This Berry Watermelon Fruit Salad’s amazing ingredients

Super Hydrating Watermelon

First is watermelon. Known for its hydrating effects; it has a very high water and fiber content and is very low in calories. Whenever you are eating a watermelon, you are consuming more food in volume without as many calories. Moreover, the melon’s flesh is loaded with Vitamin C, A, B1, B5, and B6, which makes it great for skin, hair, muscle, heart, and cellular health.

In addition, the lycopene present in the watermelon is proven to help prevent or beat cancer, and Cucurbitacin E in the watermelon is a plant-based antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation.[1].

Second, are the strawberries and blueberries that help to make this Berry Watermelon Fruit Salad a complete meal. Berries are abundant in Phyto-nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. In addition, blueberries contain Vitamin K, calcium, manganese, zinc, and magnesium, which help keep the bones strong.

Moreover, the antioxidants like polyphenols present in the berries are good for lowering blood pressure, inflammation, and risk of cancer[2]. Whether you are on a low-carb diet or looking for a diabetic diet, a salad with berries is an awesome meal to include[3].

Lemon Maple Vinaigrette: I Love Citrus!

Finally, is the refreshing lemon maple vinaigrette. It contains a good amount of citrus juice and lemon zest, mixed with thyme, olive oil, maple, and mustard. Lemon juice help improves digestion, skin, and heart health due to the antioxidants present[4].
