WATERMELON IS LIKE HEAVEN ON A HOT DAY!

 HELLO SUMMER, HELLO WATERMELON!

Watermelon is by far, one of the most powerful, body healing fruits out there! The amazing health benefits of watermelon cover everything from your brain all the way to the cells in your feet. So, basically from the top of your head to the souls of your feet, they are taken care of by this amazing fruit! I was surprised to find out that watermelon is in the family of lemons, because of the sweet/sour differences. None the less, watermelon is high up there on the alkaline list. Watermelons nutrients benefit many degenerative diseases. Acid foods trigger the spread of cancer and stimulate the growth of a diabetes reaction. On the other hand, the alkaline presence in watermelon isolates the reaction of these diseases and prevents the spread of the disease. I would have to say, I would much rather be eating the delicious and juicy watermelon than taking prescribed medication that leads to other health problems. It's a slippery slope out there. Eat a wealth of amazing and healing foods, or eat a wealth of sickly acidic disease causing foods, and take medication to mask the sickness, that leads to more sickness.

Watermelons are made up of 92% pure alkaline water, which makes them safe for the stomach and a good alternative drink. Some foods are fun to eat, and watermelon is definitely one of them. That triangular wedge of bright red, sweet juiciness forbids us to take life too seriously and shouts, "SUMMER!!!" As if that weren't enough, watermelon is packed full of nutrition, hydrates and is very low fat. While many of us think of watermelon as a great snack option, when you add up its nutritive value, you might consider making this delicious fruit a bigger
asset in your daily meals.

Watermelon has many healing benefits. Some of them include reducing the risk of
 cervical cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and certain other types of cancers. It also strengthens the immunity and helps lessen the severity of asthma. Watermelon aids in weight loss as well as it helps the metabolism work efficiently. It can prevent the formation of kidney stones, as well.  Being rich in carotenoids, watermelon assists in lowering high blood pressure. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body and reduces uric acid concentration in the blood.

All in all, I would give watermelon 2 thumbs up, and it's ok to eat too much! The only thing that eating too much will do is clean out all of the build up of toxins in your body. That is a win-win in my book. I have read that there are many more health benefits, I just wrote some of the top ones. I hope you go and get some watermelon real soon. I bought 2 yesterday, because they were on sale. I know how fast it goes, and if you need help knowing if they are ripe here's a tip: If you see a big round or oval yellow spot on a watermelon it is ready to eat and should be sweet and perfectly juicy. Have a great Summer!!!
