Scientists discovered that watermelon has an effect similar to well-known drug Viagra. The positive effect is attributed to an ingredient citrulline found in watermelons.
Just like Viagra, citruline in watermelon activates the production of a compound that helps to relax blood vessels. The compound, found in the flesh and the rind of the juicy fruit turns into arginine when it reacts with enzymes of the body. Arginine is a natural amino acid that reduces risk of heart disease, decreases blood pressure, and improves circulatory and immune function.
The nitric oxide resulting from arginine relaxes blood vessels – the same effect the famous erectile dysfunction drug has.
The report also mentioned it was not the pink meat, but the rind that carries the properties.
Good luck with that guys. You forfeit a huge stomach ache for something else.
LOL… oh that is funny
In the event that you have an erection lasting more than four hours, call your produce manager.
