It turns out that the melon is one of the most useful fruits. Its valuable nutrients support many organs and systems. We will not be mistaken if we call it the "fruit of paradise." In addition, it loses weight!

Useful nutrients in melon
Ripe melon contains fast carbohydrates - glucose, fructose and sucrose. The flesh is rich in B vitamins, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, selenium and other substances that have a beneficial effect on hematopoietic organs, cardiovascular system, endocrine glands. Melon nourishes the thymus and thyroid gland, and their good functioning keeps the immune system in working order.

Melon starch and pectin are not absorbed in the digestive system. They have the ability to absorb harmful substances in the intestines and remove them from the body. Melon improves intestinal peristalsis and the excretory properties of the digestive system.

Melon is especially useful with its high content of folic acid. Folic acid stimulates the formation of blood cells from the bone marrow and supports the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. One hundred and fifty grams of melon satisfies the body's needs for folic acid for the day, which makes it an absolutely suitable fruit for women planning a pregnancy, pregnant women, children and people with chronic diseases.

The same weight saturates the body with potassium, magnesium and an extremely rare mineral germanium, which are needed by the heart, kidneys. The content of potassium and magnesium in melon is much higher than in cucumber, pear or cabbage. These trace elements have a blood pressure and cholesterol lowering effect. And germanium is a trace element responsible for maintaining the youth of cells.

The amount of fructose in the ripe melon is predominant compared to the other two types of sugars. Fructose is sweeter than regular sugar, but unlike it does not strain the insulin apparatus of the pancreas, which is important for diabetics. Fructose is considered to be the best, natural, form of sugar for the elderly, suitable for disorders of fat metabolism and cholesterol, intestinal function and atherosclerosis.
Melon has enough glucose to keep blood glucose levels normal and the formation of the necessary glycogen stores in the liver, which is responsible for nourishing muscle tissue and is also needed for heart muscle tissue.
