Watermelon is your go-to fruit for weight loss.
Its high in water content (over 90%) & a 100g serving just contains 30 calories.
The best thing about watermelon is that not only does it keep you hydrated, but it will also keep you satiated for a long time, which leads to less unhealthy snacking.
The rest is loaded with nutrients, especially antioxidants...including vitamin A, vitamin C & lycopene, which helps to neutralize free radicals.
Watermelon is related to cucumbers & pumpkin.
Watermelons grow along the ground on vines which can reach up to three metres in length.
Watermelons contain large quantities of lycopene - an anti-oxidant know to protect against prostate cancer.
Watermelon is not nearly as high in sugar as most people think as it has half the sugar than an apple
It doesn’t just have to be eaten by the slice – it is also fantastic in salads, salsas, desserts, cocktails & all manner of other tasty summer recipes.
Don't spit the pips out, think of them as added fibre.
