Healthy Benefits Of Water Melon: A must Read

With Refernce to my research  so far on food microbiology on the internet, I found the healthy benefits of eating water melon. I will advice everyone to be eating water melon at least twice a week. It has many health benefits which are explained below:

Asthma – The antioxidants, such as Citrulline in watermelon can reduce toxins in the body. Some of these toxins are believed to trigger asthma attacks.

Arthritis – Watermelon is rich in Vitamin C and Beta-Carotenes. Both have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve the symptoms of arthritis.

Bladder Problems – Containing 92% water, this melon acts as a natural diuretic that cleanses your kidney and bladder.

High Cholesterol – The cleansing properties of watermelon may also reduce the risk of clogged arteries. The fruit is also believed to increase HDL (good cholesterol levels).

Constipation – A glass of watermelon juice can naturally eliminate waste and promote proper digestion.

Bloating – Again, the diuretic effect of watermelon can eliminate water retention. It is especially recommended for women who retain fluids during menstruation or pregnancy.

Heart Disease – Watermelon contains Folic acid and Citrulline that works in tandem with other essential vitamins. Some research indicates that these vitamins may reduce the risk of a heart attack, stroke and colon cancer.

Itchy Skin – As the water from the melon cleanses your system, it can flush out the toxic waste that cause some forms of itchiness.

Prostate Cancer – The Lycopene in watermelon has been extensively reported to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Blemishes – Watermelon can also be used as a beauty aid to reduce skin blemishes. Simply rub your skin with a small piece of watermelon. Leave the juice on for 10 minutes before rinsing.
