The normal reaction for most people when
they come in from the sun is to grab a bottle of Soda and down it one go. It is
refreshing right? Wrong, it is harmful so why don’t you get refreshed in the
right way by grabbing a jug of cool water melon juice. It has immense health
benefits so here goes.
Water melon is delicious and extremely
healthy, they are rich in potassium, a nutrient that can help control blood
pressure, regulate heart beat and possibly prevent strokes. It reduces the risk
of developing kidney stones and possibly age related bone loss. Adult should at
least consume about 4,700 milligrams of water melon per day. They are also
abundant in vitamin c and beta-carotene , which is believed to prevent heart
diseases, cancer, and other chronic conditions. Water melon is a valuable
source of lycopene, one of the carotenoids that have actually been studiedand
proven to be of immense health benefits to the human body. Research shows that
lycopen is helpful in reducing the risk of prostrate, breast and endometrial
cancers as well as lung and colon cancer. Watermelon contains Vitamin A which
helps maintain eye health and is an anti-oxidant, Vitamin C which helps
strengthen immunity, heals wounds, prevent cell damage, promote healthy teeth
and guns and Vitamin B6 which helps brain function and helps convert protein to
energy.
Water melon can be taken either whole or as
