Watermelon not only tastes great, but it’s good
for you too.
Sore Muscles
Did you know
watermelon can help relieve sore muscles? Try juicing some watermelon before
your workout. Watermelon contains 1-citrulline, an amino acid that helps
protect muscles and prevent muscle pain.
Reduce High Blood Pressure
Eating watermelon
has been shown to reduce high blood pressure because the citrulline converts into nitric oxide. This is essential
in keeping blood vessels relaxed, allowing blood to flow freely.
Skin
The biggest
benefit of watermelon is what it does for your skin. It prevents aging, moisturizes, and is a natural toner.
Watermelon also removes excess oil on the skin, and can cure acne and relieve
sunburn!
Here is a simple
DIY recipe for a watermelon toner to help your skin:
Ingredients:
Watermelon
Witch Hazel
Distilled Water
Container to
store
Steps:
1. Blend the
watermelon (seeds and all) in a blender or mixer.
2. Add the
watermelon to the container for storage and mix in a teaspoon each of witch
hazel and distilled water.
3. Apply the
toner to clean skin. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two days.
Whether you eat it or tone with it, enjoy your watermelon!
