Besides being refreshing, watermelon provides several nutrients that can contribute to a balanced diet.
It provides:
- Vitamin C, which supports normal immune function
- Vitamin A, which contributes to normal vision and skin health
- Potassium, which helps maintain normal muscle function
- Lycopene, a naturally occurring antioxidant compound
- A high water content, which contributes to daily fluid intake
Because it is naturally low in calories and contains a high amount of water, watermelon can be a refreshing choice for snacking, especially during warm weather.
