What really inspires me is watching people make simple changes in their lives that improve mood, energy level, and love for life. Eastern holistic nutrition, choosing what we eat based on what our particular bodies need at that time, is such a helpful tool.
Watermelon is lower in calories than you’d probably guess. Not bad for a refreshing, cooling, sweet treat.
You’ll also get 40 percent of your needed daily vitamin C, and almost 40 percent of vitamin A. Another wonderful nutrient in watermelon is part of its cheery red color. Lycopene is a carotene, a red pigment, that also happens to be a powerful antioxidant.
This delicious fruit is also 90 percent water, so it’s a great food if you’re not a big water drinker. And it contains electrolytes as well, for that extra boost of hydration.
Oh, and you can also dice it up and put it in the blender for a tasty drink (you don’t even have to add water).
