I bet that most of us love watermelon..I mean, what’s not to love? It always reminds me of summer cookouts with the family, and happy times. I love watermelon season. But the best part about it is all the health benefits that the fruit provides.

What are the benefits of watermelon?

According to researchers in the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), watermelon is full of antioxidants and lycopene. Lycopene is a natural chemical that makes certain fruits and vegetables red. It is said to be a great source of antioxidants and also helps with blood pressure. This means that consuming watermelon is beneficial for the health of your organs, cells, and nervous system.

The research states that antioxidants in watermelon help your body fight unwanted intruders and help keep your skin cells healthy. The non-protein amino acids repair your body tissue, help to regulate your blood pressure, and assists in digestion.

“Our research continues to find that the fruit contains a wide range of nutrients that improve your overall health.” According to Larry Parnell, a USDA-ARS scientist.
