Finally summer. If only it was not so hot.
Thanks to nature we have one of the tastiest fruits available in summer: watermelon.
Their water content of 90% makes them the best thirst quencher among the fruits, it is also low in fat and low in calories.
But that’s not the only advantage:
It contributes to the drainage of the body, helping to expel toxins and pollutants from the body faster, and to detoxify our kidneys and bladder.
According to a study by the University of Florida, taking watermelon over a period of 6 weeks has a hypotensive effect. It owes this to a contained amino acid, which dilates the vessels, allowing the blood to circulate better.

In addition, the watermelon is to contribute to muscle relaxation after physical efforts and helps us with digestive problems, such as constipation, as it has a laxative effect.
On Friday, as always, we will publish a delicious and healthy recipe in our healthy recipes category.
