It is rich in many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/food-nutrition\/six-essential-nutrients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nutrients<\/a> such as potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A and magnesium. Potassium and magnesium impact regulating heart rate along with proper cell, muscle and nerve functions, while vitamins C and A strengthen the immune system and maximizes bone health.<\/p>\n<p>Watermelon also contains a non-essential amino acid, citrulline, which is used in the nitric oxide system that promotes blood flow by dilating arteries and relaxing the body\u2019s blood vessels. This includes penetrating the muscles in our arteries. This increase in circulation and oxygenation of the blood improves energy and stamina, and also reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, which impacts an athlete\u2019s recovery time. The research is still working on possible outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATERMELON FOR HYDRATING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you know if you are 1% dehydrated, your performance can decline up to 12%! Thirst does not kick in until a person is 2-4% dehydrated. The rule of thumb is to drink at least half your weight in fluid ounces a day plus the fluid needed for activity. Watermelon is over 50% water per one cup serving! It is a yummy way to rehydrate!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATERMELON FOR NUTRIENT TIMING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watermelon also contains simple carbohydrates that provide energy for a workout, and it is light on the stomach. Some could even have watermelon during competitions, pending on the activity. Watermelon is definitely a great post-recovery snack. It is cool and refreshing, and it also helps rehydrate and replenish the fuel in the muscles for optimal recovery!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATERMELON SUPPLEMENTATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watermelon juice is also available if you don\u2019t want to buy a whole watermelon or if the fruit is not in season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watermelon is a nutrient-dense fruit that provides many benefits! When in season, try to add it to your daily routine or a team meal. Implement before, during or after trainings when appropriate. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>* * *<br \/>\nHere is a sample training menu that includes several options for watermelon.
