Can Watermelon Improve Your Sex Drive?

Men looking to boost their love lives maybe looking in the wrong direction! Don't turn to pills and medications to boost your sex drive when you know you have something better, an all-natural, with no side effects at all fruit.

Watermelon is the new famed star that stole the show from Viagra. According to a research directed in 2008, by Texas A&M University’s department of horticultural sciences, they state that, "although not as organ-specific as drugs that treat men’s erectile dysfunction, watermelon may help improve blood flow to erectile tissue (present in the female clitoral area as well as the male penis), increasing arousal."

Experts at the university’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center are now occupied on growing the fruit’s citrulline content. "We have known that watermelon has citrulline," states Bhimu Patil, PHD, director of the Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center at Texas A&M University, College Station. "Scientists thought most of the citrulline was in the watermelon rind, it has more citrulline in the edible part than previously believed," he told WebMD.

Moral of the Story: If you're really looking for a sweetened libido-enhancer, stick to a slice of watermelon. Not only does it boost your love life, but it's also stuffed with a horde of health and fitness benefits. It rehydrates, prompts metabolism, purifies and is rich in potassium and L-Citrulline, which assists muscle recovery.
