Watermelon Season!

Seeing as I ate almost an entire watermelon myself yesterday (yeah so what, it made me HAPPY okay) it was great to see this arrive in my email inbox this morning from www.realage.com:

1. It's loaded with lycopene. Watermelon juice actually gave tomato juice a run for the money in a recent study of lycopene levels. That’s good news for your body, because early research suggests that lycopene may be a cancer crusher.

I feel slightly super-hero-ish this morning...like I can crush anything

2. It can make your skin pretty. Watermelon is loaded with a key compound credited with helping skin's healing and regenerative processes. Say no more -- bring on the melon!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty, and witty, and...

3. It's practically calorie-free. With fewer than 50 calories in every cup, watermelon is one smart way to satisfy a sweet tooth. And with a whopping 141 grams of water per cubed cup, watermelon will keep you hydrated, too.

suddenly I have the urge to pee....AGAIN......but I guess that is better than the smurf pooh from eating too many blueberries...I kid you not!

I think I will go buy another one...yum, yum.
