FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Lauderdale, FL (May 25, 2007) — On today's nationally syndicated Mr. Food segment, Mr. Food discusses how watermelon is a healthy alternative to sugary summer snacks. He'll give viewers tasty options for this refreshing summer fruit.
According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board, watermelon is packed with vitamins, and it offers the healthful benefits of lycopene, which is said to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. Watermelon is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and provides potassium and fiber. It's a cooling hydrator for hot summer afternoons, and it's versatile, too.
Watermelon can be included in your blended drinks or skewered with chunks of cheese and meat for a fun party starter. For these and other fresh ideas, visit www.mrfood.com to make sure you have a sweet summer with plenty of "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!®"
