Seeded Watermelon Moss

Description

Benefits of Watermelon Sea Moss…

We listed all the benefits of watermelon juice below but in combination with Chondrus Crispus makes for a whole other Powerhouse. Usually we make our moss with Aloe but not this time, its cleaned with Organic Aloe Vera Juice but developed with Watermelon juice so it has a strong watermelon taste. Unlike our other fruity Mosses this moss tastes a lot like the fruit because its not over powered by Aloe Vera. For those of you who have more of a “Processed tongue” as i usually say basically looking more for the taste we’ve figured it out for you. Thank us later.

-This moss comes in a 16oz jar and considering its without Aloe vera juice it will only last 2 @ best 3 weeks after received and must be kept refrigerated @ all times and immediately after receiving.

The health benefits of watermelon juice do come from the fact that the fruit is a great way to keep hydrated, especially during the hot months. Sometimes, it can be difficult to get young children to drink enough water, but it is easier to get them to consume watermelon. However, the benefits don’t end there. Watermelon is a good source of fiber, vitamins C, A, and B. It is also a source of protein and carbohydrates, as well as potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. Watermelon contains enzymes, organic acids, and natural sugars. It also has no fat or cholesterol, and limited sodium content.

Blood pressure: The potassium and magnesium, along with the acids in the watermelon, combine to help keep blood vessels healthy and maintain smooth blood flow. The watermelon can also help maintain proper electrolyte and acid balance, which are all-important for a stable blood pressure level. A study published in the American Journal of Hypertension reports that watermelon has the ability to reduce blood pressure in those who are overweight.

Asthma: Some research suggests that the risks of developing asthma are lower in people who consume higher amounts of certain nutrients, including vitamin C. As mentioned above, watermelon contains vitamin C. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a report in 2014 that suggested vitamin C should be included in a list of asthma treatments to be examined further.

Heart health: Amino acids help maintain arteries and good blood flow, which promote healthy cardiovascular function. There are amino acids in watermelon. The fruit also contains beta-carotene, as well as vitamin C, known to help reduce cholesterol.

Weight loss: Research seems to suggest that watermelon juice benefits weight loss. In animal studies, acid, like that found in watermelon, appeared to interfere with the production of fat in fat cells. Since watermelon is low in calories and does not have any fat in it, many people have turned to it as a weight loss aid. The fact that watermelon contains about 90 percent water helps us fill up quickly and avoid over-eating.

Skin: Hydration is important for our skin and since watermelon contains water many people are not surprised to hear there are watermelon juice benefits for skin. The vitamin A in the fruit also promotes body tissue growth such as skin and hair. Vitamin C helps maintain collagen, which provides structure to both our skin and hair.

Pregnancy:  There seem to be watermelon juice benefits during pregnancy. Many women have reported that consuming watermelon while pregnant eased their swelling, heartburn, and morning sickness. A study in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics indicates that essential nutrients found in watermelon reduce preeclampsia by as much as 50 percent. Since watermelon contains vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as potassium and magnesium, it can’t hurt to eat the fruit when pregnant. All of these vitamins can be important to the development of a baby’s brain, nervous and immune systems.

Kidney health: Watermelon can be a diuretic. It can stimulate kidney function and reduce uric acid in the blood. Some believe that the watermelon also helps the liver process ammonia, which can lower stress on the kidney while getting rid of excess fluid.

Cancer: Studies are ongoing, but we know some scientific experts suggest that nutrients found in watermelon could be helpful in reducing certain types of cancer. We also know that vitamins C and A (also found in watermelon) play a role in protecting cells from free radical damage. Some nutritionists recommend consuming watermelon daily and not just the flesh, but the rind as well.

Eye health: It turns out that carrots aren’t the only good food for our eyes. Watermelon juice benefits our eye health as well. Watermelon is an excellent source of beta-carotene. It also has a combination of vitamin A, vitamin C, and other essential nutrients that can keep our eyes healthy.

Rich in antioxidants: Many nutritionists will tell you that watermelon is packed with antioxidants that have the ability to help keep us healthy. Antioxidants protect us from free radicals that can cause inflammation and problems such as arthritis, asthma, stroke, cancer, and heart disease. Some experts suggest that in order to maximize the antioxidant benefits we should consume watermelon that is ripe and fresh.
