Watermelon is packed full of goodness, is low calorie and just bursting with vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E and lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid – a powerful antioxidant that gives the watermelon it’s great colour too! Lycopene is important for heart health, helping to reduce cholesterol, male fertility- improving sperm quality and also in hydration.
Watermelon is great to reach for after a work out too as it contains the restorative amino acid l-citrulline. Packed with potassium watermelons help regulate nerve function- if you get night time leg cramps reach for a watermelon juice!
