Watermelon secret!


Hello my readers! I now the SM crew is laying low lately but we are in vacation a lill bit :))). OK some of us :D ! BUT! Our lovely nutritionist Andrea Kirsch did her homework :D and I'm great full cuz she wrote a secret about watermelons which I personally never new! I want to share with you to...



In this heat, I think, watermelon is the fruit which we consume the most and we can find at every market. It is good to eat, but do not exaggerate with the quantity. Two slices of watermelon between meals or on the empty stomach in the morning is beneficial for the entire body (as long as it is consumed in a healthy diet). Watermelon brings a lot of benefits to the body.

Watermelon and honeydew melon contains a little amount of sodium and the same quantity of potassium. This quantity is extremely important in preventing/ dissolving kidney stones and reducing the acid in the blood. The water concentration is 92% and has diuretic properties which helps the detoxification process.
















Watermelon plays an important role! They can be used for various infections in the body such as joints inflammation. Thus, eating watermelon helps to relieve pain caused by osteoarthritis and allows greater flexibility of the limbs.

Watermelon contains a high level of antioxidants (lycopene), which makes this fruit to protect the blood vessels and prevents arterial wall thickening.

The same antioxidants mixed with vitamins plays an active role in the prevention of many types of cancer including breast, prostate, lung or the cervix. A study conducted in China in 2009 shows that women who frequently consume watermelon have less risk of contracting breast cancer due to antioxidants and compounds which destroys the cancer cell.



Let's eat this wonderful fruit until it’s in season! Enjoy!
