Eat watermelon for Vitamin C
- Watermelon is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and magnesium. When buying watermelon, make sure it is heavy and smooth. It should not be too dull or too glossy. There should be a cream or yellow-coloured spot on one side.
If it does not have that underbelly colour, it may have been harvested too soon and the fruit will not be as juicy or tasty. If you are pregnant, the benefits are even more important.
Watermelon eases heartburn and reduces swelling. Its high water content (92%) and fruit sugars alleviate morning sickness and dehydration and prevents muscle cramps.
Avocado high in good fat
- Most of the fat in avocado is monounsaturated - the “good†kind that lowers cholesterol.
Avocado prevents stroke, contains fruit protein, fibre and is ideal for baby food.
Avocado oil is unusually light, so it mixes well with other foods. It withstands a high cooking temperature before breaking down.
Its high fat content gives a quicker feeling of fullness, thus reducing overeating. It has a rich supply of vitamins and minerals.
Do not take too much sugar
- While total calorie content is important, it is not all that the body needs. Different nutrients also have varying impact on how we feel after we consume them.
That can impact how much we eat at mealtime. Sugar, while composed of partial fructose, will still send the glucose straight to the blood, causing insulin levels to increase making you experience a quick burst of energy.
Unfortunately, this burst of energy is frequently followed by a drop, which often just leaves you hungry and craving for more.
That, in turn, can cause you to consume more food during the day, increasing your calorie intake.
