Watermelon-Viagra link


Watermelon-Viagra link

Wanna get in the mood? Don’t worry if there is no Viagra in stock. Go and get a fresh juicy watermelon, ‘coz scientists in Texas say that watermelon has Viagra-like effects. According to them, an ingredient of watermelon called as citrulline triggers the production of a compound which helps relax the body’s blood vessels, just like Viagra does.

“The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body,” said Dr. Bhimu Patil, director of Texas

A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in College Station.

According to Dr. Bhimu Patil, arginine boosts nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels. He adds that, “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” added Patil.

Citrulline reacts with the body’s enzymes if it is consumed in large quantities. It then gets converted into arginine, an amino acid, beneficial for the heart, circulatory and immune systems.

About 60 percent of citrulline is present in watermelon rind. Scientists may succeed in finding ways to boost the concentration of citrulline in the flesh of watermelon.

The highest content of citrulline is found in the yellow-fleshed types, although citrulline is found in all colors of watermelon, said Penelope Perkins-Veazia, a USDA researcher in Lane, Okla.

She also said that though Patil’s research is valid, watermelon has to be taken with a caveat. She explained that a man would need to eat about six cups of watermelon to get enough citrulline to boost the body’s arginine level. She added that “when you eat a lot of watermelon, you tend to run to the bathroom more”.

Another issue cited by Perkins-Veazia is the high sugar content of watermelon. According to her, “the amount of sugar that much watermelon would spill into the bloodstream is a jolt that could cause cramping.”

Homeopathy: Treatment for Prostate Enlargement

Homeopathy: Treatment for Prostate Enlargement

With the influx of the mainstream allopathic medicine, Homeopathy is often dismissed by people who refuse to believe that a remedy diluted so extensively can treat or cure a disease. The truth is that Homeopathic remedies are prescribed after obtaining a deep insight into the overall personality and symptoms of the patient.

The good news is that homeopathy now offers specific treatments for male conditions such as prostate enlargement or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Prostate is a male gland which starts to grow during puberty and double its size as you grow older. If the prostate enlarges into an abnormal size, it may affect the urine flow by strangulating the urethral canal through which urine is expelled from the bladder. If kept uncured, this can lead to serious consequences.

A homeopath prescribes a Homeopathic remedy on the basis of typical symptoms of each patient. According to recent studies, these treatments have proved to be effective. But still, Homeopathy and other traditional therapies are termed as ‘alternative’ therapies in many parts of the world.
