Few things shout out the coming of summer quite like the arrival of watermelon. It’s refreshing and delicious, and it’s the perfect addition to barbeques. But, did you know that it does wonders for your health, too?
It’s Packed with Nutrition Plus, it’s an excellent source of vitamins A and C and potassium and contains several other bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and carotenoids.
It Helps Keep You Hydrated Its name is a cue – 92 percent of the fruit is water, which means it helps keep you hydrated so your core temperature remains lower.
It Helps Your Skin Glow Thanks to the fruit’s vitamin A and C, watermelon can help keep your hair and skin healthy. Vitamin A helps protect skin from UV-ray damage, while vitamin C is necessary to produce collagen, the foundation of your hair and skin.
It’s Not Just for Summer Watermelon may conjure up images of summer BBQs, but fresh watermelon is available year-round. It can be enjoyed on its own, or in recipes from breakfast smoothies to watermelon salsa, as well as grilled watermelon and watermelon pudding.
