Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I recently experienced excruciatingly hot weather while in Dubai, about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme humidity made matters worse. Living under such sizzling heat, people in Dubai must find the best way to quench their thirst. Watermelon juice saves the day!
I first tried this sweet, smooth, hydrating drink at a friend's house last week in Sharjah, a neighboring city of Dubai. Sipping the watermelon juice, I felt as though I was being cleansed. It was as if my body was being restored after being exposed to such scorching high temperatures all day. The juice cooled me down like no other drink has previously done. And so, the rest of my trip I drank a couple of glasses of watermelon juice.
This summer, as temperatures start to rise, I suggest watermelon juice. Unlike citrus juices, there is very little acidity. And for those of you concerned with your health, watermelon juice is a great alternative to other juices. Read on to find out its health benefits.
Watermelon juice is fat free and a great source of:
- Potassium
- Lycopene (lowers the risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease)
- Vitamins A, B6, and C

I do have to say that I cheat on my diet of eating seasonally by buying the very expensive containers of cut up watermelon during the winter. Very bad of me...but it's one of few vices. Currently, I've discovered Lindy's Homemade Watermelon Ice. It's expensive, too, but so refreshing and cold!

The most cooling drink of all is called "grass jelly drink." It can be had at most Chinese grocery stores. It is made of some kind of agar gelatin cut into tiny squares in sugar water and makes you feel about ten degrees cooler. The effect is very noticable.
Different flavor than anything you have ever had, although it now comes in flavors like coconut, lychee, and banana.
It's better than the snow frog ovaries with birds nest, though.
