Top 3 Watermelon Benefits
Watermelon Juice Benefits
Watermelon has so many amazing health benefits and it’s one of my favorite things to snack on, especially on a hot summer day! You can slice it, melon ball it, cube it or juice it. No matter which way you have it, it’s delicious, hydrating, fat-free and easy on your liver! Let’s check out a few of my favorite highlights below.
Watermelon is Great Pre/Post Workout
Watermelon is high in potassium which is a mineral that can help reduce muscular cramping while working out. It’s high water content (about 92%) will also keep you hydrated throughout your workout. You can even bring a stainless steel water bottle filled with freshly juiced watermelon to sip on during your sweat sesh! This refreshing fruit is also high in antioxidants and amino acids which can improve your performance at the gym. Snacking on watermelon post-workout can have it’s benefits too as it can help prevent sore muscles.
Watermelon is high in vitamin A which keeps your eyes healthy. Just 1 medium slice contains about 9-11% of your recommended dose of vitamin A per day!
Watermelon Contains Lycopene
Ever wonder where the beautiful pinkish-red color comes from in watermelon? It’s from an antioxidant called lycopene, also present in tomatoes. However watermelon has more of this nutrient than any of fruit or veggie – even tomatoes! Why should you care? It may decrease your chances of cancer and diabetes when combined with a healthy lifestyle. This wonderful antioxidant may also support your heart!
Watermelon is Heart Healthy
Speaking of heart, watermelon contains another amino acid called citrulline. This nutrient helps blood flow through your body and can also lower your blood pressure, and decrease your chances of a heart attack. Eating a diet low in saturated fats, committing to daily movement and eliminating cigarettes from your life are also other ways to keep your heart healthy.
Overall, watermelon is both yummy, nutrient dense and can help you lead a healthier lifestyle + feel your best every day! You can add it to salads, smoothies, pack it for snacks and even freeze it into small melon balls for refreshing coolers! I hope you continue to enjoy it just as much as I do 🙂

Yeah, like a #FoodTruckBoat on the Great Lakes near Chicago or maybe a #FoodTruck boat on the Mississippi could go a lot of places. The novelty alone would be a big draw. Leela Nickola Kloman
