Watermelon

Mmmmm....Watermelon has got to be up there in my top 5 favourite foods!.... not only is it delicious, and beautiful looking, but check out some interesting facts thanks to @TylerTolman.

Did you know....Your brain is 93% Water, A Watermelon is 93% Water Coincidence? I think Not!

The fluid inside a Watermelon can hydrate the brain faster than any other fruit and if you eat the seeds (which I do) They contain the Fats that build brain tissue and Function.

The seeds also contain protein. Who would have thought you could get a significant amount of protein from watermelon. But if you eat Ripe watermelon with the seeds that’s exactly what’s happning.

Now that’s Using My Melon ;0)

You will also get a perfect amount of Arginine when eating watermelons, tests have been shown to improve insulin problems in type 2 diabetes patients, not to mention that Arginine is one of the main Components that affects the body the same as Viagra (TM)… Yeeehaaaa Bring on the Melons ;0)

They also contain the largest portion of Lycopene in the western diet and have been studied for its antioxidant and cancer preventing properties and the list continues to grow including, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer.

Watermelon is rich in B vitamins that will “BOOST ENERGY”, in particular B1 and B6, magnesium and potassium. SO IF YOUR FEELING SLUGGISH GET INTO A MELON!!

Watermelons also produce an enzyme called tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, or TNAP. When TNAP activity is shut down, our fat cells (adipocytes) tend to create less fat (adipogenesis). DID YOU HEAR THAT? WATERMELON PREVENTS YOU FROM GETTING FATTER!!!
