Big berry season

During the season, it is a sin not to use the gifts of nature to fill the body with vitamins. Fruits are a huge source of all kinds of useful substances. Using them every day, we rejuvenate our body and become more energetic. Another great benefit of fruits is that they prevent many diseases and help us maintain good health for many years. We will now talk about one of these fruits. This is a watermelon - a huge berry available to us from mid-summer to the end of September.

 

Therapist of the highest category, gastroenterologist of the Medical Network "Dobrobut" Angela Korin : "There are no contraindications to the use of watermelons (of good quality, of course). Patients with diabetes can also include watermelon in their diet. It is only necessary to remember that this product belongs to the group with the content of 5-10 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. The same group includes grapefruit, apricots, oranges, tangerines, pears, peaches, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. They are recommended to consume no more than 200 g per day.

 

What is the benefit of watermelon?

  • The most valuable thing in a watermelon is its flesh. It contains the following vitamins: B1, B2, C, PP, folic acid, carotene. In addition, watermelon contains fiber, as well as trace elements: potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, etc. But one of the most valuable elements of this fruit is magnesium. It removes excess cholesterol from the body, thereby ensuring the elasticity of blood vessels, prevents the formation of stones, normalizes the work of the intestines, preserves muscle elasticity and prevents osteoporosis.
  • Watermelon is a strong diuretic. It is recommended to use it to eliminate swelling in cardiovascular disorders. Watermelon juice and pulp are taken for cystitis, nephritis and pyelonephritis. It does not irritate the urinary tract and, unlike other diuretics, does not wash out potassium from the body.
  • Watermelon juice perfectly "cleanses" the liver, removing toxins from it. It supplies liver tissue with sugars, so watermelon is effective in chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, and biliary tract dyskinesia.
  • Since watermelon pulp has the ability to absorb toxins, it helps to improve the intestinal microflora.
  • Watermelon is also good for anemia, rheumatism, atherosclerosis, gout, hypertension, arthritis and obesity.

With all its indisputable advantages, it should be remembered that watermelons should not be enjoyed by people with increased acidity, as well as with diseases of the pancreas. People with heart disease, diabetes and those with kidney stones should use watermelon with caution.
