May Promote Proper Digestion

Fiber, a substance well known for aiding digestive health, is found in honeydew melon. Adequate dietary fiber consumption decreases blood sugar response, enhances bowel regularity, and encourages the development of beneficial gut flora. A single cup (177 grams) contains around 1.5 grams of fiber or about 5% of the RDI.

Even though many other fruits have more fiber per serving, honeydew can help you meet your daily fiber requirements. In fact, for some persons with digestive difficulties or those who are adding or returning fiber into their diet for the first time, a lower-fiber fruit like honeydew may be tolerated better than other high-fiber meals.
