Mhiz Posh blaine Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Did you know that watermelon may help improve muscle recovery after exercise????? This juicy fruit is packed with citrulline, an amino acid that has been shown to reduce muscle soreness and enhance athletic performance. Several studies suggest that consuming watermelon juice before or after a workout can speed up recovery and reduce fatigue. In addition, its high water content keeps you hydrated, making it excellent as a post-workout snack!???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytfollow Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Of course, watermelon isn't just good for post-workout muscle repair because of its content of citrulline but also contains the vitamins and antioxidants required for general health. The natural sugars will help to repletion of the energy levels post-exercise, while the potassium present in watermelon helps with maintaining electrolyte balance by preventing cramping. Plus, the refreshing taste of watermelon makes for a very enjoyable cool-down after your workout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Anderson Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Of course! Watermelon isn't just good for muscle recovery because of the citrulline, but also for the essential vitamins and antioxidants in it that help with overall health. The natural sugars help replace lost energy after a workout, and the potassium found in watermelon will balance out the electrolytes, which can help prevent cramps. Watermelon is also packed with lycopene, an antioxidant that could help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Plus, it has a refreshing taste that will cool you down after a workout!

Emmanuel Udosen Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 This drink is a plethora of goodness! Not only does it hydrate and replenish your body with electrolytes from coconut water, but it provides this amazingly delicious burst of flavor-coming from watermelon and lime. Added chia seeds provide fiber, which helps in digestion. Moreover, anti-inflammatory properties in watermelon reduce the risk of conditions such as arthritis. It is not low-carb, but it is a great post-workout drink after an intense workout; this will give your muscles the boost they need for their recovery. A tasty way to recharge!
