Watermelon is perfect for hot summer days. However, eating it the wrong way can cause health issues or reduce its benefits. Here are seven things you should never do when eating watermelon.
1. Don’t Eat Watermelon on an Empty Stomach
Watermelon has a high water and sugar content, which can lead to stomach discomfort, bloating, or even diarrhea if eaten first thing in the morning. It’s best to consume it after meals or as a snack.
2. Avoid Eating Too Much at Night
Watermelon has a high natural sugar and water content, which may cause frequent urination at night and disturb your sleep. It’s better to enjoy it during the daytime.
3. Don’t Combine It with Certain Foods
Eating watermelon with dairy products (like yogurt or milk) can result in digestive issues such as bloating or an upset stomach. Plus, avoid pairing it with heavy, greasy foods.
4. Don’t Eat Overripe or Spoiled Watermelon
Overripe or spoiled watermelon may be loaded with harmful bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Always check for signs of mold, sour smell, or unusual texture before consuming.
