Watermelon

Did you know that watermelons contain the highest level of lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable per serving?

Watermelons also have excellent levels of vitamins A and C and a good level of vitamin B6.

- Vitamin A plays an important role in bone growth, optimal eye, skin and immune system health. Vitamin A enhances the infection-fighting actions of white blood cells called lymphocytes.

- Vitamin B6 helps maintain healthy brain function and plays a key role in producing antibodies needed to fight many diseases. Vitamin B6 helps maintain normal never function and form red blood cells. The body uses it to help break down proteins. The more protein you eat, the more vitamin B6 you need.

- Vitamin C can help to boost the immune system's defenses against infections and viruses. It can help prevent heart disease by preventing free radicals from damaging artery walls.

We hope you enjoy your first tastes of summer!
