Melon is not only sweet pieces that are a great substitute for dessert or snack. It is also a source of energy, vitamins and other substances useful for the body.
In addition, the fruits contain potassium, which has a positive effect on the nervous system.
But some categories of people should use this product with caution.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina told Vechernyaya Moskva more about this.
As the specialist noted, melon can be harmful to those who have diabetes, as well as to people with obesity. The thing is that the fruit contains a lot of fructose, which is a natural sugar.
But early fruits should not be eaten, especially by those with weak immunity. Elderly and pregnant women should also avoid such fruits. In addition, early melons may contain nitrates, which can worsen your health.
Solomatina also told about what to pay attention to when buying a melon. She emphasized that it is important to smell the fruit.
If there is no aroma, it means that the fruit is not ripe or was grown artificially. You cannot take products that have dents or any defects, as the risk of poisoning increases.
