Watermelon is a refreshing fruit full of healthy vitamins.
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a deliciously healthy fruit, soaked with nutrients, low in calories and is free of fat. When eaten in reasonable amounts watermelon is good for you and provides many health benefits. You can eat all parts of the watermelon including the rind and seeds.
A watermelon is approximately 92% water according to Healthline. Each juicy bite has significant levels of vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin Clots of lycopene, antioxida and amino acids. Watermelon even contains a modest amount of potassium.
"Foods that are high in antioxidants and amino acids allow your body to function optimally," said Angela Lemond, a Texas-based registered dietitian, nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics "Amino acids are the basic building block for protein, and protein is used in virtually every vital function in the body."
