Improve Heart Health

Watermelon is abundant in potassium and magnesium, two vital minerals that can help treat illnesses like high blood pressure. Consuming enough quantities of potassium and magnesium from a nutritious diet appears to be connected with enhanced heart health and a lower risk of mortality from heart disease, according to a study. According to a review published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, consuming enough potassium-rich foods like fruits and vegetables might improve blood pressure levels, which may help reduce the risk of illnesses like stroke and heart attacks.

According to new research, which includes findings from a 2019 study, drinking 100% watermelon juice is "a pleasant, effective approach of raising serum lycopene in older adult women, a group at risk for poor carotenoid consumption". Watermelon's advantages may also include reducing arterial stiffness, balancing cholesterol, and improving systolic blood pressure in persons with hypertension, according to research.
