9Alleviate Pain and Soreness
As cherries contain many anti-inflammatory properties, they can help alleviate inflammation causing pains or aches. This is especially true after doing exercises or physical activities. Also, antioxidants in cherries can attack free radicals in the body, thus alleviating painful sores in your muscles. However, keep in mind that it might take a few weeks to get the effects. So, if you want quick relief, it is better to go for OTC or prescription medications or other options such as cold press, cold bath, or herb remedies. [9]
