1. 12 Reasons to Eat Watermelon
===================================

Sweet treats in the summertime. .yummm. . especially when
they are cold and refreshing!

The classic image of going out for ice cream on a hot summer eve
can be so appealing, but remains that, an image - at least for
those of us who make food choices that don't include refined
sugar.

The best way to satisfy that hankering for a cold refreshing
sweet treat in the summer is with watermelon.

And satisfying our "summertime sweet tooth" is not the only
reason to eat watermelon - here are 12 other very important
health reasons to eat this delicious fruit. . .

1. Provides additional water to the body

2. Good for bad breath

3. Hangover remedy

4. Can improve sore throat and mouth sores

5. Cleanses the kidneys (juice the entire watermelon - rind,
seeds, and all and drink for a good kidney cleanse)

6. Naturally gets rid of excess fluid in the body - it has
diuretic properties

7. Liver supportive - contains glutathione

8. Cleanses blood and strengthens glands - contains chlorophyll

9. It's a good source of potassium

10. Fat free - low in calories, high in energy

11. Nutrients in watermelon include vitamins A, B6, and C

12. Helps lower risk of heart disease: Has the highest amount of
lycopenes in fruit and veggies according to the USDA Caratenoid
Database. (In Europe, researchers have found a significant
association between high dietary lycopene and a 48 percent lower
risk of heart disease)


=======================================
2. Essential Oil Tip: Water Retention
=======================================

Grapefruit essential oil is helpful in combating fluid
retention. Rub it on the bottom of the feet or on lower
abdomen, or put a few drops in water and drink it (only if it is
a therapeutic grade oil such as Young Living).

4. Recipe of the Week: Watermelon Freeze
==========================================

Watermelon Freeze

Ingredients:

4 cups seeded and cubed watermelon
2 cups cubed cantaloupe
3 fresh mint leaves or 1 mint tea bag
1 cup water
Juice of 1 fresh lemon


--Puree the melons in a food processor until smooth.
--Place in a saucepan and simmer 15 minutes.
--Meanwhile, in another pan, simmer the mint leaves or tea bag in
the water about 3 minutes.
--Strain and add this infusion to the cooked melons.
--Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

--Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners or Dixie cups
--Pour the melon puree into each one and freeze.
--When beginning to firm up, you may insert flat wooden sticks
into each treat.
--Freeze until completely hard or the papers will not peel easily
away.
--Remove papers before serving. Makes 12-18.

5. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

An old farmer was once asked what the difference was between a
watermelon and a sweet pea. He thought about it for a moment and
replied: "Well, I think about 20 minutes."
