Walnuts will help you keep your blood pressure and cholesterol in check. Have you ever wondered why walnuts are shaped like brains?

Watermelon
The “water” in “watermelon” is no joke – watermelon is over 90% water. Eat them beachside, poolside, or as a side and you’re giving your body vitamins A, B6, & C; magnesium; and potassium. Watermelons are great for hydrating and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol. Watermelon contains citrulline, which is an essential amino acid. Scientists have begun looking into the cancer-fighting benefits of watermelon, as eating the fleshy fruit will reduce the insulin-like growth factor in the body.
