rise in pitta.

diuretic properties.
4. Aids Digestion Get loads of fibre from watermelon to help prevent constipation...just
don’t eat too much!
5. Supports Healthy Weight Management Enjoy a low-calorie, hydrating snack that
keeps you feeling full without the extra calories.
6. Rich in Antioxidants and Vitamins Benefit from antioxidants and vitamins like
lycopene, vitamin C, A, and B6, which fight free radicals and reduce inflammation.

🍉 How to Enjoy Watermelon:
• Eat Alone or Before Meals: Helps with optimal digestion.
• Best Time to Eat: During midday, especially in the summer.
• Avoid at Night: To prevent digestive discomfort.
• Balance with Warming Spices: For Vata and Kapha, add a pinch of black pepper or
ginger.
