Question: What are the health benefits of watermelon?
Answer:
Summertime means fun outdoors and eating lots of juicy watermelon. In addition to being a favorite treat, watermelon offers many health benefits, including being packed full of vitamins A and C, and potassium.
Watermelon contains the amino acid L-citruline, which your body converts to L-arginie. This amino acid conversion helps ease sore muscles and improves circulation. Watermelon may also improve cardiovascular health in postmenopausal women. Research is currently being conducted to see if the antioxidant lycopene, which is found in watermelon, may help prevent prostrate cancer.
