Watermelon - fruit - tips

Watermelon

As its name implies, this fruit is a hydration hero, and fluids are exactly what you need when the heat is on. "Watermelon's high water content keeps you cool and hydrated," says Boston-based registered dietitian Janel Funk, MS, RD, LDN, who runs the website Eat Well With Janel. That same high water content will also keep you feeling full, which could curb cravings. As an added summer bonus, "Watermelon also contains lycopene, which protects skin cells from sun damage," says Funk.
