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:
As a natural diuretic food, watermelon increases urination and detox the system by flushing toxins from the body. Watermelons are good for
- weight loss,
- high blood pressure,
- PMS symptoms, such as bloating and water retention.
Watermelon is a good source of
— Vitamin C, beta-carotene and vitamin A to:
- boost your immune system,
- lower cancer risk,
- reduce inflammation,
- prevent heart attack;
- to reduce inflammation and
- improve eye site;
– Lycopene
- to protect from sun burn,
- reduce skin cancer risk,
- prevent heart disease;
–B1 to
- produce more energy;
– B6 to
- improve mood and memory;
- reduce bloating and breast pain – PMS symptoms;
–B6 and Magnesium to

– Potassium to help
- reduce blemishes, dark circles around the eyes and
- fatigue,
- lower blood pressure,

Don’t forget that you can use the watermelon juice as a watermelon facial beauty remedy to rejuvenate and nourish your skin and face wrikles.
Let us incorporate more watermelons into our diet if we want to feel and look fabulous.
Bon Appetit!
Breathe, smile and be happy.

I have noticed that when I eat a lot of watermelon I feel really good. There was one summer when I ate mostly watermelon for the whole summer and it was great. Watermelon is the best thing to eat when you are thirsty. I knew about the lycopene that makes tomato, water melon and red grapefruit red.

I whole heartedly agree. A watermelon juice day is a great way to clear and clean up digestive issues as well. Enjoying your blog.

I agree with this article. I am into fruits and vegetables lately and I have been feeling good since I use to practice it. And surely, this watermelon thing will be my next priority.

A lot of people that stumble across the fact that they have High Blood Pressure, do not realise that there are alternatives to medication. My mom has a blood presser since 3 years. She has to take some tablates regularly! I will suggest her to take some tips from here. I am sure, it will help to her! Thank you very much for giving very diamagnetic tips to us.

Honestly there are a lot of good benefits about watermelon – but that still doesn’t make it taste good. I always get a sick feeling after/during the time that I eat it…maybe it’s just the texture or something, but I can’t stand it!

My mother mentioned the other day about when she was young that people used the rind of the watermelon for there face. I am curios and have to find a facial care remedy that uses watermelon. Watermelon always makes me feel great when I eat it.
