Melon seeds are often thrown away without a second thought — but they’re actually packed with powerful nutrients. When boiled and combined with fresh lemon juice, they create a simple, healing drink that supports the kidneys, digestion, and overall wellness.
π± Why Melon Seeds?
Melon seeds (especially from yellow melon or cantaloupe) contain:
- Magnesium, potassium, and zinc – support heart and muscle function
- Natural enzymes – aid digestion
- Plant-based proteins and antioxidants – help reduce inflammation
- Gentle diuretic properties – support kidney and bladder health
π Why Add Yellow Lemon?
Lemon juice enhances the drink by:
- Supporting liver detox
- Boosting vitamin C and digestion
- Enhancing absorption of minerals from the seeds
