- Above all, when we eat watermelon, we detoxifies our body. That fruit is made up from 92% of water and studies shows that eating vegetables and fruits with a high water content help detox our organism, by getting rid of excess unnecessary water and fluids.
Potassium are also important in detox process. Potassium works as electrolyte and assiste in circulatory health allows oxygen to reach your cells. Watermelon became also a alkaline food what means it helps to bring the pH level of the body back to natural state. It is scientifically substantiated that cancer or other disease have harder to develop inside the body with alkaline background.
There is a lot of alkaline foods that you can find on this list :).
Potasium also helps to prevent kidney stones thanks to that we are capable to detox our body. Watermelon is a natural diuretic, causing increase of urine production that disposes of waste and toxines from body. So our kidneys have more work with it. Caffeinated drinks and alcohol also act as diuretics, but they put big stress to our kidneys, so it's better to eat watermelon! :)
