Blessings of Melon

Blessings of Melon

As for Melon (battikh)– “Whenever you eat fruit, eat melon, because it is the fruit of Paradise and contains a 1000 blessings and a 1000 mercies. The eating of it cures every disease. Hadith

Generally, the sweeter a melon, the greater its heat. Green varieties tend to be cold; the yellow, hot. The Prophet (saw) took melons with fresh dates. Melon purifies the bladder and the stomach, and improves the spinal fluid and eyesight. Melons should not be eaten first in a meal.

“None of your women who are pregnant and eat of watermelon will fail to produce offspring who are good in countenance and good in character.” hadith
Health Benefits
The Watermelon has no fat or cholesterol and is an excellent source of vitamins A (notably through its concentration of beta-carotene), B6 and C and contains fibre and potassium.

The pink watermelon is also one of the largest sources of the carotenoid antioxidant, lycopene (lycopene is being studied for its ability to fight heart disease and some cancers) when comparing to other fruits and vegetables.
In addition, it also has amino acids, such as citrulline and arginine, which are said to be able to help in maintaining the arteries of the heart.
