In the summer on the Bulgarian market there is an extremely large selection of fruits - the most preferred during the season are watermelons and melons. Slightly chilled, these fruits are a great way to save yourself at least a little from the summer heat.
The beneficial properties of watermelon are undeniable - it will quench thirst and facilitate urination. The fruit also improves blood circulation. The delicious red fruit helps to purify our body and feel full on hot days, without feeling that we are overeating.
The watermelon is especially suitable for other conditions - you can eat it for nervousness, sweating or fever, which are caused by a summer cold. More than 90 percent of the weight of watermelon is water, but not only the core is useful.
Seeds and bark can be used - in the seeds, for example, there is a large amount of protein and fat from which vegetable oil is prepared.
In China, watermelon seeds are also eaten as nuts - lightly grilled. The bark is used to make tea, and in some parts of the world it is eaten as a salad mixed with sesame oil, sugar, vinegar and a pinch of salt. The bark also improves urination as well as the secretion of fluids in the human body.
The heart of watermelon contains many useful substances for the body - it is rich in fiber, iron, magnesium and potassium. The fruit also contains a large amount of vitamin C, A, as well as B vitamins.
It is recommended to be consumed by people who have anemia, gout, rheumatism, arthritis. Experts say that it is also useful for people suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), stomach ulcers, liver problems and more.
The juice of the red watery fruit cleanses the liver as well as the kidneys - helps dissolve salts, prevents the formation of kidney stones in constipation.
The melon, although not so serious water content, is also one of the most beloved fruits in the summer. We can find on the market different varieties that have different flavors, shapes and even colors.
The soft part of the fragrant summer fruit contains proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, starch - melon is also rich in potassium, iron, folic acid, phosphorus, copper and more. Melon is also extremely rich in various types of B vitamins - B1 and B2, vitamin PP, vitamin C.
In fact, melon contains more vitamin C than watermelon - the pulp of the yellow fruit has a very good effect on the gastric flora. Melon helps to get rid of cholesterol known as bad, and regular consumption can significantly improve digestion. Silicon, which the fruit contains, is necessary for the good functioning of the intestines and nerves.
It also has a positive effect on the cerebral cortex - probably because of the high content of silicon, scientists strongly recommend eating melon under stress. French experts have found that freshly squeezed melon juice reduces the feeling of fatigue and successfully eliminates stress.
Last but not least, the melon is especially useful for diseases of the cardiovascular system, is recommended in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. It can also be consumed for kidney and liver problems. Melon is recommended for constipation, and if you have sand or kidney stones, it is best to prepare a decoction of its seeds.
