It’s no secret that watermelon is made up of mostly water.

After all, it’s right there in the name.

But did you know that dehydration is a leading cause of fatigue?

You see, when you’re dehydrated, there’s less fluid in your body for your heart to work with. This fluid loss causes a drop in your blood volume, making your heart work harder to push oxygen and nutrients throughout your bloodstream to your brain, skin, organs, and muscles.

By adding watermelon to your diet, you can increase the amount of good, hydrating fluids you take in and beat this dehydration.
