Watermelon

[TonyDown]

I've been eating a lot of watermelon lately.  It seems to be great for my "regularity".  And it's a tasty treat.

Now I find out there is such a thing as consuming too much watermelon.  Friend told me to ease up on the watermelon.  I looked it up.  He's right.  😐

This week I'm trying zucchini squash, stovetop recipe.  Also okra.  Both from my garden.

What dietary choices do you keep on your menu for a happy digestive tract?

Prunes.  Never thought I'd like them.  I do.

Asparagus and red bell peppers, both good for a healthy digestive tract, but I have both often just because I like them.  I chop the asparagus into quarters.  The bottom quarter is the woody part, which gets tossed.  I steam the 2nd quarter for a couple of minutes, add the 3rd quarter for a minute more, then the tips for 30 seconds.  Sprinkle a little salt, ready to eat.  Yes, they’re super yummy with butter, but I don’t need the calories.  The red peppers I just get rid of the stems & seeds and eat them raw.  Probably healthier, plus I don’t like how the taste changes once cooked.
