It has a high water content, which makes it an excellent choice for keeping the body hydrated. In fact, it is one of the most hydrating fruits in existence as it contains approximately 92% water.
Watermelon is perfect for preventing dehydration during the hottest summer days. We suggest you hydrate the little ones in a very natural way with juices, ice cream or in small pieces at any time.
It is also perfect for preventing heat stroke in the elderly. Offering them watermelon will keep them refreshingly hydrated.
And let’s not forget about sportsmen and women. After a workout, don’t forget to hydrate yourself in a very natural way. A juice will help you recover from water loss during the session and help your muscles recover from the effort.
Controls blood pressure
Contains citrulline which helps lower blood pressure. This component is converted to arginine in the body and in turn produces nitric oxide which is a natural vasodilator that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
If you have problems keeping your blood pressure at healthy levels, watermelon will be a great ally to achieve this and, most importantly, to maintain it over time.
It is low in calories
If you are trying to keep your weight under control, watermelon is an excellent choice. Despite its sweet taste, it is very low in calories (about 46 calories per dessert plate).
It is also fat and cholesterol free, making it perfect for maintaining heart health. The fibre it provides will help you to feel more satiated and prevent snacking between meals. Remember that you can not only eat it as a dessert. It offers many possibilities as a star ingredient. Have you tried barbecued watermelon on an avocado and cream cheese toast? Or maybe you fancy a watermelon ceviche? You can incorporate it into any low-calorie recipe and turn it into a delicious snack.
Strengthens bones
It contains a significant amount of calcium, an essential component for maintaining healthy teeth and bones. In addition, the vitamin C it contains will help the absorption of calcium.
Therefore, eating watermelon helps prevent osteoporosis and other bone-related diseases. This fruit is perfect for children because it will help them to grow in a healthy way and for older children to keep their bone health in shape.
Aids digestion
Watermelon’s high fibre content helps to regulate the digestive system, prevent constipation and reduce the risk of digestive diseases. It is perfect when we feel bloated after a large meal and will help us to detoxify the body.
Eating watermelon for breakfast is perfect for starting the day by activating the digestive system and keeping it active throughout the day.
Anti-inflammatory properties
It contains lycopene which, together with vitamin C, helps to reduce inflammation. It may seem to you that watermelon contains magical ingredients, but the truth is that it has nothing to do with magic but with all the good that nature has to offer. Providing the body with natural ingredients will help to better assimilate nutrients.
It will make your heart pound
