with refreshing melon sips

Protects the heart

Enjoying juicy melon daily can lower cholesterol by up to 63% within one month, according to a study in the journal Nutrition Research. Credit goes to two plant compounds (lycopene and citrulline) that prevent plaque buildup and help widen blood vessels. In a separate study, fruits like this were found to lower heart disease risk by 40%.

Banishes bloat

Refreshing melon juice is twice as effective as plain water at hydrating the body, report U.K. researchers. The reason: The fruits’ rich stores of electrolytes (including potassium and magnesium) help balance fluid levels within cells, prompting the release of excess water for an instantly slimming effect.

Sun-proofs the skin

The lycopene in melons increases the ability of skin cells to defend against damaging UV rays, plus helps heal damaged tissue to accelerate recovery if the skin does burn. German researchers suggest that, all told, these effects can slash sunburn risk by more than a third.
