What are the benefits of eating watermelon?

Watermelon is really a fruit with high nutritional value and powerful functions. It is also a very popular fruit in summer. So today I will tell you about the six benefits of watermelon:

1. Watermelon is sweet, cold and non-toxic

It not only "relieves restlessness, quenches thirst, and relieves summer heat", but also "relaxes the middle and lower qi, promotes urination, treats bloody diarrhea, detoxifies alcohol, and treats mouth sores".

It should also be noted that although watermelon is good, it is a cold food. If people with weak constitution and weak stomach eat too much, it is easy to cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. It should not be eaten with greasy food. If watermelon is eaten with warm food or drinks, the cold and heat will not be reconciled, which is easy to cause vomiting. After cutting the watermelon, it should be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise its sweet and juicy flesh is most likely to become an ideal "culture medium" for bacteria.

2. Nutritional Supplementation

Watermelon has the richest juice content among all fruits and vegetables, and its juice contains almost all the nutrients needed by the human body. It is extremely beneficial to human health.

3.Beauty, anti-aging

Watermelon juice is like a scavenger for the human body. It can eliminate metabolic products from the body, clean the kidneys and ureters, and at the same time activate the body's cells to achieve the effects of beauty and anti-aging.

4. Helps with protein absorption

Modern research has found that watermelon juice contains protease, which can convert insoluble protein into water-soluble protein to help the human body absorb protein.

5. Diuretic and blood pressure lowering, treatment of nephritis

The citrulline and arginine in watermelon can promote the formation of urea in rat liver and lead to diuresis. The glycosides of watermelon also have diuretic and antihypertensive effects. Watermelon contains a small amount of salt, which has a special therapeutic effect on nephritis.

6. Prevent Disease

Watermelon rind is very nutritious, containing glucose, malic acid, lycium barbarum, fructose, sucrase, protein amino acids, watermelon amino acids, lycopene and rich vitamin C, etc. It has the effects of anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive, promoting metabolism, reducing cholesterol deposition, softening and dilating blood vessels, and preventing scurvy, which can improve the body's disease resistance and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
