Not only is Watermelon delicious and refreshing fruit, but it's also good for you. Did you know it contains only 46 calories per cup and is high in vitamin C, vitamin A and many healthy plant compounds?
So what are the benefits? Here are just a few of them:
??Helps You Hydrate: Drinking water is an important way to keep your body hydrated. However, eating foods that have a high water content can also help. Interestingly, watermelon is 92% water.
??Can Improve Digestion: Watermelon contains lots of water and a small amount of fibre, both of which are important for healthy digestion.
??Contains Nutrients and Beneficial Plant Compounds: As far as fruits go, watermelon is one of the lowest in calories only 46 calories per cup (154 grams). That’s lower than even low-sugar fruits such as berries.
One cup (154 grams) of watermelon has many other nutrients as well, including these vitamins and minerals for example:
- Vitamin C: 21% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)
- Vitamin A: 18% of the RDI
- Potassium: 5% of the RDI
- Magnesium: 4% of the RDI
- Vitamins B1, B5 and B6: 3% of the RDI
??May Help Relieve Muscle Soreness: Citrulline, an amino acid in watermelon, may reduce muscle soreness. It’s also available as a supplement. Interestingly, watermelon juice appears to enhance the absorption of citrulline.
??Is Good for Skin and Hair: Two vitamins in watermelon, Vitamin A and C are important for skin and hair health.
- Vitamin C helps your body make collagen, a protein that keeps your skin supple and your hair strong.
- Vitamin A is also important for healthy skin since it helps create and repair skin cells. Without enough vitamin A, your skin can look dry and flaky.
Overall there are a lot of other health benefits to eating watermelon which makes it not only a tasty low-calorie treat but also super good for your health and keeping you hydrated.
So why not try adding watermelon to your daily intake for water and the other goodness.
Have an awesome day everyone.
