Why I eat a lot of Galia Melons

I grow them & they are in season now - "cheers for that, Bee" I hear you say 🤪🤣

They are good for us 💗

Do not worry, I eat other things, too - just wanted you to feel inspired next time you see these at your farmers market or grocery store - treat your taste buds & muscles & brain cells 💗

Why OW Why?

When it comes to fitness and weight loss, diet plays a critical role in achieving and maintaining your goals. Many people focus heavily on their workout routines but often overlook the power of the right nutrition. If you're looking to enhance your fitness journey or shrink your waist, Galia melons can be an excellent addition to your diet. Here's why:

1. Low in Calories, High in Nutrients - so without eating too many calories, I get my belly full! Do you like your belly full?

Galia melons are incredibly low in calories, making them a guilt-free snack that won’t sabotage your caloric deficit. A typical serving (about 150 grams) has only around 50-60 calories, yet it's packed with essential nutrients. These melons are rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health, as well as potassium, which is crucial for muscle function, electrolyte balance, and regulating blood pressure. Your gorgeous muscles will perform better!

2. Hydration Powerhouse

Cannot count on my fingers & toes how many times people tell me about their cramps... it is no accident & the stars are not all lined up against you! Dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, and a drop in performance. Galia melons are made up of about 90% water, helping you stay hydrated without drinking excessive amounts of fluids. When I workout, I sweat! I am only human... are you? Sweating leads to the loss of both water and electrolytes. Eating water-rich foods like Galia melons can help replenish what you've lost. Because of the electrolyte content your body utilises this hydration more efficiently than if you just drank plain water! I am not hating on water! Water is good, too of course. But if I can get some super organic electrolytes straight from nature in its pristine whole form, I want it!

3. Natural Energy Boost

I do not hate on carbs either... but carbohydrates often get a bad rap ---- they are your body’s primary source of fuel, especially for physical activity! Galia melons provide natural sugars that give you a quick energy boost without the crash associated with processed snacks or sugary drinks. The fiber in these melons also helps regulate blood sugar levels, ensuring a steady energy flow throughout your workout without sharp spikes or dips. Usually I am fine without sweet things but sometimes I just want them & crave them! If you want something sweet, a melon is so much better for you than a pack of cookies... delivers satisfaction but also brings lots of added benefits!

4. Supports Digestion and Gut Health

You're probably tired of me talking about guts... but... Galia melons contain dietary fiber that aids digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing bloating. Fibre also feeds your gut flora - the ones that I try & convince you to support when talking about my weird fermented veg & probiotic foods... Melons make your good bacteria happy & they will have lots & lots of babies which is good for you 👌🏻

5. Antioxidant-Rich for Recovery

Inflammation is another word you get tired of when hanging out with me... BUT Galia melons are packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin C, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. These antioxidants aid in muscle recovery after exercise, reducing soreness and allowing you to get back to your fitness routine faster. Enhance muscle repair and overall recovery: do not deprive yourself & your deserving body! Eat, rest & bounce back into your workout & keep smashing personal records 💪

6. Satisfies Sweet Cravings

For me it is the time of the month when I just drool & dribble uncontrollably & nothing that is not sweet satisfies me! It's got to be done! Progesterone production only kicks in if we give our bodies carbs! Your body craves sweets for a reason... Indulge! Permission granted. You are not naughty or greedy or off track if you eat something sweet: you just have a healthy physiology programmed to make you want to eat it. Galia melons offer a naturally sweet flavor that satisfies your sweet tooth without adding excess calories or refined sugars. This makes them an ideal dessert or snack option, especially for those who struggle with cravings but want to stay on track.

7. Easy to Incorporate Into Your Diet

We are all busy... some of us have kids & multiple layers or drama & responsibility & too much on our plates really... So I get it if you tell me you cannot make some complex salad or stew to get into shape because you do not have the time. But a melon... seriously... you do not have to do anything to it JUST EAT IT! How busy do you have to be to not be able to eat a melon? I am busy, too - I get you! So I cut the thing in half, grab a spoon & scoop it! It never looks insta perfect but it is instant convenience food!

I am not even trying to sell you my melons - mine I want to feed to my daughter & myself! So nobody paid me to tell you this but I think you should pick up some melons. You're deserving & you'll feel like a champion during your next workout! Your muscles will be singing the Ode to Joy & it will be all bliss & satisfaction in every step of yours 💗
