Watermelon Warning: Who Should Avoid Salt on This Summer Fruit?

• People with blood pressure, heart, or kidney problems should avoid sprinkling salt on watermelon due to increased sodium intake.
• High salt intake puts pressure on kidneys and makes blood pressure control difficult.
• Adding chili or pepper powder can cause irritation for those with sensitive stomachs, especially children and the elderly.
• Eat watermelon fresh; prolonged storage in the fridge reduces taste and nutrients.
• Avoid drinking milk or eating high-protein foods immediately after watermelon to prevent digestive issues; moderate night consumption is advised.
