It has some pretty good health benefits too! It is packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, Potassium and Magnesium….whew….that’s a whole lot of goodness! Watermelon has no cholesterol, and virtually no fat….and did I mention it has concentrated sources of carotenoid lycopene? Studies have shown that watermelon has the highest sources of lycopene over any other fruit or vegetable. The Vitamin C and Vitamin A are powerful antioxidants that travel through your body neutralizing free-radicals. We all know Lymies want nothing more than to ditch those free-radicals!! Out with the bad I say and if it tastes good in the process…even better!
Ok….so if that doesn’t entice you to grab a fresh chilled slice of watermelon….I don’t know what will!!

I enjoy watermelon too...have it with meals and as a snack..But I did not realize how good it is for us....Now that I am off of abx and on herbs my yeast issues are not so high and I can eat more fruit again...WooHoo!
Always enjoy the info your share here..
Funny you should say that. I just had watermelon the last two days. It was delicious. I've also been drinking a lot of watermelon juice. I had no idea of all the health benifits for us lymies though. I just figured it was fruit so it couldn't hurt.
