 Hey, y'all welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I wanted to talk to you briefly about the benefits of drinking cantaloupe juice For women's health. So if you struggle with PCOS endometriosis Ovarian cysts, fibroid tumors, heavy menstrual cycle, block tubes, whatever it is Cantaloupe juice might be one of those things that might be good for you Now, first of all, it is in the middle of winter and cantaloupe is not in season. Okay? Okay, so if you prefer to eat fruits and vegetables during the season that they are made then That's what you should do. I have had results by drinking cantaloupe juice year-round and So I'm not a big stickler on it Although it is best to drink cantaloupe juice when Cantaloupe season is available and that is usually in the summer I can't remember which month right now, but it's in the summer. I think it's like July August and maybe even into September But don't quote me on that because I really honestly don't remember exactly when it is I Drink cantaloupe juice on a regular basis and I have gotten great results from it. So I Don't typically eat cantaloupe I don't love to eat cantaloupe But I really like to drink the juice because it's very hydrating and it makes my body feel good And when I drink it I drink it in a 32 ounce mason jar So I drink four cups of it at a time when I drink it I might sip on it all day or I might have it for breakfast or I might have for lunch or dinner or something like that But cantaloupe juice is one of those juices that you know for me. It's just good any time of the year You use your own judgment, but Cantaloupe juice is good for cardiovascular health and the leading cause of death for women is cardiovascular health problems and It decreases the viscosity in the blood It reduces blood clots it the potassium in the the In the cantaloupe Transports oxygen to the system. So let me just get a little bit deep here You know how a lot of women who have female issues are anemic or their iron is lower than it should because they're losing so much blood Well, the reason why we're tired is because the Oxygen is not being taken to the body the way it needs to be because the iron levels low and So what cantaloupe does is it helps to take the oxygen to the places that it needs to go in the body So it assists somebody who is anemic or has been susceptible to anemia so it You know it helps in that way but it also fights against oxidative stress it Helps ward off strokes. I think we all can eat we all use that and that's one of those things that is considered heart disease You know women have strokes. I think it is more than men do that's because it's one of the Women die from heart disease more than men do I I believe that's what the statistics says if I'm not mistaken And if it's not that if that's not statistic, it's very close Um Also cantaloupe juice boost the immune system. It helps fight off cataracts on the eye I had to take my mother-in-law to get cataracts removed twice from her eyes like one day they did one eye and the other day they did the other eye and Even though it was a really quick surgery. I mean they they had to put a new lens on her eye Excuse me. That's crazy to me. I don't want cataracts. It might seem like it's a you know a Simple operation, but I don't want that on my eyes So also what I've noticed when I drink can cantaloupe juice That I can feel something happening in my eye like I'm getting a detox symptom in my eye like my eyes might turn red Or they might start watering or like I might feel a little bit of pressure in my eye And it might it'll go away in a you know a few hours or a couple days or something like that Especially if I'm drinking and drinking and drinking cataloupe juice I can tell that my eyes are being cleansed now that might sound silly to some of you but if you've had to wear glasses or If you you have people in your family that have had glaucoma or cataracts or any of those things It might be a good idea to drink cantaloupe juice so that you can cleanse your eyeballs So I'm just saying that might be a little bit over the top for some of y'all, but I'm just giving you options. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle So most of my the people that I talked to in my clients need that menstrual cycle regular and When I say regulate menstrual cycle, I'm not saying I'm not always referring to oh it comes this day And maybe it might not come for three months and then it might come in two weeks or I'm bleeding all the time I'm talking about even the woman who gets her cycle every month on you know like clockwork But she's got you know a six or seven day period even a five day period We're really not supposed to have a period that's we're losing all that blood all those days So I just want to you know give you that information Also, cantaloupe juice helps with with weight loss It helps to clear the skin of acne fine lines and wrinkles It gives you skin elasticity helps get rid of blemishes and burns and those liver spots that you see on your skin and For some of you you're having trouble with the hair It helps stimulate hair growth and the hair stand in your skull so if you are having trouble with Hair loss it would be a good idea to start juicing cantaloupe The other thing about juicing cantaloupe is this pretty cheap to juice it. It's um It's not expensive like you take one cantaloupe and Depending on how big it is in it juice four cups of juice. That's that's a lot right now in my city The cantaloupes are two for five dollars. So two dollars and fifty cents for four cups of juice whenever you're spending five dollars for one of those 16 ounce crappy juices in the in the Store anyway, so it's a bargain if you ask me so I'm gonna give you one caveat about drinking a melon juice Well, first of all, let me just say this to the melons are going to do be do deep detoxification for the body It's going to cleanse the body Cleanse the tissues cleanse all that gunk out of your body. That's what? Cantaloupe juice is going to help your body do but Let me here Let me give you the caveat and if you've watched my great vid grape juice video is the same caveat If you're eating a crappy diet do not drink cantaloupe juice If you're going to drink it make a commitment to make eat a high Nutrient dense diet and lay off the processed foods Don't eat processed foods and drink cantaloupe juice and expect it's gonna do something because what it's going to do is It'll make your blood sugars go like this and you'll be all over the place But if you're making a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and you're eating lots of fruits and vegetables I'm not even saying getting rid of all your meat products But you're limiting your meat maybe to a couple ounces a day three ounces a day or less You know, maybe even three ounces a week. That's plenty Because our kidneys can't Digest all of that especially if we're trying to heal from something if you will just eat fruits and vegetables and then you add The cantaloupe juice you will see the results but if you think that you're gonna drink some cantaloupe juice and You're gonna eat the same crappy diet that you've been eating for 40 years It ain't gonna. It's not a good. It's not a good match So I just want to give you that because I don't want to sit here and you say oh She said to drink cantaloupe juice and you've been during you drink cantaloupe juice And you go home and you still eat at McDonald's and Burger King and all that other stuff Mixed with that. It's not a good combination. So do that Do the cantaloupe juice in combination with the healthy lifestyle change or in addition to your Healthy lifestyle that you've been living. So I just wanted to say that that's it. It's important. So That's it y'all. Thanks so much for watching and I will talk to you all soon. Take care
