Natural Detoxification
Watermelon’s high water content (92%) helps flush out toxins
from the body, supporting kidney function
and promoting a gentle detox.
It can help the body cleanse itself naturally by increasing urine production and assisting in the removal of waste and toxins.
Rich in Nutrients and Hydration
Even during a fast, your body needs essential
vitamins and minerals.
Watermelon provides hydration while supplying
vitamins A, B6, and C as well as antioxidants
like lycopene and amino acids like citrulline,
which support overall health.
Supports Digestive Health
Watermelon contains fibre, which can help
cleanse the digestive tract.
This can give your digestive system a much-needed break and promote regular bowel movements.
The simplicity of a mono-diet also reduces digestive workload, which some believe can help improve gut health and
alleviate digestive discomfort.
Aids in Weight Loss
Watermelon is low in calories but high in volume,
helping you feel full while consuming fewer calories.
A watermelon fast may help jumpstart weight loss by reducing overall calorie intake, reducing water retention and
resetting taste buds to favour healthier foods.
Boosts Energy and Reduces Inflammation
The natural sugars in watermelon can provide a quick energy boost without the crash associated with processed sugars.
The anti-inflammatory properties of lycopene and vitamin C
can also help reduce inflammation, support recovery and
improve skin health.
Mental Clarity and Focus
Fasting on watermelon can lead to increased mental clarity and focus as the body isn’t weighed down by heavy meals or
complex digestion.
Some people report feeling more alert and clear-headed
during and after a watermelon cleanse.
