Feel like pigging out on some watermelon? These fun watermelon carvings are a whole new way to enjoy a fruit that’s got way more goodness than you might think.
I’ve always thought that watermelon was pretty much just sugary, crunchy water. Delicious on a hot summer’s day but not exactly a health food.
However devotees of Michael Mosley (of 5:2/Intermittent Fasting Diet fame) and his latest carefully researched British TV series ‘Trust Me I’m A Doctor‘ will have seen how a trial group of men with various levels of high blood pressure ate watermelon, beetroot or garlic for a week, leading to a blood pressure drop in all cases.
