Vitamin-A is a powerful antioxidant and is essential for healthy vision. It is also necessary to maintain the health of the mucosa and skin. Consumption of natural fruit rich in vitamin A is known to help protect against cancer of the oral cavity and oral cavity.
Melon fruit is also rich in flavonoid antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin. These antioxidants have the ability to help protect cells and other structures in the body from oxygen-free radicals and hence; offers protection against colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung and pancreatic cancers.
The total antioxidant power to oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of honeydew melon was 315 mol TE/100 g. The melon value is 241 mol TE/100 g.
Zeaxanthin, an important dietary carotenoid, is selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eye where it is thought to confer antioxidant and protective UV light filtering functions. It, thus, offers eye protection from age-related macular degeneration disease (ARMD) in the elderly.

Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the human body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen free radicals.
