Watermelonすいか · Suika · แตงโม

Watermelon is a primary source of bioavailable lycopene, a carotenoid linked to reduced risk of prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. It also contains L-citrulline, an amino acid that serves as a precursor to L-arginine, facilitating nitric oxide production and enhancing vasodilation for improved blood flow. While its glycemic index is relatively high, its low glycemic load per serving makes it a metabolic-friendly option for hydration and recovery.

Overview

A hydrating fruit high in water content and lycopene, supporting cardiovascular health and thermal regulation.

Food note

It is traditionally used for its cooling properties and as a natural source of electrolytes to prevent heat exhaustion during summer. Due to its high water content and natural sugars It is best consumed fresh to maintain its crisp texture and nutrient profile.
