Watermelon: taste of summer, taste of hydration & health!

It is good for your heart

The nutrients of watermelon also act beneficially for the heart. According to scientific studies, the fruit that came to us from South Africa, is rich in lycopene. It is an antioxidant found in watermelon, which lowers cholesterol and blood pressure levels, maintaining elasticity in the arteries. 

Your post-workout ally

Another rich ingredient for which watermelon is famous is citrulline. It has the property of reducing muscle aches, while helping pulses to return to normal faster, after intense physical exertion.

Health "shield" for beautiful hair & healthy skin

Two of the vitamins contained in watermelon, A and C, play an important role in skin and hair health. Vitamin A contributes to the production and reconstruction of skin cells, which is why, when vitamin A levels are low, the skin becomes dry and peels off. On the other hand, vitamin C promotes the production of collagen, the well-known protein that keeps the skin elastic and hair strong.

The best option for dessert

Watermelon is the best choice for dessert thanks to its fiber. In fact, combined with its high water content, they help you in smooth digestion.

So I wish you a pleasant and summer enjoyment!
