Lifestyle Desk: Watermelon and melon are those summer fruits which apart from being tasty, also keep our body hydrated and it is more fun to eat these fruits cold. But keeping cut fruits for a long time can harm health. Have you ever wondered what effect eating watermelon kept in the fridge has on your health? Is it right to eat it like this or not? If you also have the same question in your mind, then today we will tell you in detail whether it is right to eat the watermelon taken out of the fridge immediately or not?

Effect on throat and digestion: Consuming very cold food suddenly can cause sore throat, cough or irritation in sensitive people. Apart from this, digestion may also slow down as the body has to work hard to bring the cold fruit to normal temperature.

Stomach Upset Some people may experience stomach pain, gas, or cramps after eating cold watermelon—especially if they already have a sensitive stomach. Tooth Sensitivity: Eating very cold fruit can cause tingling or pain in the teeth.

What is the correct way?

  1. Take out the watermelon from the fridge and keep it out for 10-15 minutes, then eat it.
  2. Do not eat food that is too cold (like ice).
  3. Do not store cut fruits for long (especially not more than 1 day).
  4. Store in a neat manner (keep covered)
