Many of us like melons. But do you know how useful they are?
1. Melons have more vitamins than watermelons. The most useful one is folic acid or vitamin B9 which is especially important for pregnant women. Melons are also rich in vitamins E, C, B2 and B6. All of them strengthen immune system, improve your hair, skin and nails.
2. Melons help to stay young. Vitamins C and E prevent production of harmful substance that can cause death of cells and effectively protect against aging.
3. Melons clean intestines. They are especially beneficial for those suffering from constant constipation.
4. Melons refresh your skin. They promote production of urine and bile. If you eat melon in the evening, in the morning you will see that your skin color became much more beautiful. You can also make a mask from melon. Smash a slice of melon and apply on your face. Wait for 7-10 minutes and rinse with cool water.
5. Melons improve your mood. They contain substances that promote production of serotonin (which is also called a hormone of happiness). If you have a bad mood, eat a slice of melon and it will improve instantly.
Note: if you don’t want to gain weight, you should eat melon as a separate meal. Also you shouldn’t drink after it. This way you will avoid problems with gut (bloating, abdomen pain and digestion disorders).
