Have you ever tired mixing a variety of melons to make one unique juice? Besides being tasty and refreshing, this laudable drink can provide many health benefits to Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.

According to www.diethealthclub.com, Melon juice has a cleansing, diuretic, mineralizing, and alkalinizing effect on the body and is very effective in eliminating harmful toxins. It is easily digestible and helps maintain an acid-alkaline balance in our body.

Melon juice is a rich source of antioxidants like lycopene, lutein, beta-carotene, neurosporene phytoene, and phytofluene. These antioxidants not only help protect against a number of diseases and disorders, they also boost stamina and metabolism. The vital antioxidants also help neutralize the harmful free radicals found in the body.

It contains no cholesterol and helps prevent the build up of cholesterol in the arteries and other blood vessels. Furthermore, melon juice increases the good cholesterol in the body and lowers the risk of cardiovascular disorders.
