Watermelon Does the Same Work As Viagra?

 I guess we are too pre-occupied on junk and artificial food that we've forgotten the natural ones which can actually save our lives from different ailments. Its amazing the things fruits and veggies do for us and yet we take them for granted. I won't be surprised if the cure for terrible diseases such as AIDS comes from a simple neglected and forgotten plant. I came across this interesting piece on Watermelon recently.


A cool, juicy watermelon is a refreshing fruit for many. However, watermelons may have the same effect as Viagra, a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.



Watermelons have an ingredient called citrulline that could trigger the production of a compound that relaxes the body’s blood vessels, which is also what happens when a man takes Viagra.

Scientists in Texas say that citrulline reacts with the body’s enzymes when consumed in large quantities and is then changed to arginine, an amino acid that benefits the heart and circulatory systems.

"Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it," said Bhimu Patil, a researcher and director of Texas A&M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center. "Watermelon may not be as organ-specific as Viagra, but it's a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects."

However, some researchers say that anyone taking Viagra shouldn’t expect the same results from watermelon.


Incredible isn't it? Read more about it here

Well, what can I say? It looks unbelievable that a simple watermelon might be Nature's viagra.
Years ago, a Nigerian Doctor claimed he cured AIDS with herbs but the scientific world discredited it on some unclear grounds. Is it because it did not involve chemicals or because an african made such discovery?

I believe its not impossible for the cure to many of our ailments to be found in nature's edibles surrounding us.

Here's a video that showcases some astonishing truths we never knew, no thanks to junk food and all that artificial crap that we fill ourselves with. 



What can I say? Lets eat more of Nature's edibles and stay alive and healthier!

  4. I heard alot about the Nigerian Doctor. Apparently, everyone was on him to have his formula 'tested'...i think everyone was trying to steal it. Anyhoo, a relative of mine used his herbs and she is still living and doing great-so it just might be true!

  7. Well even though it's stereotypical, Black People (such as myself ) sure luv some watermelon I guess this is part of the reason I can get a rock solid hard on from just a thought and "others" have to resort to medication. This is one stereotypical food I'm happy to partake in, "Thanks Jim Crow"..
