Bolster your immunity with the wonders of watermelon

Summers are incomplete without a bowl of refreshing watermelon salad! But did you know, the fruit comes with a slew of health benefits that help strengthen your immunity?

This summer fruit is rich in Vitamin A, C and potassium- nutrients needed by the body to ward off any kind of infection. Vitamin C bolsters the immune system, Vitamin A helps you achieve radiant skin and potassium lowers blood sugar levels.

The levels of an antioxidant called lycopene in watermelon are higher than any other fruit or vegetable! The chemical gives it the stunning red hue and is linked to decreased risk of age-related eye problems, cancer and heart disease.

The next time you get your hands on a juicy watermelon, make sure you don’t throw away the seeds. They are storehouses of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, copper, and potassium.
