The SKINNY FRUIT FACTS ON WATERMELON
The SKINNY FRUIT FACTS ON WATERMELON
Consider offering a summer favorite, watermelon. Watermelons are an excellent source of several vitamins: vitamin A, which helps maintain eye health and is an antioxidant; vitamin C, which helps strengthen immunity, heal wounds, prevent cell damage, promotes healthy teeth and gums; and vitamin B6, which helps brain function and helps convert protein to energy.
While tomatoes are known for being a great source for lycopene, the highest concentrations of lycopene amongst fresh fruit or vegetable can be found in watermelon. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight heart disease and several types of cancer, in particular, prostate cancer. It is a great source of potassium, which helps: muscle and nerve function; maintains the body’s proper electrolyte and acid-base balance; and aids in lowering the risk of high blood pressure. Watermelon also contains the amino acids citrulline and arginine, which can help maintain arteries, blood flow and overall cardiovascular function.

I did not know that watermelon was so nutritional. I always thought it had no nutritional value at all. Thanks for writing the article.

Cocktail de sampanie cu pepene
Pune la racit doua cupe de sampanie. Umple o cana cu bucatele de pepenegalben foarte bine copt. Amesteca-le cu mixerul si toarna o jumatate decana de suc de portocale foarte rece, amestecand in continuare, pana cevei obtine o pasta omogena.
Toarna pasta in cele doua cupe, peste sampanie, si decoreaza-le cu cateo felie de lamaie.

The watermelon can create many interesting dietary foods that enliven and revive your current diet. Especially in the summer months you meals and refreshing watermelon fills up much better than a typical diet.
For the melon salad recipe we will need at least two types of melon. You should have both a watermelon (red pulp) and melon yellow pulp. They also will need strawberries, nectarine or peach, banana, mango and lemon. All fruit must be fresh. Fruit cut into small pieces and 1 / 3 are melon,
