Watermelon has been appreciated for its health benefits for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, for example, they found watermelons buried next to King Tut, most likely to keep him hydrated on his journey after life. It's a perfect food for hot summer weather particularly due to its high water content (almost 92%!) and abundance of electrolytes. Watermelon boasts copious amounts of vitamin A (good for hair and skin), vitamin C (boosts immune system and promotes collagen growth), and also contains amino acids, fiber and potassium. Interestingly, this special fruit has more lycopene (a super-antioxidant) than any other fruit or vegetable! Lycopene is special because it's known to protect DNA, skin, prostate and bones and may even help lower the risk of heart disease, according to a study at Purdue University.
