Health Benefits

Hydration & cooling
Watermelon is over 90% water, supporting hydration—particularly helpful in warmer weather or for women experiencing hot flushes.

Antioxidant support
Watermelon provides lycopene, while spinach contributes beta-carotene and vitamin C, supporting antioxidant defences and cellular health.

Bone & muscle support
Feta supplies calcium and protein, important for bone health, especially post-menopause.

Digestive & metabolic support
Cucumber and spinach are fibre-rich and gentle on digestion, while olive oil supports healthy bile flow and nutrient absorption.

Blood sugar balance
Pairing naturally sweet watermelon with protein (feta), fibre (spinach, cucumber) and fat (olive oil) helps slow glucose absorption.
