Watermelon is a delicious, refreshing, nutrient packed summer fruit. Discard the skin and white section before eating, choose a dark red flesh. Watermelon is low in calories and has a high water content and lots of fibre. It's high in vitamin C and vitamin A, contains potassium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B5 & B6. Watermelon is also high in beta-carotene which comes from the colour of the flesh.
About Susan Joy
I've battled with Chronic Fatty Liver Disease, an Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (Hashimoto's), Arthritis and digestive issues for many years. I decided to conduct my own research on what food choices could help my conditions. These choices culminate under what is termed a Paleo Lifestyle. I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband of over 49 years. I'm the author of The JOYful Table cookbook, A JOYful Christmas, The JOYful Table 5-week Meal Plan and The Paleo Bread Cookbook.
