Should Watermelon be Part of your Summer Diet?


Watermelon is a fun, nutritious way to make sure active kids don't get dehydrated; it's 92 percent water. But does it provide any real value and should it be part of your diet from a nurition and health standpoint

Watermelon is fat-free and also contains fiber. Its beautiful red color comes from all-natural lycopene, an antioxidant that can help keep kids' bodies healthy. A 1 cup serving of watermelon is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C, and it provides 7 percent of the recommended daily value of potassium, with only 40 calories.
