![]() Summertime, Summertime, Sun & Fun Summertime! July 4th is just around the corner and what better way to start of the mid-summer fun festivities than to slice up a BIG JUICY WATERMELON. It is one of the many staples in our fridge for summertime and packs a whopping amount of nutritional benefits both inside and out. Here are just some of the many cool thing we get from watermelons: Inner nutrition 93% water, 0% fat Rich in electrolytes (sodium & potassium) Rich in iron High in fiber Loaded with antioxidant rich vitamins A, B6, & C (to fight free radicals) Higher concentrations of lycopene than any other fruit/veggie & is associated with a decrease risk of prostate & cervical cancer. Pulp helps to rid body of toxins (eat 2 cups 1st thing in a.m. to help with digestion) Outer Benefits cooling mild exfoliating properties anti-inflammatory to help with puffiness/ sunburns/ angry blemishes anti-bacterial to help heal blemishes lycopene has skin protecting properties helps with tightening, toning, & skin elasticity antioxidant benefits to repair & restore nutrition to skin cells hydrating to help retain a balanced moisture level Now that you know all the benefits of WATERMELON, go pick one up at your local grocery store or farmer's market, slice it up and have a few bites or more! Then if your face has seen too much of the sun lately call me for a yummy CHILLIN' MELON SUN REPAIR treatment to help with any damage incurred. Jump over to my MONTHLY SPECIALS page and view the details of this wonderful watermelon cooldown. =) Be Bella! Christy This is your new blog post.
