Is there anything more refreshing than watermelon on a hot day?? 

Lucky for us… Watermelon is delicious, AND it also provides some incredible benefits! 

 

**Hydration: **

C’mon.. Water is in the name! Watermelon has a very high water content of 91%. This helps with hydration, digestion and detoxification! 

 

**High in Potassium and Magnesium: **

Potassium acts as an electrolyte and promotes circulatory health. It also helps manage blood flow and hydration levels and allows oxygen to reach cells! 

Magnesium reduces water retention in the gut to reduce bloating and water weight. 

 

**Skin Health: **

Watermelon is one of the most antioxidant-rich foods available! It is high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C! 

Vitamin A: Maintains cell health and protects from UV damage. 

Vitamin C: Boosts collagen production and helps prevent sun damage. 

This is a really yummy recipe from [The Mediterranean Dish](https://www.themediterraneandish.com/watermelon-salad-with-cucumber-feta/#wprm-recipe-container-10600)! It is just simple, fresh, refreshing and satisfying. You are going to LOVE it. 

All of the fresh fruits and veggies topped with the sweet and tangy dressing is so, so perfect for busy summer days. Whether you are putting it in a cooler and bringing it with you to the pool or making it at the beginning of the week for an easy afternoon snack- you will probably be fighting for seconds. 😉
