Want great sex? Grab a watermelon

Watermelon, the juicy, fruity treat that feels great in your mouth and on your… libido. In fact, eating it can have the same effect as Viagra.

Even though 92% of Watermelon is water, 8% is rammed with sexy stuff.

Boffins have discovered that the flesh of the fruit contains an ingredient that effects blood vessels in the same way. Who commissions this research? Who has a hunch that a watermelon could help keep your pecker up? Well, bless their little white lab coats nonetheless.

The key is a compound called citrulline that helps blood vessels relax. Dr Bhimu Patel, who led the study at Texas A&M University, said that citrulline is converted into an amino acid – arginine – that improves circulation.

Watermelon has oh so many uses though:

Dr Patel said: “The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body.

“We’ve always known that watermelon is good for you, but the list of its very important health benefits grows longer with each study.

“Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.

“Watermelon may not be as organ specific as Viagra but it’s a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side-effects.”
