One cup of
watermelon contains about 45
calories,
making it a low-calorie
snack. The high
water content in
watermelon can also be
filling and help you eat
fewer calories overall.
一杯份西瓜含有约45卡的热量,算得上是低热量食物。西瓜含有的大量水分可以产生饱腹感,让你总体上摄入的热量减少。
A
small 2019
study examining the
effects of
watermelon consumption on
satiety and body
weight in
overweight and
obese adults found those who
consumed two cups of
watermelon daily for four
weeks reported feeling less
hungry and lost
significantly more
weight than the
group who
consumed low-fat
cookies with the same
amount of
calories.
2019年的一项针对超重和肥胖成人的小型研究调查了吃西瓜对于饱腹感和体重的影响。结果发现,相比每天摄入同等热量的低脂饼干的人,连续四周每天摄入两杯份西瓜的人报告称感觉没那么饿,减重也更多。
4. May
prevent muscle soreness 防止肌肉酸痛
Watermelon contains L-citrulline, an
amino acid that may help
reduce muscle soreness
after a
workout.
西瓜含有L-瓜氨酸,这种氨基酸可以帮助减轻锻炼后的肌肉酸痛。
The way it
works is that L-citrulline
dilates blood vessels,
opening them up to
allow for more
blood flow to the
muscles which can
decrease soreness by
improving the
supply of
oxygen during exercise.
L-瓜氨酸可以扩张血管,让肌肉的血流量增加,从而在锻炼时增加供氧量,减轻肌肉酸痛。
5. May
lower blood pressure 降低血压
Because L-citrulline
helps open and
relax blood vessels, it can
improve blood flow and
lower blood pressure.
Staying properly hydrated can also help
improve blood pressure because it
helps the
heart pump
blood to
muscles more
effectively.
因为L-瓜氨酸有助于扩张和放松血管,从而可以改善血流,降低血压。适当补水还能帮助改善血压,因为可以有助于心脏更有效地把血液输送到肌肉。
A
small 2012
study found watermelon extract supplementation reduced blood pressure in
obese adults with
hypertension.
2012年的一项小型研究发现,从西瓜提取的补充剂可以降低患有高血压的肥胖成人的血压。
6.
Reduces risk of
disease 降低患病风险
Watermelon contains the
antioxidant,
lycopene,
which can help ward off
diseases, like
cancer or
heart disease. This
antioxidant is also
present in
other red
fruits and
vegetables,
including tomatoes.
西瓜含有抗氧化的番茄红素,有助于抵御癌症和心脏病等疾病。这种抗氧化成分还存在于包括西红柿在内的其他红色蔬果中。
Some
studies have
indicated lycopene may help
protect against certain cancers, like
prostate cancer. This is
because lycopene appears to
lower the insulin-like
growth factor (IGF), a
protein linked to
cancer in high
levels.
一些研究表明,番茄红素可能有助于防止患上某些癌症,比如前列腺癌。这是因为番茄红素似乎能够减少胰岛素样生长因子,这种蛋白质和癌症有高度关联。
7.
Improves digestion 改善消化
Fiber is
important for
digestion because it adds bulk to
stool,
making it
easier to pass.
Watermelon doesn't
contain much
fiber —
about one gram per cup — but its high
water content can help
improve digestion by
moving along waste.
纤维素对于消化很重要,因为纤维可以增加大便体积,有利于排便。西瓜所含的纤维素不多,每杯份西瓜含有约1克纤维,但是西瓜所含的大量水分可以推动排泄物下行,从而改善消化。
