In folk medicine, melon has long been widely used to treat various diseases. At one time, Ibn Sina also used melon a lot to treat patients. The scientist recommended melon meat for the treatment of diseases of toads, pulmonary tuberculosis, and gout. Melon is used for constipation and hemorrhoids, as well as antitussive and anti-inflammatory, emetic. Soft melon and juice well quench thirst and calm the nerves.

    Melon stores a lot of easily digestible sugars. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it in patients prone to obesity and suffering from diabetes. Also, allergy sufferers should refrain from eating melon.

    In addition, the high content of carotenoids contained in melon helps prevent and stop the development of cancer. The adenosine anticoagulant contained in melon activates the breakdown of blood, preventing heart and vascular diseases, that is, stroke. Potassium also improves the functioning of the heart and vascular system, stopping the occurrence of hypertension.

    Given the above facts, it will not be superfluous on the same hot days to often eat melon to healthy people who are not bothered by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Do not forget that, since melon is considered a hard-to-digest product, it is recommended to eat it on an empty stomach.
