10 Health Benefits of Watermelon
Health Benefit #1: Improves Hydration
Many people don’t take in as much water as their body needs. This can have negative effects on body functions including digestion. Fortunately, watermelon is not only delicious but is 92 percent water. This means that you can improve your body’s hydration by eating more watermelon. Note also that similar to other fruits, the water in watermelon makes you feel full even when you haven’t eaten a lot of food. The fullness is enhanced by the fiber in watermelon.
Watermelon also replenishes electrolytes, which are lost when you sweat. Proper electrolyte balance is necessary for various functions including energy production and muscle function.
