Watermelon: The Natural Viagra?
Watermelon used to be the fruit of family summer gatherings. You know, watermelon eating contests, seed spitting competitions, etc. But in the summer of 2008 that all changed and watermelon became the fruit to take the D out of ED.
Dr. Bhimu Patil and the Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center specifically studied one of watermelon’s phytonutrients, citrulline. Thanks to Dr. Patil we now know that citrulline, like Viagra, has the power to relax blood vessels. The body converts citrulline to argenine, which, as Dr. Patil explains, “boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that ed drugs have, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.”
