Watermelon:

​

  • Helps You Hydrate.

​

Drinking water is an important way to keep your body hydrated.

However, eating foods that have a high water content can also help. Interestingly, watermelon is 92% water.

What’s more, a high water content is one of the reasons why fruits and vegetables help you feel full.

The combination of water and fiber means you're eating a good volume of food without a lot of calories.

​

As far as fruits go, watermelon is one of the lowest in calories — only 46 calories per cup (154 grams). That's lower than even low-sugar fruits such as berries.

One cup (154 grams) of watermelon has many other nutrients as well, including these vitamins and minerals:

  • Vitamin C: 21% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)

  • Vitamin A: 18% of the RDI

  • Potassium: 5% of the RDI

  • Magnesium: 4% of the RDI

  • Vitamins B1, B5 and B6: 3% of the RDI

Watermelon is also high in carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lycopene. Plus, it has citrulline, an important amino acid.
