Watermelon has a health benefit. In order to be optimally absorbed, watermelon should not be consumed at night. This is the reason. The red watermelon contains a high content of lycopene. In 100 grams, watermelon has an energy content of 30 Kkal so it is suitable as a fruit to support weight loss.

Dr. Shilpa Arora says that watermelon consists of 94 percent water, lycopene, potassium and some other nutrients. Watermelon also contains fiber that can launch the digestive system.

But the consumption of watermelon at night before bed is not recommended.

"I do not recommend the consumption of watermelon or other fruits after 7 pm Watermelon contains little acid that if consumed at night, can delay the digestive process when the body is not active," explained Arora.

He recommends that watermelon is consumed during the day at around 12 to 1 pm because of digestion is active. The digestive process at night is slower. So it is recommended to avoid sugar and acid foods. Eating watermelon before bed can also interfere with sleep because you will often urinate.
