Before the cold sets in, you need to make the most of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Plus, all of this is now not so expensive – and can be a great replacement for high-calorie sweets and snacks.
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.
Melon contains a lot of beta-carotene
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.
It helps in the synthesis of collagen
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.

It contains a lot of fiber
Melon contains dietary fiber as well as plenty of water. This has a beneficial effect on intestinal function, blood sugar levels and metabolic processes throughout the body. The main thing is not to get carried away and eat no more than 400-500 grams of fruit per day.
Excessive consumption of melon can lead to indigestion, diarrhea and abdominal pain. In addition, the specified amount of fruit contains a sufficient level of beneficial vitamins and minerals. For example, to consume the daily requirement of vitamin C, you will only need 200 grams of melon.
