The doctor named several categories of people who should exclude watermelon from their diet.
A comment on this topic was shared by candidate of medical sciences, therapist Yaroslav Ashikhmin.
Watermelon is harmful to people with severe cases of heart and kidney failure, reports the radio station " Moscow Speaks ".
This applies to the most difficult cases, when, for example, swelling is recorded throughout the body.
This seasonal treat is also not recommended for diabetics.
In other cases, watermelon is useful. It helps maintain water balance and electrolyte levels in the body.
The composition of watermelon allows it to be classified as a healthy product. It has little salt, the expert pointed out.
The kidneys of a healthy person can easily cope with a slight increase in the volume of fluid consumed, so watermelon does not harm the urinary system.
Daily norm
Doctors have determined how much watermelon pulp can be eaten per day. For children, the daily norm is 80-150 g, for adults - up to 500 g.
