I decided to start infusing my boring water with different fruits. This watermelon, cucumber and mint combination has become my favorite, especially during the hot summer months. Not only is it refreshing and delicious, it is also nutritious.
Watermelon has many health benefits. It can assist the body in flushing out toxins. It also is a great source of citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve blood circulation.
