It is also incredibly hydrating (up to 92% water!) and is naturally low-fat.Watermelon is very good for your cardiovascular heath and help to boost your immune system.



 The lycopene in watermelon is especially important for our cardiovascular health and is now being recognized as an important factor in promoting bone health. Consuming large amounts of watermelon has also been correlated with improved cardiovascular function because it improves blood flow via vasodilation (relaxation of blood pressure). Dietary lycopene (from foods like watermelon or tomatoes) reduces oxidative stress which normally reduces the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts (the two major bone cells involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis) – this means stronger bones for those consuming lycopene-rich foods. Watermelon is also rich in potassium which helps to retain calcium in your body, resulting in stronger bones and joints.The citrulline in watermelon has been shown to reduce the accumulation of fat in our fat cells.Watermelon is rich in phenolic compounds like flavonoids, carotenoids, and triterpenoids. The carotenoid lycopene in watermelon is particularly beneficial in reducing inflammation and neutralizing free radicals. The tripterpenoid cucurbitacin E is also present in watermelon, which provides anti-inflammatory support by blocking activity of cyclo-oxygenase enzymes which normally lead to increased inflammatory support. Make sure you pick ripe watermelons, because they contain higher amounts of these beneficial phenolic compounds.
Watermelon is a wonderful source of beta-carotene (that rich red hue of watermelon = beta carotene) which is converted in the body to vitamin A. It helps produce the pigments in the retina of the eye and protects against age-related mascular degeneration as well as prevents night blindness. Vitamin A also maintains healthy skin, teeth, skeletal and soft tissue, and mucus membranes.
To make this healthy fruit more yummy here is today's delicious summer cooler yummy tangy watermelon juice. I am sure you all will like it.

To make morning healthy delicious today I make this awesome Coffee Banana Smoothie.Some think bananas are just for monkeys but hopefully not so give it a thought reading the benefits and then the recipe. I am sure you will never say no to it.Banana is loaded with goodness and it very good fruit to start the morning with.Banana have high level of tryptophan which help to overcome depression and is converted into serotonin....the happy - mood brain transmitter.It also helps against muscle cramps during work out and night cramps.Banana helps to build strong bones and reduce swelling, protects against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high level of vitamin B6. Strengthen your blood and relieve anemia with the added iron.Coffee too have some health benefit. Though many will say that coffee loaded with caffeine is not at all good but recent study shows that Caffeine's primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function. Coffee contains a decent amount of several vitamins and minerals. It is also the biggest source of antioxidants in the modern diet. So when you will have coffee banana smoothie in the morning it is obvious it will give you a kick start.But it also true that I am not recommending the drink all days but once in a week you can relish this healthy luxury.
