The human body accumulates toxins on a daily basis. Pollution, weather change, unhealthy diet and sleep patterns all take a toll on our health and well being. It is very important to include those foods in your diet that help in getting rid of those toxins. Raw fruits and salads can be a great choice and one of the best ones is eating melons.These wonderfully delicious and uniquely flavoured fruits are very low in saturated fats and 100gms of the fruit contains only 34 calories. They are also low in sodium and cholesterol but very high vitamins, antioxidant flavonoids, minerals and electrolytes that help in the rejuvenation of cells. The high amount of dietary fiber in melons boosts digestion and keeps you feeling satiated for long. They are a rich source of potassium as well which is an impotant element to keep unhealthy food cravings in check. Eating melons also helps in maintaining a good eyesight as they can be consumed to get daily doses of vitamins A and C apart from moderate levels of B-complex vitamins like niacin and pantothenic acid. The fruit is also a good source of micro nutrients such as lutein, cryptoxanthin, beta-carotene and zea-xanthin. These nutrients and antioxidants are required to protect cells and other structures in the body from oxygen-free radicals and offer a protection from several cancers. The high water content of the fruit flushes out body toxins as water in itself is the best element for detoxification. You can drink limitless quantities of water throughout the day and it would only have positive effects on you. However, it is important to consider when you should not drink water so that you can avoid health complications. Drink water before eating to control your appetite and before drinking hot beverages to prevent acidity. However, water intake after tea or coffee would lead to tooth sensations and after meals would cause bloating and discomfort.
