Fabulous Watermelon Diet

The watermelon is a noble fruit that has many properties, is a diuretic, detoxifying, and anti-cancer and helps reduce high cholesterol levels. 

Contains vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C and potassium. It produces a satiating effect, being rich in fiber and low in sodium and water. 

It is considered the perfect summer fruit because it contains about 90 or 95% water. Your calorie intake is low, about 32 calories per 100 grams. 

They say that watermelon is the ideal fruit for diabetics; it is low in sugar and carbohydrates. 

Its high potassium content helps regulate blood pressure and cardiac functions and even their seeds have curative value, since it was discovered that chewing prevent prostate problems. 
As noted earlier, the watermelon is a diuretic, meaning that facilitates the rapid removal of fluid, which is why this fruit helps with weight loss.
