Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Watermelon

Metabolic Effect: Watermelon cools the body and has a diuretic effect due to its high water content. Its fiber content is low, so it can raise blood sugar quickly.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming watermelon alone, consuming it with a food containing protein or fat (e.g., cheese or nuts) helps balance blood sugar. It may be more appropriate to consume it between meals.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption of watermelon can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, especially for diabetics. One large slice of watermelon is equivalent to about 2 servings of fruit.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from watermelon, it is enough to walk at a light pace for about 10 minutes. This can be a fun activity, especially in summer.
