Alcohol consumption increases body heat and dehydration. Watermelon has a cooling effect, helps replenish electrolytes, and quickly reduces body temperature while rehydrating. Watermelon is composed of 90% water.
This amount of water can compensate for the water loss caused by alcohol consumption. Additionally, drinking watermelon juice helps expedite the excretion of alcohol through urine, thereby reducing the amount of alcohol absorbed by the body.
Apart from its detox properties, watermelon juice is also one of the best choices for skin health and beauty!
