Watermelon is a good source of Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in red and pink fruits! Diets rich in the antioxidant lycopene may help prevent the development of some types of cancer, promote heart health. Lycopene may help reduce feelings of pain and have beneficial effects on your eyes, brain and bones, and contribute to stronger bones.
