Watermelon!

Tomatoes get all the attention concerning lycopene, a pigment that reduces your risk for heart disease and may help to fend off various forms of cancers, but watermelons naturally supply even more lycopene than tomatoes.  Watermelons are also brimming with citrulline and arginine, micronutrients that increase systemic blood flow and keep arteries healthy. 

All this while delivering very few calories… watermelons are mostly water that just happen to be loaded with micronutrients!
