Aug. 3 Is NationalWatermelon Day

By Emily BeardThis month I am writing about the

health benefits of eating watermelonbecause Aug. 3 is NationalWatermelon Day!

As many of you know, keeping yourbody properly hydrated is importantfor your everyday health. An easy wayto do this is by drinking water;however, eating foods that have highwater content can also help!Interestingly, watermelon is 92percent water!

High water content is one of thereasons that fruits and vegetableshelp you feel full and is also why youare able to eat large amounts withouta lot of calories. As far as fruits go,watermelon is one of the lowest incalories—only 46 calories per cup!

There are five common types ofwatermelon: seeded, seedless, mini(thumb size), yellow and orange.

Health Benefits of Watermelon:• Protects against kidney damage• Reduces wrinkles and age spots

on the skin• Lowers body temperature and

prevents heat stroke• Lowers blood pressure• Prevents cancer• Improves heart function• Protects eyes and prevents

macular degenerationLycopene is the powerful

carotenoid antioxidant that giveswatermelon its pinkish/reddish coloras well as all of its health benefits.High blood levels of lycopene havebeen proven to prevent againsta stroke!
