It is now that time of year for it. Fresh and tasty, it is a summer time favorite. In fact, ask yourself this question: “Have you ever once heard anyone say they do not like watermelon?”
Watermelon is not only a tasty, refreshing fruit, but it has some major health benefits. Men, in particular, should be adding it to the “Must Eat” list. Here are 3 reasons why:
- Watermelon is high in antioxidants. Therefore, it can elevate the immune system as well as prevent dehydration.
- It is a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. The former will also help elevate the immune system as well as clear any time of inflammation. Vitamin B6 will improve the quality of the blood and also is considered one of the “foods” for adrenal support
- Lastly – this is where men should take note – watermelon is a good source of the carotenoid lycopene. Lycopene, along with zinc is a great substance to keep the prostate healthy.
And women will love it as newer evidence suggests that consuming Lycopene can help prevent breast cancer.
Wins across the board here. Watermelon is delicious and nutritious.
