the wonder of watermelon
Juicy watermelon is not only a great treat on a hot summer day, but the health benefits of this nutrient-powerhouse are plentiful…
Two cups of watermelon packs a mean punch – for only 80 calories you get a thirst quencher that really fills you up, and contains:
- anti-inflammatory properties to help with conditions like arthritis, atherosclerosis, auto-immune disorders, asthma, diabetes, and some digestive issues
- 2g fiber
- 50% recommended daily intake of vitamin C
- 20% recommended daily intake of vitamins A and B6
- 15% recommended daily intake of vitamin B1 (thiamin)
- 10% recommended daily intake of potassium and magnesium
