05.01.2022 We have all heard of the amazing delicious watermelon but do many of us know just how great this fruit actually is for our health!! Now is the best time to start looking after our health. Here are just a couple of health issues the Aussie watermelon can assist with. Asthma prevention... Some experts believe that free radicals contribute to the development of asthma. The presence of certain antioxidants in the lungs, including vitamin C, may reduce the risk of having asthma. Studies have not confirmed that taking vitamin C supplements can help prevent asthma, but a diet that is rich in vitamin C may offer some protection. A cup of watermelon balls weighing around 154 grams (g) provides 12.5 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, or between 14% and 16% of a persons daily needs. Metabolic syndrome In 2019, researchers published findings indicating that watermelon may improve features of metabolic syndrome, including obesity and cardiovascular measures. In the study, 33 people with overweight or obesity consumed either 2 cups of watermelon or low-fat cookies each day for 4 weeks. The people who ate watermelon reported feeling less hungry and more satisfied for longer than those who ate the cookies. In addition, after 4 weeks, those who ate watermelon had: higher levels of antioxidants in their blood lower body weight and body mass index (BMI) lower systolic blood pressure improved waist-to-hip ratio Those who ate the cookies had higher levels of oxidative stress than the watermelon group. Their blood pressure and body fat also increased. The results suggest that watermelon may be a good choice of snack for people with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Lets spread the word on how beneficial to our health the Aussie Watermelon actually is. Please share! #weloveaussiemelon #healthy #makinghealthychoices #watermelon #aussiefarmers #horticulture
