Info on watermelon...

[Guest guest]

more than a kidney relief is this beautiful red fruit-

 

vitamin C/carotenes neutralize free radicals improving heart health,

fighting cancer and reducing arthritis inflammation

vitamins B stimulate energy production

amino acid citruline

 

the above protect against age related macular degeneration

 

lycopene - a carotoid - cardiovascular health, prevention of

pr & strate, br & ast lung and colorectal cancers (protects DNA in white

blood cells)

 

lycopene rich foods such as watermelon and tomatoes along with green

tea greatly enhance the protective effects of both and may reduce the

risk of pr & strate cancer

 

Way to choose: needs to feel heavy for its size should be a creamy

yellow spot underneath from where it sat on the ground while in the

sun- store at room temp - lycopene content increases as the melon

sits out - once cut- wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in the

frig up to six days

Hehe! I was going to make a similar post about the benefits of

watermelon. There is a write up about it in " First " magazine this

month. I will add what I have learned.

 

Two cups a day helps to keep younger-looking skin. that is the

lycopene in it, an antioxidant that scavenges the UV-induced free

radicals that cause sunburn and wrinkling.

 

Eating a few slices later after dinner can extend the deep stages of

of sleep by 27 pecent. Watermelons polysaccharide carbohydrates rev

the body's output of serotonin.When levels of this neurotransmitter

rise at night, the brain is less sensitive to disruptive stimuli

during sleep.

 

The vitamin B6 which the body uses to synthesizes feel-good dopamine

also increases the energy levels to 23%. Plus, watermelon's magnesium

assist in the body's formation of adenosine triphosphate. Like a

recharageable battery, this nucleotide fuels cellualr function for

all-day zip.

 

I think you already mentioned citrulline which converts to arginine

and help with rapid healing.

 

Also, there was an article about the benefits of wtermelon in the

Victoria newpaper recently. It said that eating 6 cups will give the

same effects as taking a Viagra pill. LOL!

Reading the last passage you wrote about Watermelon bought back some

childhood memories. At the big West Indian weddings I attended as a

child I remember that on the table there was always a large

Watermelon which was to be eaten mainly by the bride and groom. If

there was any left over the unmarried adults would eat it, never us

children. There was always a big fuss made of it when it was bought

into the room and when the bride and groom fed it to each other.

 

I'm starting to make sense of it now I've read your post.

 

Thanks for those happy memories of me in my pretty bridesmaid

dresses! ;-)
