Sweet threat: for these people, watermelons are completely forbidden.

The main risks

  • Load on diseased kidneys  – excess fluid and potassium.

  • A sharp increase in blood sugar  : a problem for diabetics.

  • Bowel problems  – bloating and diarrhea with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract.

  • Risk of nitrates  – especially with “early” watermelons out of season (late August – September is the safest time).

Conclusion

Watermelon is a wonderful and healthy product, but  it should be consumed in moderation and in good health  . If you suffer from chronic diseases, especially kidney diseases, consult a doctor before enjoying this summer temptation.
