Is watermelon good for you? In this article, we are going to examine the incredible health benefits of watermelon.

During the summer we start having cravings for fresh, refreshing foods. We eat more fruits and vegetables and endoulge on iced drinks.

You probably guessed it, one of the best summer bites is watermelon. It’s low in calories, high in water content, and sweet enough which makes it the best healthy choice.

Here are the 5 Reasons Why You Should Eat Watermelon :

Hydration

The human body is alsmot 60% water, making it an imperative part of our diets.

Drinking enough water daily can decrease bloated, help with skin issues, aid digestion, and much more.

Watermelons 91% water content can help you stay hydrated while enjoying its sweet and refreshing taste.

Lycopene

Lycopene is a type of carotenoid a substance that gives tomatoes and watermelon their red color and doesn’t transform into vitamin A.

Precisely this carotenoid has been linked to several health benefits such as cancer prevention, eye health, bone strength and brain performance.

Muscle soreness relief

Citrulline, an amino acid found in watermelon can reduce muscle soreness, and can be taken as a supplement.

Interestingly though, watermelon can help your body absorb citrulline better.

It’s found primarily in the rind and seeds, so adding those to your smoothies can significantly increase your intake of this amino acid.

Reduced inflammation

Inflammation is the major issue with most chronic diseases we suffer from.

Watermelon rich anti-inflammatory antioxidants such as lycopene, vitamin C, or even triterpenoid, can help with inflammation.

Control blood pressure

Watermelon rich water content, as well as vitamins and minerals, can assist different areas of your body, especially your heart.

This is because some nutrients such as citrulline and arginine can help in lowering your blood pressure.
