The cantaloupe melon, also known as cantaloupe or Japanese melon, has distinctive characteristics, such as its greenish, wrinkled rind and its orange-colored flesh. It is famous as the fruit of the summer, as it is low in calories and high in water.

Its composition is characterized by the presence of vitamins and minerals, carotenoids and a high concentration of primary antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT).

Primary antioxidants are essential enzymes produced naturally by our bodies, which act to maintain the body's ox/redox balance. These enzymes act on the front line of defense against free radicals, oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions that can affect cognition, sleep quality, weight management and even the degree of cellulite, among others. Because of these characteristics, recent research has shown that SOD is a primary indicator of longevity in different species, since it is involved in preserving DNA structure and delaying cellular senescence.

Secondary antioxidants, on the other hand, are supplied externally from dietary sources, such as vitamins (Vitamins C and E), minerals (Se, Zn, Mn) and flavonoids.

A balanced diet, rich in different vegetables and fruits, combined with supplementation, is an assertive strategy to promote the production of endogenous antioxidants, a process that is essential for maintaining quality of life and active care in the prevention of organic complications.
