Melon is one of the most delicious seasonal fruits that Russians love to eat in the summer.

However, not everyone knows that melons are not only tasty, but also extremely healthy.

For example, melon pulp contains microelements such as potassium and silicon. Both are necessary for the stable functioning of the circulatory system.

The first microelement has a positive effect on the circulatory system and helps to normalize blood pressure, and silicon increases the elasticity of blood vessels.

Melon is also rich in vitamins A and C, which are powerful natural antioxidants. Therefore, eating melon helps fight free radicals, which are the cause of premature aging.
