Support Immunity

Watermelon eating has been associated with decreased inflammation and increased antioxidant capacity in animal studies. Lycopene, one of the carotenoids abundant in this fruit, has powerful antioxidant capabilities and can aid in the reduction of oxidative stress. According to the current study, it may also help keep your heart healthy, as well as protect against some forms of cancer, cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes, and macular diseases.

Eating it has also been shown in studies to raise levels of arginine, a key amino acid involved in the creation of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide not only helps widen your arteries to keep blood flowing properly and reduces the risk of high blood pressure, but it also plays a role in immune system regulation. This fruit is also high in vitamin C, a crucial element that acts as an antioxidant as well as an immune booster to keep your body healthy. Antioxidants can aid in the battle against free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage and stress.
