4. Watermelon
Sweet, juicy and refreshing, there's no need to wait for a summer picnic to enjoy a piece of watermelon. Available throughout the year, watermelon supports whole-body wellness with vitamins A, B6 and C, plus potassium, magnesium, thiamine and phosphorus.
Watermelon also contains lycopene, a carotenoid that's been shown to promote heart health. Researchers are currently studying lycopene's potential to reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension.3Li, Xinli, and Jiuhong Xu. ‘Lycopene Supplement and Blood Pressure: an Updated Meta-Analysis of Intervention Trials.’ Nutrients, MDPI, 18 Sept. 2013, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3798929/ Comprised of 92 percent water, watermelon offers a nutrient-dense boost of hydration and happiness.
