When it's summertime you have to take extra care of your body. During this time, your body easily loses water, commonly referred to as dehydration. It can be defined as the subsequent loss of water along with electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. It is a serious issue since it can lead to sunstroke.

You can either peel it before eating or eat it as it is to increase the amount of roughage. It has nutrients like potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, K, and calcium. This can also be included in your salad.

This fruit has great benefits for our skin since it has lycopene, which helps in rejuvenating our skin. It helps in removing toxins from the body, hence is great for both liver and kidneys.
