Scientists recommend the best summer fruit for hydration and health

Refreshing, sweet and full of nutrients, this fruit is not only a favorite fruit and an integral part of Balkan summer. New scientific data shows that watermelon can significantly contribute to heart health and overall well-being of the body.

According to recent research, people who regularly consume watermelon have a higher intake of essential nutrients, such as fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and lycopene. These are components that contribute to the proper functioning of the body and increase the quality of nutrition in both children and adults.

Studies show that consuming it can help lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation. The "secret" seems to be L-citrulline, an amino acid found naturally in watermelon. This substance helps the body produce nitric oxide, a molecule that helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Experts estimate that regular consumption of watermelon, as part of a balanced diet, can support the prevention of cardiovascular disease and be an additional "weapon" for heart protection.

Another important advantage of watermelon is its high water content. More than 90% of its weight is made up of water, which makes it an ideal choice for hot summer days. Proper hydration is essential for regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and maintaining energy throughout the day. At the same time, the lycopene it contains, the same powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes, helps fight oxidative stress. /CNA
