Oregon’s Hood to Coast Relay race was more than just an exercise in, well, exercise last year.
An Oregon Health and Science University sports medicine physician used runners in the annual Mount Hood-to-Seaside event as a sort of rolling laboratory, and his discovery could eventually change the dietary habits of athletes everywhere.
His discovery? The juice of tart cherries might provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties comparable to ibuprofen and other over-the-counter pain medications, according to researcher Kerry Kuehl, OHSU associate professor of medicine.

Dr. Kuehl’s study was recently published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, and is available online at www.jissn.com/content/7/1/17 .
The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, or ORAC scale is used to measure antioxidant powers and CHERRish juices have received ORAC’s highest rating from the Brunswick Laboratory. This means that they are the best juices out there to ensure you receive your daily amount of antioxidants. CHERRish Juice is also high in anti-inflammatory properties, and is certified Kosher.
