Benefits:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Watermelon\u00a0<\/b>is 92% water, making it a delicious way to hydrate. It\u2019s an excellent source of \u00a0the antioxidant lycopene, which provides your skin some protection against the sun when eaten regularly. It\u2019s also a good source of Vitamins C and Vitamin A.<\/p>\n

Cucumber<\/b>\u00a0contains a variety of antioxidants and minerals, and helps reduce inflammation. It also contains fisetin, an antioxidant that can improve memory and protect brain cells from age-related decline.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chile Peppers\u00a0<\/b>contain\u00a0capsaicin<\/i>, a compound that has been found to support the metabolism, aid in fat burn, and even protect against certain cancers.<\/p>\n
