Precautions to be taken while eating

Both watermelon and muskmelon are healthy, but it's best not to eat too much at once. Eating them in small portions is much better for your health. People with diabetes should eat even less. Whether it's watermelon or muskmelon, it's always best to eat it right after cutting. If you must store it in the fridge, make sure to finish it within 24 hours. You can also drink them as juice, but avoid adding sugar. Always make fresh juice instead of buying packaged drinks.
