Daily Fit Tip: Make the most of your watermelon

Big, round, juicy, and in season, watermelons are cropping up all over. I recently bought a giant-sized one for $3.00 at my local market and we've been eating on it for three days. A great source of lycopene and beta carotene, watermelons are also a sweet summertime thirst quencher. To get the most out of this juicy fruit, let it ripen on your counter top for a day or two, instead of in the fridge. Studies have found that when watermelons were stored at room temperature, their antioxidant levels rose by 20-100%. Mmmmmmm.....enjoy!
