As fall begins, it helps to eat all the seasonal fruits and vegetables that may be on the table. But if we talk about dessert fruits, experts advise focusing on melon. This fruit is particularly beneficial for women – for a variety of reasons.
Beta-carotene is a derivative of vitamin A, the same retinol that is so beneficial to the skin. This is a powerful antioxidant that protects body cells from inflammatory processes and premature aging.
Thanks to its high content of vitamin C and silicon, melon indirectly improves the production of collagen, the main structural protein responsible for the quality of skin, hair and nails. In addition, melon pulp contains many other minerals and trace elements that are beneficial for our appearance. For example, cobalt helps fight disease-causing bacteria, selenium maintains skin elasticity, and potassium balances hydration levels.
