May Boost Your Immune System

Vitamin C is perhaps best known for its role in immune function, and honeydew melon is high in it. The human immune system is complicated and requires a wide range of nutrients to operate effectively - vitamin C is one of them.

Indeed, evidence shows that high dietary vitamin C intake may both prevent and cure a variety of respiratory and systemic diseases, including pneumonia and the common cold. A 1-cup (177-gram) portion of honeydew has more than half of the RDI for vitamin C, making it an excellent fruit to include in your diet as you prepare for the next cold season.
