JUST IN :Uncover New Health Benefits of Watermelon

 

Two new studies explore the relationship between watermelon consumption and improved dietary habits in both children and adults, as well as the impact of watermelon juice on cardio-metabolic health.

Watermelon is indisputably a flavorful and nutrient-packed fruit. Now, new research further illuminates its vital role in boosting dietary quality and supporting heart health.

A recent study published in Nutrients suggests that watermelon can enhance nutrient absorption and the general quality of diet in both children and adults. This research, based on the analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), discovered that the overall quality of the diet was significantly better in individuals who consumed watermelon compared to those who did not.

According to the study, children and adult watermelon consumers had higher intakes of dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A as well as lycopene and other carotenoids, while they had lower intakes of added sugars and total saturated fatty acids. Research analyst and author on the study, Kristen Fulgoni, will present the research findings at Nutrition 2023, the American Society for Nutrition annual meeting, held July 22-25, 2023 in Boston.

In addition to the NHANES study, another new study also published in Nutrients builds on previous work in this area of research to show that watermelon juice supplementation protects vascular function during hyperglycemia.
