I just LOVE summer ☀️and I LOVE watermelon🍉! This juicy fruit is not only delicious but has been used as a Chinese herbal remedy for centuries. It's used to treat what we call "Summer heat" 😓and has also been getting some attention in several studies in the Western paradigm. Its cooling and hydrating effects are used to detoxify the body, heal sores, moisten dry mouth, quench thirst, and relieve the irritability caused by summer heat. Watermelon contains an array of important vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B-6, potassium, and beta-carotene. Current research shows that citrulline in watermelons has beneficial effects on the heart, dilating the blood vessels and improving blood flow, treating high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and supporting the immune system! ❤️🍉
