Beneficial effects of watermelon

. Red, juicy watermelon is high in the super
antioxidant lycopene. Lycopene can be found in
few other red and pink foods, including tomatoes
and pink grapefruit, and it looks like it might play
a significant role in preventing certain kinds of
cancer.
Watermelon is beneficial to the skin and aids in
the regenerative process. Eating the melon has
benefits, but you can make a toner with it too
This red melon is a low calorie food and one cup of
melon balls contains just under 50 calories. It is
also high in vitamin C.
To see if watermelon is nature's Viagra, just read
more.
It lives up to its name: watermelon is 92 percent
water, which makes it a cooling food during the
dog days of Summer.
Surprising new research
indicates that watermelon has an effect on the
human body similar to Viagra. The big red fruit
cannot completely replace the little blue pill, but it
does contain citrulline, which jump starts
production of a chemical compound that helps
relax the body's blood vessels, similar to Viagra.
Melon, however, is just not "organ specific" and
can benefit the entire cardiovascular system.
However, citrulline is found in higher
concentrations in yellow watermelon, not red.
Looks like you can't get your lycopene hit with the
benefits of citrulline.
