The Perks
Watermelon contains L-citrulline, which helps in the fight against cancer and lycopene, which protects the heart. It also contains electrolytes that are important for hydratation of the body and that are responsible for the replacement of the minerals that are lost through sweating during hot days or after a workout.
It’s also high in vitamins A and B6, as well as protein and fiber. This fruit can be even used as a medicine against oxidative stress, diabetes, cancer, and macular disorders (1). For best results, pick your own watermelon and make large cubes of it before freezenig it.
On the other hand, coconut water is helpful for lowering cholesterol and regulating blood pressure. It is also rehydrating the body and improving digestion (2,3).
Additionally, coconut water has enough sugar to satisfy the cravings for sugar and it is abundant with B vitamins. It also has essential minerals, as well as organic acids, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
