Hydrate with Watermelon
Watermelon is an excellent and delicious way to help hydrate your body. Proper hydration is one of the most important aspects of health. We need water in order for our bodies to function properly. Water carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, moves waste products out of our body, and helps lubricate joints allowing us to exercise and play! Eat watermelon all-year-round to up your hydration!

The antioxidants found in watermelon may aid in recovery after exercise.
Support For Your Team

Support For Your Muscles
Eat watermelon after a tough workout to help restock your muscles with glycogen (the carbohydrates that are stored as energy in the muscles).
