Watermelon is undoubtedly a summertime favorite for many of us.  Not only is it sweet and delicious, but it is also happens to be packed with lycopene (which is essential for good cardiovascular health), and it is hydrating and low in calories.

While we can conveniently find pre-sliced watermelon in our local supermarkets, I urge you to purchase your watermelons whole because watermelon can lose much of its nutrients when exposed to light.  Once you slice your watermelons, be sure to keep them well-covered in your refrigerator to preserve the vitamins.
