Watermelon...

Memorial weekend is upon us!  I know there is going to be watermelon somewhere in the picture, what a way to kick off the summer and remember this...

As the saying goes, we are what we eat!  Now this can work to your advantage or disadvantage, depending on the foods and beverages you choose to indulge in. What you put on your plate has power to improve your skin.

Though it may sound counterintuitive, the high concentration of water in watermelon can actually reduce the water retention that leads to puffiness around the eyes. And because watermelon is low in sugar (as compared to many other fruits), you don’t have to worry about glycation, the chemical reaction that compromises collagen and leads to lines and wrinkles.

Until Monday - Keep thinking veggies and protein!
