How does fresh watermelon consumption as a treatment for satiety differ from other treatments?
Fresh watermelon consumption is unique because it not only helps with feeling full (satiety) but also contributes to weight loss, lowers blood pressure, and improves overall diet quality by providing essential nutrients like fiber, magnesium, and vitamin A. Unlike other treatments, it is a natural, nutrient-dense food that can enhance antioxidant capacity and reduce oxidative stress.568910
