Watermelon is not only rich in water, but also rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, potassium, fructose and vitamins. Watermelon has the main functions of producing sperm, relieving vexation, quenching thirst, relieving summer heat, clearing lung and stomach, promoting diuresis, helping digestion and promoting metabolism, and is suitable for hypertension, hepatitis, nephritis, jaundice, cholecystitis, edema, edema, heatstroke, fever and metabolism. Watermelon is more than 94% water. Because of the high sugar content, the calories are higher. Each kilogram of watermelon contains 250 kilocalories, while a bowl of rice in an ordinary family has about 200 kilocalories. Eating watermelon is equivalent to eating a lot of rice, so eating a lot of watermelon will lead to obesity. The main ways to avoid getting fat by eating watermelon are as follows:
1, you can't eat watermelon as a midnight snack. Eating too much watermelon before going to bed will increase insulin, promote fat synthesis and lead to obesity;
2. Don't eat too much because you don't feel full. The sweetness of watermelon mainly comes from fructose. The lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness of fructose. Studies have found that fructose does not significantly increase blood sugar, but it also bypasses the appetite control mechanism, making people feel dissatisfied, so they will unconsciously consume too many calories, which will lead to weight gain. So we must control the intake of watermelon.
To sum up, eating watermelon may lead to obesity, but it is mainly caused by eating too much at the wrong time. Eating watermelon in a normal amount will basically not cause obesity, so don't worry too much.
