Really watermelon....
for me watermelon makes my stomach look like a bloated sea cow...and gassy
They actually say watermelon is one of the foods "not" to eat before a first date..due to it giving a lot of people gas..lol
However...watermelon is one of the lowest amount of carbs per weight gram and will keep you plenty hydrated...It's actually a old remedy people used for young kids when they were dehydrated...before Gatorade and pd-lite...ha
BUt like we said everyone's body is different and reacts differently to foods..
Thanks
You need to eat the watermelon on empthy stomac, 2 cups at each time.
Watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water by weight.[8] As with many other fruits, it is a source of vitamin C.
Notable is the inner rind of the watermelon, which is usually a light green or white color. This area is edible and contains many hidden nutrients that most people avoid eating due to its unique flavor.
The amino acid citrulline was first extracted from watermelon and analysed.[9] Watermelons contain a significant amount of citrulline and after consumption of several kg, an elevated concentration is measured in the blood plasma; this could be mistaken for citrullinaemia or other urea cycle disorder.[10]
Watermelon rinds are also edible, and sometimes used as a vegetable.[11] In China, they are stir-fried, stewed or more often pickled. When stir-fried, the de-skinned and de-fruited rind is cooked with olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, scallions, sugar and rum. Pickled watermelon rind is also commonly consumed in the Southern US.[12] Watermelon juice can also be made into wine.[13]
Watermelon is also mildly diuretic.[14]
Watermelons contain large amounts of beta carotene.[15]
Watermelon with red flesh is a significant source of lycopene.
