There’s no doubt that fruits and veggies are critical in helping all us “regular” people maintain healthy lifestyles.  We all remember mom telling us to eat our fruits and veggies and while the science around some fruits has gotten a little more specific than “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” the general theme remains the same: eat healthy to be healthy.  Still, there’s a class of of people who consume foods to push themselves beyond just healthy.  To elite athletes food is sometimes considered a high octane fuel mixture to power their athletic performance to the next level.  While the majority of us don’t fall into that category there’s a lot we can learn from them simply by following their examples as they consider foods highly functional.

For instance, did you know that over the last few years cheribundi Tru Cherry and Whey Cherry have fueled the engines of some pretty impressive teams that rose to the highest level of accomplishment in their respective sports.  To date cheribundi has been a part of the success formula for the 2009-2010 Stanley Cup Champions, 2 NCAA Football National Championship teams, 1 NCAA Basketball Champion and one Rugby World Cup finalist.

Whether you are the type of person who schedules time for a run every day or if you are simply looking to get some of that spring back in a sprung step there’s a little bit of goodness here to be learned.  Just by following the examples of some of the best athletes in the world and incorporating such a powerful fruit like the cherry into your diet, it’s all too likely you can accomplish just a little bit more, every day!
