Does drinking fruit juice improve exercise and reduce inflammation?
This study tests whether drinking two 8-ounce glasses of fruit juice every day for two weeks can help your exercise capacity and lower inflammation (measured by a blood test called CRP). You must have mildly elevated CRP but be otherwise healthy and able to do simple physical tests like standing from a chair and walking.

This study tests whether taking ginger can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress (cell damage) in people with coronary artery disease. It may help improve heart health by lowering harmful chemicals in the blood.
This study looks at how physical activity affects oxidative stress and inflammation in older adults. If you join, your routine blood test will be used to measure these markers, helping researchers understand how aging relates to these processes.
This trial studies how healthy adults process fruit juice after a meal. Researchers want to learn how their blood sugar and other markers change after drinking juice.
This study tests whether drinking red grape juice every day for a period can improve metabolism in men with coronary artery disease (blocked or narrowed heart arteries). If you have heart disease and are not diabetic, this could be a simple dietary addition to support your heart health.
This study tests whether eating avocado instead of refined carbohydrate foods (like white bread and sugary snacks) can reduce inflammation markers in your blood. If you have some signs of inflammation and extra weight around your middle, this might help researchers understand if avocado is a helpful dietary change.
