i just a little bit like to eat watermelon.some people said that is a good kind of fruit and you can eat to satisfy your thirst in summer.what do you think? have you eaten chinese watermelon?
in my opinion, i don't think so. each time after eating watermelon, i feel thirsty and have to drink a lot of water. and then i have a constipation next day. i don't know why.therefore i don't like to eat watermelon.could you tell me why i have such suffering?
thank you very much.

Haha, I love watermelon. It's so good. I guess it can give diarrhea, but I'm surprised that it could cause constipation. That's probably from the dehydration of your digestive system as a result of the watermelon.
I've never tried chinese watermelon. What's it like?

Why is that so? For me, I do love to eat watermelons. They're healthy fruits for sure. I like to eat them every after meal if possible. I haven't tried Chinese Watermelons but I guess they taste good too. ;)

I like eat watermelon very much.It can cool you in the very hot summer.But there are different kinds of watermelons.Maybe you can not adapt some kinds.It is unluck that some watermelons look ripe but actually they are green.These kinds of watermelon can do bae to people's health.I think it is important fot you to choose the right kinds of watermelons

No I haven't eaten chinese watermelon but I have eaten a lot of other different varieties of watermelon. My partner and I have a small organic farm and one of the things we grow are watermelons. Generally we have ordinary plus some of the seedless watermelons. What we grow does depend on what the customers want though.
I have never seen chinese watermelon but will look it up in the catalogues. If they have organic seeds, and they aren't too expensive of course, it might be worth looking at them too. We are always on the lookout for something different to grow. We never grow a lot of new things till we see if there is a market, but it could be worth considering.
Our watermelons do not leave us thirsty at all, but rather full and refreshed. It depends on how much moisture there is in the watermelon itself. So the chinese watermelon might be a bit drier than the ones we grow here in Australia.

I take watermelon occasionally as it’s not my favorite fruit. But during hot season I’ll take more because of its juice flesh. If you take lots of watermelon in rainy day then you will have lots of urine lol.

I love watermelon & so do my children. I don't know what Chinese watermelon is like? So I can't say why it caues you constipation. Maybe you will just have to reduce the amount you eat, or cut it out altogether.

I love watermelon. To me it does satisfy my thirst. I like sweet watermelon. I haven't had watermelon yet this season. They are still a little too high. I've never heard of Chinese watermelon. Watermelon disgrees with your body. You should ask your doctor about that.

I like watermelon because it's so juicy, sweet and could quench my thirst easily especially in the hot days. I am surprised that you showed the opposite sypmton after taking the watermelon. After some thought, it could be due the blood type. Recently I learned that there is study regarding food suitability for people with different blood group. I am o+ and I slowly learn about the food is suitable for my body. You can check it out wether watermelon is suitable for you.

I use to eat them in my homeland, but it's hot all year round there so it helps cool you down. but here I probably eat one in a year hehehe it's already low temperature outside

I've never eaten chinese watermelon, I wish I could buy it in my country. I don't mind watermelon and it's very refreshing in the summer, but it's not my favourite kind of melon.

I like eating watermelon, and sometimes I have fun spitting the pips out into a bag or a flower pot, just to practice my aim, it isn't always very good though. I like the juicy ones, the type you're biting and the juice is running down your hand. I don't think I've ever eaten Chinese watermelon and I never had any problems with constipation. Are they much different to other watermelons?

Don't you know that having a constipation is quite okay ? It helps you to prevent any bacterias in your stomach. I like to eat watermelon too. Although i don't get any constipation on next day, but I still like it.
