Contains essential vitamins 富含基本維生素
Watermelon contains many
essential vitamins your body
needs,
including:
西瓜含有許多身體所需的基本維生素，包括：
Vitamin A,
which helps maintain eyesight and
support lung
health.
維生素A：有助于保持視力、增進肺部健康；
Vitamin C,
which helps our
bodies absorb iron and
keeps the
immune system strong.
維生素C：有助于身體吸收鐵，保持強大的免疫力；
Vitamin B6,
which also
helps support the
immune system and
heart health.
維生素B6：有助于保持免疫系統(tǒng)和心臟健康；
Magnesium,
which helps regulate muscle and
nerve function.
鎂：有助于調(diào)節(jié)肌肉和神經(jīng)功能。
Watermelon also
contains important minerals known as
electrolytes, one of
which is
potassium.
Electrolytes are
crucial for
keeping us
hydrated,
contracting our
muscles, and
regulating pH
levels.
西瓜還含有鉀等重要礦物質(zhì)組成的電解質(zhì)。電解質(zhì)對于補水、收縮肌肉以及調(diào)節(jié)人體PH值至關(guān)重要。
3.
Assists in
weight management 有助于減肥
One cup of
watermelon contains about 45
calories,
making it a low-calorie
snack. The high
water content in
watermelon can also be
filling and help you eat
fewer calories overall.
一杯份西瓜含有約45卡的熱量，算得上是低熱量食物。西瓜含有的大量水分可以產(chǎn)生飽腹感，讓你總體上攝入的熱量減少。
A
small 2019
study examining the
effects of
watermelon consumption on
satiety and body
weight in
overweight and
obese adults found those who
consumed two cups of
watermelon daily for four
weeks reported feeling less
hungry and lost
significantly more
weight than the
group who
consumed low-fat
cookies with the same
amount of
calories.
2019年的一項針對超重和肥胖成人的小型研究調(diào)查了吃西瓜對于飽腹感和體重的影響。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，相比每天攝入同等熱量的低脂餅干的人，連續(xù)四周每天攝入兩杯份西瓜的人報告稱感覺沒那么餓，減重也更多。
4. May
prevent muscle soreness 防止肌肉酸痛
Watermelon contains L-citrulline, an
amino acid that may help
reduce muscle soreness
after a
workout.
西瓜含有L-瓜氨酸，這種氨基酸可以幫助減輕鍛煉后的肌肉酸痛。
The way it
works is that L-citrulline
dilates blood vessels,
opening them up to
allow for more
blood flow to the
muscles which can
decrease soreness by
improving the
supply of
oxygen during exercise.
L-瓜氨酸可以擴張血管，讓肌肉的血流量增加，從而在鍛煉時增加供氧量，減輕肌肉酸痛。
5. May
lower blood pressure 降低血壓
Because L-citrulline
helps open and
relax blood vessels, it can
improve blood flow and
lower blood pressure.
Staying properly hydrated can also help
improve blood pressure because it
helps the
heart pump
blood to
muscles more
effectively.
因為L-瓜氨酸有助于擴張和放松血管，從而可以改善血流，降低血壓。適當補水還能幫助改善血壓，因為可以有助于心臟更有效地把血液輸送到肌肉。
A
small 2012
study found watermelon extract supplementation reduced blood pressure in
obese adults with
hypertension.
2012年的一項小型研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，從西瓜提取的補充劑可以降低患有高血壓的肥胖成人的血壓。
6.
Reduces risk of
disease 降低患病風(fēng)險
Watermelon contains the
antioxidant,
lycopene,
which can help ward off
diseases, like
cancer or
heart disease. This
antioxidant is also
present in
other red
fruits and
vegetables,
including tomatoes.
西瓜含有抗氧化的番茄紅素，有助于抵御癌癥和心臟病等疾病。這種抗氧化成分還存在于包括西紅柿在內(nèi)的其他紅色蔬果中。
Some
studies have
indicated lycopene may help
protect against certain cancers, like
prostate cancer. This is
because lycopene appears to
lower the insulin-like
growth factor (IGF), a
protein linked to
cancer in high
levels.
一些研究表明，番茄紅素可能有助于防止患上某些癌癥，比如前列腺癌。這是因為番茄紅素似乎能夠減少胰島素樣生長因子，這種蛋白質(zhì)和癌癥有高度關(guān)聯(lián)。
7.
Improves digestion 改善消化
Fiber is
important for
digestion because it adds bulk to
stool,
making it
easier to pass.
Watermelon doesn't
contain much
fiber —
about one gram per cup — but its high
water content can help
improve digestion by
moving along waste.
纖維素對于消化很重要，因為纖維可以增加大便體積，有利于排便。西瓜所含的纖維素不多，每杯份西瓜含有約1克纖維，但是西瓜所含的大量水分可以推動排泄物下行，從而改善消化。
