What is a melon

The melon

So delicious, that you wouldn’t think that it fattens! Does it?

Eating melons won’t give you any extra pounds. Actually, it’s a real source of vitamins for your body. If you eat 3-4 slices is like you drink 2 glasses of water. You get a Potassium bonus - 100 mg /3 slices – a third of your daily need.

Melon has 33 calories / 100g, all in a very easy to assimilate form sugar. This is perfect for a day of sunbath.

Melon also provides 2 other vitamins, much needed by your skin. There’s vitamin A and vitamin C. Actually, 2 slices of melon contain more vitamin C that a whole orange! Vitamin A, in the carotene form, is excellent for the skin, protecting it from the sunrays, and ensures an even tan, while the C vitamin participates actively at collagen producing, which maintains the skin elasticity.
Keep the melon at the room’s temperature for maximum 2-3 days before consuming it. In the fridge, if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the melon loses its flavor.

Exercise for a thin waist

If you want to get rid of fat on your hips, try this exercise:

Stand tall, with the legs a little spread and you hands straight, palms inwards, on your ties. Raise your left hand without bending it, while your right hand reaches the right knee. Stay like this for 30 seconds, while your body is tense. Repeat the exercise 20 times for each side.
