Watermelon is also believed to be a natural Viagra. That’s because the popular juicy fruit is richer than experts believed in an amino acid called citrulline, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels much like Viagra and other drugs meant to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
There is new scientific evidence to show that watermelon, of all things, can be a wonder drug of sorts for men's fertility. The citrulline in Watermelon has been found to improve erection hardness in men with mild erectile dysfunction (impotence). Until recently, many scientists thought that most of the citrulline was in the watermelon rind but now, experts have discovered that there is more citrulline in the edible part than previously believed. That why it is believed that WATERMELON acts just like Viagra.
A study shows that watermelon can also have a relaxing effect on some of the body’s blood vessels without using any drugs. Watermelon increases sperm count and improves libido in men who eat it regularly. The sperm concentration and motility of men who ate watermelon regularly was also greatly improved over those that did not. The reason for the great effects? Phytonutrients.
Added benefits
While these fertility benefits are great for men, watermelon contains even more benefits that are not just for men. Doctors even say that deep red watermelon can replace the tomato as the #1 best source of lycopene. While watermelon is around 92 percent water, the remaining 8 percent is stuffed full of great nutrients and ingredients that have a ton of health benefits. Lycopene has great effects for both men and women, helping everything from the heart to the skin.
