A recent British study revealed that eating a specific fruit juice twice a day may help to reduce the symptoms of ulcerative colitis significantly.

The study conducted by researchers from the Hertfordshere and Central Lanxire universities is the first of its kind in terms of size and focus on humans.

The results showed that patients who consumed 130 ml of diluted cherry juice twice a day for six weeks, witnessed a decrease of 40% in the levels of razy Calproticin, which is a major indication of bowel inflammation. The participants also reported 9% improvement in their general health quality, which is a positive connotation of patients who suffer from this chronic condition.

The researchers attribute these benefits to the containment of the Montmorency sour cherry juice to the high concentrations of anti -inflammatory anti -inflammatory compounds, as every 30 ml of concentrated juice provides the equivalent of eating 100 whole cherries.

Although the juice is not a substitute for traditional drugs such as anti -inflammatory and steroids, it may become a dietary supplement in a comprehensive treatment plan.
