Eating watermelon improves heart health, metabolism, and nutritional quality.

These conclusions were made by American scientists during a two-week study involving 18 people. It turned out that the antioxidants contained in watermelon juice, vitamin C and lycopene inhibit oxidative processes and are useful for the prevention of diseases of the cardiovascular system. In addition, the volunteers began to eat better in general. They began to include more vitamins, dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium and other beneficial compounds in the diet.
