Again, eating fresh dates with melon was instructed by our Prophet (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him). The melon is a very useful blessing that Allah has bestowed on us.

The rich vitamin C in melons protects our body from various viruses and bacteria by acting as a shield for the body. The melon reduces the heart’s need for oxygen, increases the force of the heartbeat, and therefore, it is useful against circulatory disorders in edema of cardiac origin.
The folic acid in melons prevents heart attacks, increases the amount of blood flowing to the brain, and improves brain nutrition; it is also useful for people with high blood pressure. It positively acts against cough. It normalizes menstrual disorders in women, stabilizes blood and improves organ nutrition. The rich beta-carotene in the fruit not only protects against cancer, but it is also very useful in the treatment of cancer.

People who eat a lot of melon do not have skin diseases, iron deficiency, eczema, and melons not only prevent hair loss, but also cause hair to grow thick. It is better to eat it fresh. Melons are an undesirable fruit for diabetics, so they can eat very little. The most useful melon is the one that grows in summer, in hot weather. Remember that the genes of melons are not as modified as they are in watermelons. The more fragrant and sweet the melon, the more useful it is.
