Wellness Wednesday: Watermelon

On a warm day on Dominica, watermelon is the perfect snack to stay hydrated while enjoying the outdoor beauty of the Nature Island.

Not only is the fruit refreshing, it is also considered a nutrient-dense food that provides a high amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for a low amount of calories. When consumed as part of a healthy diet, the juicy fruit offers many benefits to our health.
