Watermelon is an excellent source of potassium, vitamins C and A, and contains a high concentration of beta-carotene. Red watermelon rind also contains the phyto-nutrient citrulline, which has health benefits such as increased blood flow throughout the body.
The inside of a watermelon is about 92 percent water. The remaining 8 percent has the highest concentration of lycopene found in any fresh fruit or vegetable.

The health benefits of watermelon are abundant, especially for men. It also quenches thirst on a hot day and gives you that feel that you have had lunch already. So, feel free to take a bite when you want to slim down
(The seeds are equally nutritious!)
Prostrate Health
Researchers once believed that lycopene was only found in tomatoes, but watermelon holds the highest concentration of lycopene in any fresh fruit or vegetable. Lycopene has known antioxidant qualities t keep the skin, heart, and prostrate healthy. In a study conducted by doctors at the University of Illinois at Chicago, test subjects ingested lycopene for three weeks before undergoing a scheduled prostatectomy. The results showed significantly diminished damage to the prostrate tissue by the end of the three week trial.

Let me expatiate a bit - Lycopene is a carotenoid and phyto-nutrient found in red fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, pink grapefruits, watermelons, and papayas. It is the compound that is responsible for the red colour in these foods.
Numerous studies have shown that ingesting lycopene-rich foods can result in positive health benefits.
Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect against degenerative diseases and it does this by neutralizing free radicals in the body. Note: Free radicals fight against your immune system by attacking antioxidants in your body. (Anyone who's sick, internally that person's body goes through this process; no matter the illness).
Lycopene may help prevent DNA damage in the cells and help the cells to function better. High levels of lycopene in the blood, and fatty tissues, correlate with reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and macular degeneration. The human body cannot produce lycopene so it must be obtained from food sources.

People take lycopene for prevention of heart disease, "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis); and cancer of the prostrate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon, and pancreas. Lycopene is also used for treating human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, which is a major cause of uterine cancer.
Erectile Dysfunction
I don't know much but I do know that Citrulline and Arginine are good friends of my body ... (and that goes to all men out there).
I don't know much but I do know that Citrulline and Arginine are good friends of my body ... (and that goes to all men out there).
Citrulline is a strong amino-acid that is converted to arginine when ingested. The compound is closely connected to NO (Nitric Oxide ... stay glued, i'll touch this in my next post).
Now the kick is, arginine helps in the healing and regenerative process, it is also a vaso-dilator ... fear not brethren - this is all we need to know lol).
Everything making us healthy and able to perform under the sacks has to do with dilating of blood vessels and blood circulation ... that's the main reason we exercise, the main reason we dance, and the main reason we don't sit all day, like a blob, watching TV; it's all about pushing our hearts to pump more oxygen-laden blood effectively and efficiently and strengthening the elasticity of our blood vessels as channels for this flow.
That is why we should embrace calcium supplements (they strengthen the walls of our blood vessels and give our muscles more thickness; when you take Ca-supplements, the thickness of your penis is given a kick!)
That is why we should also embrace Zinc supplements; Zn is a mineral in which the body requires 15mg (DV) to keep a healthy immune system, building protein, triggering enzymes and creating DNA, Zn has so many benefits and it applies to Premature Ejaculation by helping our bodies communicate. It acts as a neurotransmitter which allows for a healthy erection.
(These supplements should be taken in moderation though).
(These supplements should be taken in moderation though).
Okay, back to the matter - now what Arginine does is that it dilates our blood vessels, making them wider, hence more blood flow down our members ... and our bodies in general! Cigarettes, caffeinated drinks (e.g., coffee, and sodas, our regular coke and fanta) contain compounds that act as vaso-constrictors; these literally constrict your blood vessels and when you can't get enough blood flowing down there, you'll spew your clearly-embarrassed cum all over the room.
Watermelon rind contains a high concentration of the phyto-nutrient called citrulline. One of its benefits is the ability to relax the blood vessels, much like drugs used to treat Erectile Dysfunction. When ingested, citrulline boosts Nitric Oxide levels, which relaxes blood vessels to increase blood flow throughout the body.
While the cause of Erectile Dysfunction can involve a variety of psychological and physiological issues, an increase in blood flow can help in mild cases.
The untold spark that's missing in the performance of men improves "over-time" and like many other couples around, you too can have some serious fun and bring that old magic back!

Lowers Blood Pressure
In a study conducted at the Florida State University, Professor Bahram H. Arjmandi found in giving watermelon extract to nine subjects with hypertension for six weeks, each showed lower blood pressure at the end of the study.
The phyto-nutrient citrulline allows for increased blood flow in the body, which can help with hypertension. Figueroa also stated that patients could potentially ingest lower doses of anti-hypertensive drugs when paired with citrulline found in watermelon.
Scientists found that the fruit significantly reduces blood pressure for overweight people, even when they are exposed to cold weather.
More people die of heart attacks in cold conditions because the stress causes blood pressure to increase. This forces the heart to work harder to pump blood into the aorta, meaning obese people face a higher risk of heart attack and strokes in cold conditions.
The study, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, revealed that eating watermelon or taking watermelon extract is good for heart health and can reduce the risk of heart problems in cold conditions.

Professor Arturo Figueroa said, "The pressure on the aorta and on the heart decreased after consuming watermelon extract. That means less overload to the heart, so the heart is going to work easily during a stressful situation such as cold exposure".
Heart attacks are on the rise in Nigeria and people are over-stressing their hearts unconsciously; just like the stomach has its food, the heart also has its food.
