Watermelon Juice is Healthy For You

  • I love drinking watermelon juice for so many reasons than I can count. One of the reasons is that watermelon is so rehydrating and cleansing.
  • Watermelon improves the function of the kidney due to the high water content and its mild diuretic effect. That is why you need frequent trips to the bathroom when consuming watermelons?
  • Watermelon is also very low in calories due to its high water content, yet offers essential nutrients and minerals.  It makes watermelon perfect as a weight loss fruit. It is very filling too and can easily replace a meal.
  • Also, watermelon relieves pain and muscle soreness and helps you when exercising.
  • Did you know that there is a substance in watermelon named Lycopenewhich is an important antioxidant? High intake of lycopene reduces the risk of heart disease, and osteoporosis, as well as protection from breast and prostate cancer.

The Best Watermelon To Buy

Dodge seedless watermelons.  I know it is convenient to grab the seedless watermelon but forget convenience and think health. 

The watermelon seeds are full of nutrients and minerals.  Include those when making your watermelon juice and reap the benefits.  Also, seedless watermelons mostly expensive compared to their seeded counterparts.

Always go for organic when you can.  The watermelon rind has the highest concentration of the minerals and nutrients. If you are planning to juice the skin which I suggest you do, go for organic.
