Pink Punch




Today my summer thirst recipe is pink punch.This is made by pink fruits such as water melon, pomegranate and straw berry. This is very refreshing summer drink. In summer we want to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, but it is not possible when we are outside so we should drink  some liquids like fruits /fruit juices /coconut water /buttermilk before going to outside. Till now I posted many refreshing summer beverages, but now I made some colorful and healthy drink with pink color fruits. I am giving some health benefits about these pink color fruits (from:Google)
 Health benefits:
1.Pomegranate fruit is Packed with antioxidants equal to those in green tea and red wine, and especially loaded with Vitamin C and Potassium. Pomegranate health benefits are 
Lower Risk of Heart Disease ,Lower Risk of Cancer, Especially Prostate & Breast ,Lessen Symptoms of Diarrhea ,Reduce Cholesterol,Control Your Weight  and Fight Cell Damage.
 
2.In fact, most melons are rich in potassium, a nutrient that may help control blood pressure, regulate heart beat, and possibly prevent strokes.Melons are also abundant in vitamin C. Researchers believe that beta-carotene and vitamin C are capable of preventing heart disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions.  

3.Strawberry is a wonder fruit. It is rich in antioxidants and helps in preventing cardiovascular diseases, cancer and also helps in delaying aging. Studies suggest that the high antioxidant levels in the strawberries can help neutralize the negative effects of free radicals in your system. Antioxidants also boost the immune system and help keep off diseases like cold and flu.Strawberries are also rich in vitamins and minerals and are low in calories.

 I hope you follow my recipe and happy cooking.......
