A new study has found that cantaloupe may have anti-inflammatory properties. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that cantaloupe extract was able to reduce inflammation in human cells.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Xiaoran Liu, said that the findings suggest that cantaloupe could be a potential treatment for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and asthma. Cantaloupe is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, and potassium.
Dr. Liu said that more research is needed to confirm the anti-inflammatory effects of cantaloupe, but the findings are promising. She added that eating cantaloupe as part of a healthy diet is a good way to get these important nutrients.
