With it's high water content, melon moves through the body at a great speed, cleansing and rehydrating the system. A slice of melon is a fantastic diet food and is particularly good at combating bloating and puffiness.
Melon also contains potassium which can lower high blood pressure and bad LDL cholesterol. Cantaloupe melons are very high in vitamin C and beta-carotene, both of which are naturally anti-aging and aid cell repair and growth, as well as supporting the immune and circulatory systems.
