A popular fruit on a warm day, the crunchy watermelon is also extremely low in calories and great at helping dieters lose weight.
You can mix it with other fruits to form a refreshing fruit salad, or cut it into cubes and eat it on its own.
One reason why watermelon can help you to lose weight is that it is a very rich source of B vitamins, which increase your energy levels and reduce your need to eat extra foods (which you may be more tempted to do when you are feeling sluggish).
A watermelon contains virtually no fat and very few calories, so it’s unsurprising that it is an asset to anyone who is overweight.
Nutritionists working on the health benefits of eating watermelon also speculate that it might have the power to boost your metabolic rate to a higher level than other fruits, due to the fact that it contains so much fiber and protein.
If you need extra motivation to include more watermelon in your life, keep in mind that it is another great source of lycopene, the antioxidant that may protect the body against cancers of the womb, breast, colon and respiratory system.
