In particular, Vitamin C found in melon strengthens the body’s immunity, thereby increasing its ability to fight viruses and bacteria.
digestive system works better
Melon is low in calories, which can be helpful in weight control. Consuming melon regularly keeps the stomach full for a long time, which reduces hunger and reduces calorie intake. Apart from this, due to the abundant amount of fiber in melon, the metabolism of the body also increases, which helps in reducing weight. This fiber also improves the digestion process due to which the digestive system works better.
