Honeydew for Blood Pressure & Bones

"As a potassium-rich food, honeydew melon is recommended for people suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure). 
Potassium helps flush excess sodium from your body and eases tension in your blood vessel walls. By adding this fruit to your diet, not only are you avoiding heavy carbs and processed sugars with a healthy treat, but you’re also helping your heart in other ways as well.

Honeydew
is a good source of calcium, which is a crucial ingredient for healthy, strong teeth and bones
Your body is constantly taking calcium stores from your bones and replacing them with new calcium. If there is less calcium coming in than going out, bones can grow weak, leading to greater risk for
fractures or osteoporosis. 

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, consuming high levels of calcium while you are young helps you to reach peak calcium levels, which can have long-term effects on your health. ... but older adults are also encouraged to get more calcium, to slow down bone deterioration due to aging."
