Watermelon is a seasonal fruit which is very easily available in the market in the ‘summer’ season. Watermelon is loved by many of us! It is a great source to beat the scorching heat and stay hydrated throughout. It is believed that watermelon is just water and sugar but then that’s not true!
Watermelon has so much more to it. It is a casket of nutrients, vitamin & minerals. It contains Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, Fibre, Protein, and lots of Potassium. It prevents Heat Strokes, helps regulate Blood Pressure, prevents Cancer, controls Diabetes and reduces other Heart Problems too. My God! The fruit has so many benefits and we’d always thought of it as a yummy sweet fruit only.
