The delicious and healthy watermelon

The watermelon is one of those foods that we often see in the "no´s" and "avoid" list.As you have read before, fruits are foods that can be incorporated into a food plan of those who live with some type of diabetes.Among other things, watermelon can help us hydrate in very hot days and of course it is full of nutrients (and nutrients that we will now talk to you).

Watermelon contains: vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, magnesium among others.

In addition, it also contains lycopene and beta carotene, two substances that are being studied for their benefits to protect our body from different types of cancer and that has some relationship with antioxidants.

Benefits for our health

Remember that natural foods and accessories should not replace the formal medical treatment and prescribed by health professionals but should be used as "supplements" or "accessories" as its name indicates and of course, after talking with our multidisciplinary team.

Hi.

In my garden next to the house cultivation watermelons and melons among other things for having a hobby to be active. I like the most but it is sweeter and I like the sweet ...

How good it sounds to me about the garden.As much as my eyes are glad in front of a cake.When I was younger, work did not allow me.Now, greater, the forces are already missing, but the illusion of cultivating, is still entering.

Greetings.

Thank you @Sorprendido. Well for the moment I will unfold well physically and I live in the rural one. If I get older ------ that they take away from me to vailao ... it is what there is.

All the best

The watermelon rises like the foam, so I relegate it and look for other fruits.

Well, for me, the watermelon, apart from that it is my favorite fruit, it serves me in all this canicle time to quell the hypos, including the night.It is my salvation table.I cannot, however, with the cherries, also of this era.So that the special and particular of each of us are seen.Extrapolar this idea to the use of one or the other insulins, goes hand in hand.

Greetings to all and especially you @ruthbia in your recovery period.

Each one is a world.The watermelon uploads a barbarity and the peach is not.

It seems a lie because it is said that almost everything is water but no ... so that I do not, it is as if I ate a cake, with insulin or without it I put 250 as little and it is hard for me to go down so it is not worth it.I prefer other fruits.
