Cancer is an illness where abnormal cells uncontrollably divide and destroy healthy body tissues leading to the development of tumours. Since there is no cure for cancer, prevention is one of the ways to deal with it and taking watermelon seeds is one of the ways. Watermelon seeds contain an essential cancer-fighting antioxidant called lycopene. An antioxidant is a chemical that neutralises free radicals. Free radicals are chemical substances that can attack and cause harm to cells. They damage cell components such as proteins, DNA and cell membranes. Damage to the DNA is associated with the development of cancer. By consuming watermelon seeds, you increase the amount of lycopene in your body and reduce the risk of developing cancer. Lycopene has been proven to protect human beings against lung cancer, breast, prostate and endometrial cancers.

These rich-flavored nuts are technically the seed of a tropical evergreen tree called Anacardium occidentale, which is native to Brazil, though cashews were also exported to India in the 1550’s. The cashew seed is surrounded by a shell that contains anacardic acid, a skin irritant related to urushiol, which is found in poison ivy. However, no need to panic–it is only the shell that is toxic! Once roasted or heated, as all commercially sold cashews have been (even the ones labeled “raw”), this nut is perfectly safe to eat. Cashews, similar to sesame seeds, are an excellent source of copper, and just 1/4 a cup contains roughly 30% of the DRA of magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese.
