Men
hoping for some fireworks in their love life this Fourth of July may want to
skip the burgers and beer at the barbecue and eat plenty of…instead.
It
turns out, watermelon may be a natural Viagra, says a researcher. That’s
because the popular summer 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).
Until
recently, many scientists thought 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.
How much watermelon should you eat?
A typical 4-ounce serving of watermelon (about 10 watermelon balls) has about 150 milligrams of citrulline.
