Turkish nutritionists have revealed the benefits of drinking watermelon in the summer, Haberturk reports.
The optimum daily intake of this fruit is 2-3 portions and depends on the individual's specific features: gender, health, physical activity, height and weight.
Portion of 200 grams of watermelon, which contains 50-60 calories, cool in the summer heat and at the same time satisfies the desire for jam.
Everyone can consume watermelon. However, it should not be forgotten that, like all fruit and watermelon, it contains fructose. Therefore, diabetic patients should not over-eat and can afford at most one serving a day. Because of the high water content and diuretic action, people who have kidney problems should also be careful.
The recommended daily intake of 2-3 servings of watermelon completely satisfies the body's need for fruits and the fibers contained in it help digestion and bowel functions.

Like most red berries and watermelon contains Anthocyanin and Lycopene, which help protect against cardiovascular diseases and cancer (especially prostate).

Watermelon has a high content of vitamin C and folic acid. Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants and slows down aging and also prevents diseases.

Red berries reduce inflammation in the body, and flavonoids in them also have antioxidant properties.
