Watermelons are high in vitamin C though they
are not really sour(thus adding them to the family of melons) which is known
after research to prevent hardening of the arteries and increases elasticity of
blood vessels. This helps in preventing high blood pressure and heart disease.
Again watermelons contain a less known chemical
namely CITRULLINE. This chemical gets onverted to Arginine after reaching the
kidneys.
Arginine is an amino acid that works for heart
health and helps in maintaining a good immune system. The more this conversion
takes place, the less fat is apt to accumulate in the cells, helping to keep
obesity and type 2 diabetes from becoming issues.Arginine also removes ammonia and other
toxicities from your body.
The antioxidant lycopene is the star player in
watermelon, a compound now known to pack even more of a punch than tomatoes,
pink grapefruit, and guavas. While most of these fruits get their reddish color
from anthocyanin flavonoids, it's the lycopene content that does it for
watermelon.
What does this do for the body? this compound,
protects and nourishes the heart, prostate, and skin
