Melon for strong bones and glowing skin!

Among other things, melon provides 3 other valuable nutrients that are essential for bone health:

- Folic acid: It is essential for the breakdown of homocysteine, high levels of which are associated with reduced bone density.

- Vitamin K: Involved in the production of an important bone building protein called osteocalcin. Adequate intake of it through the diet is therefore necessary for skeletal health. One serving of melon provides 6% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin K.

- Magnesium : The cells that undertake the building of bone tissue need it to function properly. This is why it is important that levels of this metal remain high in the body.

In addition to the health of your bones though, melon also helps your skin health! More specifically, it helps the skin stay glowing and beautiful, mainly due to its high vitamin C content. This particular vitamin not only helps strengthen your immune system and protect against infections. It also plays a key role in the function of collagen, the famous protein that regenerates skin tissues. Finally, vitamin C has a powerful antioxidant effect and shields the skin against the sun's harmful rays. 

So enjoy the sun and summer with a slice of melon!
