tart cherries are one of the few foods with naturally occurring melatonin, the hormone that tells your body it is bedtime. in one clinical trial, people who drank tart cherry juice slept longer and more soundly. so a bowl of cherries after dinner counts as dessert and a wind down, and it pairs beautifully with your eight hours. sweet ones for snacking, tart ones for sleeping.

taylor swift and travis kelce donated 26 million dollars to 20 charities ahead of their wedding, including nine food banks and three children's hospitals. starting the marriage with a gift to everyone else is a love language.

send this to a friend. that's how the club grows.

health is hot.
