The hot summer days are approaching, when we definitely need a list of products and drinks to refresh and quench our thirst. One of them is the melon. It is a good source of vitamins B and C, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, selenium and germanium - a rare and valuable trace element that is believed to maintain the youth of the cell.
Like the cucumber, the melon has a high fluid content - 67%, and a relatively low caloric content - 42 kcal per 100 g. A few unloading days with the fruit in the melon season will free you from extra pounds.
If we overdo it with fatty foods during the day, for example, eating melon as a snack will free our body from extra excess cholesterol.
In addition, a few pieces of melon can help improve kidney function, as well as those of the liver, help eliminate harmful substances in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as cleanse the blood, capillaries and blood vessels.
The composition of the juicy fruit also includes folic acid, which stimulates the formation of blood cells from the bone marrow and supports the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. To meet the body's needs for folic acid, it is necessary to eat 150 g of melon every day.
200 g of the fruit per day is recommended for headaches, as the pieces are kept in the mouth and chewed slowly.
