Info on watermelon...thank you Linda!

[Guest guest]

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!
