While watermelon is packed with health benefits, it’s not a one-size-fits-all fruit. Some individuals should approach it with caution to avoid unwanted health effects.
Who Should Exercise Caution When Eating Watermelon?
1. People with Diabetes
Despite being low in calories, watermelon has a high glycemic index, meaning its natural sugars are rapidly absorbed, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar.
People with diabetes or prediabetes should limit how much they eat or seek medical advice to determine an appropriate portion.
2. People with Sensitive Digestive Systems
Watermelon’s high water content and cooling nature can cause digestive upset when consumed in large amounts, especially for people with fragile digestion, stomach ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
These people may experience diarrhea or discomfort and should either eat small portions or avoid it if symptoms occur.
