Beyond its refreshing taste, did you know that watermelon can support heart health? Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants such as calcium, vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin A, potassium, and lycopene, watermelon offers a variety of nutrients. These antioxidants play a crucial role in combating harmful molecules called free radicals, which, if left unchecked, can trigger inflammation responses detrimental to heart health.
