Things to note when drinking watermelon juice

Don't drink too much

Although watermelon juice is not a fattening food, drinking too much will expand the stomach. When the stomach is expanded, the appetite will increase, which makes it easy to gain weight without realizing it.

Do not ice

Although iced watermelon juice tastes better and makes you feel cooler after drinking it, it can also be more harmful to the spleen and stomach, especially for young children and pregnant women, who can easily suffer from diarrhea after drinking it.

Freshly squeezed drink

The weather is hot in summer, and watermelon has a high sugar content. It is easy to spoil after being cut and squeezed into juice. If you don’t want to get diarrhea after drinking it, it is best to drink it immediately after squeezing it and not store it for a long time.
