Even though the season has not started yet "real"
watermelon can be found in various markets, or trucks on the road ... exept for
being a refreshing addition to real summer, watermelon is a good source of
vitamins and health.
Watermelon is rich in likopen, antioxidant which gives it
its red color, and reduces the risk of creating prostate cancer.
At the same time it protects you from heart disease and
cancer of the cervix and ovary, and it is estimated that improves infertility.
Besides that contains large amounts of vitamin A, B and C,
watermelon is rich in water (about 92%) and helps regulate body mass because it
contains more calories.
Exactly, 100 gr watermelon contains 10 percent sugar, 90
percent water, 20 betakaroten milligrams, 0.5 milligrams of iron, seven
milligrams calcium, 10 milligrams phosphorus and about 20 calories.
If you want to extract from watermelon as much health
benefit, do not store it in the refrigerator. Although it is more convenient if
it is cold, so he will lose up to 40 percent of likopen. It is best to be
stored at room temperature. However, if you’ve opened it then keep it refrigerated.
