Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe

My favorite of the melon group is "Cantaloupe".   This fruit that scores an "A" in nutritional grade makes for a great snack on this 90+ degree plus day.   This orange slice of melon is sweet and succulent in taste and encompasses a very high source of vitamin C, A and potassium and is high in dietary fiber and niacin.  The juice of cantaloupes are good for keeping the body hydrated.   Cantaloupes are high in anti-oxidants which assist in prevention of heart disease and cancer.  Vitamin C amounts in cantaloupe stimulates the white cells to prevent infections and strengthens the immune system as well as preventing many degenerative diseases.  The potassium helps to keep the heartbeat normalized and regulates the body's water balance by excreting excess sodium Wow at the vast nutrients and their benefits.   I'm glancing over at this marvelous melon to which I will joyously devour another slice.
