GOOD ARTICLE.6 Healthy Reasons To Eat Watermelon

Big or small, seedless or not, red or yellow, nothing says summer like a big, juicy watermelon (or a seed-spitting contest off the deck). But there is a lot more to this melon than water. Turns out it's packed with phytonutrients, vitamins A, C, and a good hit of potassium, plus some B6 and thiamine -- everything except fat, sodium and calories. Cool.
Stay healthier Watermelon has lots of lycopene, a key plant antioxidant that is famous for fighting heart disease and prostate cancer. Tomatoes are usually considered the lycopene all-stars, but you have to cook them in a little oil to release it. Watermelon not only needs no cooking to unleash its lycopene but, cup for cup, it has 40 percent more than tomatoes.
Get your C A big slice of watermelon (about two cups) fills almost half your vitamin C quota.
Fight infection Two cups of the juicy red melon also supply nearly a quarter of your daily beta carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. Running low on beta c can leave you vulnerable to viral infections and vision trouble.
Heal faster Watermelon (especially yellow-orange varieties) is one of the rare food sources of citrulline, an amino acid used in wound healing and cell division. Slurp up the juice but bite down too: There's extra citrulline in the white and green part that most people toss. Pickled rinds anyone?
Sooth stress Watermelon is a good source of potassium, which helps control blood pressure -- making it the perfect snack for stressful family reunions.
Quench cravings There are only 96 calories in two fill-you-up cups of sweet watermelon, and its high liquid content makes you feel full.
Oh my God....

I lived in Costa Rica for 20 years and in my country you can find the most ugly and weird animals on earth but let me tell you.
Today I came to work, started to clean the entire store and after a while I came to the cashier and there was a HUGE BEE.
HUGEEEEEEE, I have never seen such a big bee in my entire life.
I didn't know what to do, the freaking BEE was the size of my head.
Anyway, I don't know if the bee hang out here all night and play with all the area toys.
Just be aware it might go visit you there.
