THE WONDERS
OF WATERMELON

This popular snack is deliciously good for you
Warmer weather is around the corner and with it a favorite snack: juicy, thirstquenching watermelon. But did you know that this tasty treat is also bursting with
nutrition and health benefits?
Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C, a known immunebooster. It is packed with lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce the risk
of cancer and other diseases.
It has heart-healthy benefits, too, thanks to citrulline and arginine. These amino
acids can help relax blood vessels, maintain cardiovascular function and strengthen
the immune system.
Watermelon is also a good source of potassium and contains no cholesterol,
sodium or fat. Considering how good it is for you, what could be better on a hot
day than a refreshing slice of watermelon?
