Watermelon: A Pick-Me-Up with Added Benefits
西瓜：唾手可得又营养丰富
Why: Aside from its ability to refresh us, watermelon also delivers lycopene. And a recent study led by food scientists at Florida State University suggests it can be an effective weapon against prehypertension, a precursor to cardiovascular disease.
原因：西瓜不仅能让我们神清气爽，还能补充番茄红素。一项最近由佛罗里达州立大学的食品科学家进行的研究表明，番茄红素能有效抵御高血压前期状态。而高血压前期是心血管疾病的前驱症状。
How: A smoothie made with watermelon, coconut water, lime juice and mint leaves is an ideal cooler on a hot day. Also try serving wedges of the fruit at cocktail hour with a light sprinkling of shaved Pecorino Romano and black pepper, or put it on skewers with shrimp and grill.
食用方法：用西瓜、椰汁、柠檬汁、薄荷叶制成的奶昔是夏季理想饮品。此外，在饭前的鸡尾酒时间奉上用切块水果、罗马羊奶酪末、黑胡椒粉混合而成的小食，或把它串在扦子上和虾仁一起串烤。
