Do you like watermelons?

If you live in a climate with high humidity, you should try to eat more watermelons – they can make a delicious breakfast or snack to cool you off.

As a Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor, I sometimes recommend my clients a one-day water melon detox weight loss diet, which consists of eating only water melons and rye bread.

There are at least 20 fantastic reasons for you to consider eating watermelons on a regular basis:
