The Case for Putting Watermelon in Everything This Summer
The Case for Putting Watermelon in Everything This Summer
Watermelon is naturally sweet, incredibly refreshing on a hot day, and surprisingly versatile. It can anchor a salad, become the base of a smoothie, or blend into a refreshing summer cocktail. If you’re only slicing it into cubes, you’re missing out!
It’s watermelon season and I am here for it!
Every summer, I buy at least one watermelon that’s far larger than I intended. It looks reasonable in the store, but then I get it home and remember that a whole watermelon is a whole lot of watermelon.
Luckily there are endless ways to put it to use. I cut it into cubes (here’s the best way to cut a watermelon!), then I add it to salads, blend it into smoothies and cocktails, snack on it with Tajin sprinkled on top, and if I’m feeling really wild, I dice it up really small and add it to guacamole. (Seriously, you have to try it.)
Watermelon is my favorite for summer because:
- It’s at its Best Right Now. Watermelon is sweetest during the summer months, which means you don’t have to do much to make it taste great.
- Watermelon Is Budget-Friendly. A whole watermelon can stretch across breakfasts, snacks, salads, and even drinks, making it one of the more economical summer fruits.
- It Keeps You Cool. Watermelon is more than 90% water, so it’s super refreshing on hot days.
- You Can Do It Sweet or Savory. Pair it with feta, herbs, lime, chili powder, or blend it into smoothies and cocktails. Its mild sweetness makes it surprisingly versatile.
How to Pick a Good Watermelon
Choosing a ripe watermelon doesn’t have to be a guessing game. A few things I look for:
- Creamy Yellow Field Spot. This is where the melon rested on the ground. The deeper yellow it is, the longer the watermelon had to ripen.
- Heavy Feel. A ripe watermelon should feel heavier than it looks because it’s full of juice.
- Dull, Not Shiny, Rind. Glossy watermelons are often less mature than those with a more matte finish.
- A Symmetrical Shape. Round or oval is fine, but avoid melons with large flat spots or irregular bumps.
3 Ways to Use Watermelon This Week
Watermelon Smoothie
Watermelon practically makes itself into a smoothie. Blend it with fruit and yogurt for a refreshing breakfast or afternoon snack that's especially welcome on hot mornings.

Watermelon Salad
This is the recipe that convinces people watermelon belongs outside the fruit bowl. Sweet watermelon, salty feta, and fresh herbs create a combination that's bright, refreshing, and right at home next to anything coming off the grill.

Watermelon Margarita
Watermelon brings natural sweetness and vibrant flavor to frozen margaritas without making them taste overly sugary. It's the kind of cocktail that disappears quickly at summer gatherings.

208: What Mold Is Really Doing to Your Health and How to Find It with Brian Karr
Hi friends!
I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about mold and how it can silently be affecting your health.
I’m sitting down with Brian Karr, second generation indoor environmental consultant and co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test. Brian has helped thousands of people create healthier living environments and has become a go-to expert for medical professionals nationwide on mold and biotoxin issues.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your home could be affecting your health, or if you’ve been dealing with mystery symptoms that nobody can explain, then check out what we chat about:
- Why mold is not a new problem, but why we are only now starting to connect the dots between it and so many chronic health conditions
- The surprising reason why dried out mold colonies can actually be more dangerous than wet ones
- Why new builds are not automatically safe and the three ways mold can get into a brand new home before you even move in
- Why you do not have to gut your entire house, and how having the right data makes the process far less overwhelming and expensive
- The most common spots in your home where mold is hiding that you are probably not checking
- Why those little mold testing pucks from the store can give you both false positives and false negatives and what to do instead
- What The Dust Test is, how it works, and why it gives you a much more accurate picture of what is happening in your home
- How The Dust Test can actually cross-reference mold in your home with mycotoxins found in your body
- The free Mold Exposure Score tool Brian created and how to use it as your starting point
And so much more!!
It was so great getting to talk with Brian and I hope you love this episode!

Can Exercise Counteract a High-Fat Meal?
There is a window of time in which sufficient physical activity can help mediate some of the damage caused by eating an unhealthy meal.
I’ve previously discussed studies that show a single meal high in saturated fat can impair artery function in men, as measured in the arm, but what is more concerning is blood flow to the wall of the heart. Researchers randomized men to eat either a high-fat meal that was more than 60% fat, half of it saturated, with more than an egg’s worth of cholesterol, or a low-fat meal that was mostly carbs, less than 10% fat, and had 50 times less cholesterol.
Below and at 0:47 in my video Exercising to Protect Your Arteries from Fast Food, you can see a Doppler recording of the left anterior descending coronary artery, known as the widow-maker, before the high-fat meal (top). Its nice strong signal was squeezed down within hours after eating; the image (bottom) was taken five hours after the high-fat meal.
The coronary flow reserve decreased after a single high-fat meal, but not after a low-fat meal with the same number of calories.
What does “coronary reserve” mean? When part of a coronary artery is blocked for any reason, the surrounding vessels expand. That extra expansion capacity is called the coronary flow reserve, and it’s clamped down within hours of eating a fatty meal, undermining the heart’s ability to compensate for clogged arteries. That’s how a high-fat meal affects blood flow to the heart.
In extreme cases, you can even witness it in the back of someone’s eye. Below are before-and-after images of a retina, which you can also see at 1:34 in my video.
The first image shows milky-colored blood vessels, and the second shows what happens after a low-fat diet and drugs help clear the fat from the bloodstream. Can you see the difference? In the first photo, the blood looked like a milkshake.
What happens if you exercise right after eating that high-fat meal? Post-meal inflammation following the extended elevation of fat in the blood after high-fat meals is a likely explanation for increased cardiovascular disease risk, but substantial evidence suggests that acute exercise is an effective way to clear out some of that fat after a meal. However, the beneficial effects of acute exercise on postprandial lipemia (after-the-meal fatty blood) appear to be relatively short-lived. Going a few days without exercising may completely negate any benefit, no matter how fit you are. The time window appears to be between 18 hours before the meal and around 90 minutes after the meal. And how much exercise do we need? About an hour of moderate-intensity exercise should do it.
In another study, it only took 20 minutes of stair climbing, broken up into five-minute intervals every hour for four hours after a McDonald’s breakfast of hash browns, eggs, pancakes, an English muffin, sausage, and a milkshake. Following such a meal, artery function significantly decreased when the subjects just sat around after eating, but not when they did the hourly stair-climbing exercises. So, hourly exercise may attenuate the negative effects not only of prolonged sitting but also of eating a high-fat meal, “suggesting that stair climbing should be incorporated as an easily accessible lifestyle strategy to protect vascular [artery] function.” Of course, it goes without saying that the other way you can protect artery function is to not to eat breakfast at McDonald’s in the first place.
Such a meal would also have more than 2,000 mg of sodium. That’s more than the 1,500 mg the American Heart Association recommends we stay under for an entire day. Give someone a meal with less salt, even a third less, and that alone can still impair artery function within an hour of consumption, even independent of the increase in blood pressure.
When it comes to blood pressure, some people are “salt-sensitive,” meaning they suffer a large bump in blood pressure when they eat salt, but others are said to be “salt-resistant.” Their blood pressure doesn’t really depend much on their salt intake. So, is salt okay for these people? No. High dietary sodium intake reduces artery function regardless of whether your blood pressure is salt-sensitive or salt-resistant. Your artery function is impaired either way, going from a low-salt diet to a high-salt diet, which you can see below and at 3:53 in my video.
There is an influence of dietary salt beyond blood pressure. Despite the “seemingly unanimous consensus,” some researchers (too often funded by the salt industry) claim that it’s actually not good to cut down on salt, but the evidence is against these dissenters. Like the saturated fat in meat, dairy, and junk, the science indicates that sodium—not sodium reduction—is “the real villain.”
Doctor’s Note
This is the second in a three-part series on saturated fat and artery health. The first was How a Single Meal Can Cripple Your Arteries and Lungs. Up next is Protect Your Arteries from Saturated Fat with These Foods.
