to insomnia: Tart Montmorency cherry juice. Ingested daily, two 8-ounce glasses can increase sleep significantly. Researchers at Louisiana State University found that the sleep deprived slept an hour and a half longer every night by simply drinking the cherry juice, a natural source of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin. Researchers noted that cherry juice may be a better, safer alternative for seniors than prescription drugs, which can increase the falls and fractures. Cherry juice also helps reduce arthritis pain, gout, and muscle pain.
