Watermelon whoose scientific name is Citrullus lanatus is grown in tropical and sub tropical regions and has several varieties.
In this article I will examine its scientificaly proven health benefits.
A study in 2022, traced a 6000 year link to the Egusi (Melon seed) , very popular part of the cuisine in Southern Nigeria, West Africa.
It does not only contain natural sugar and water, it is one of the most nutritious fruits. It contains vitamin A and C which are very important for the body.
It is commonly eaten raw in salads, can be juiced and its rind is efible when cooked.
Its black or dark brown seeds have a high concebtration of L-citrulline.
Lets look at the many other health benefits of watermelon.
Exercise muscle fatigue
It also contains amino acids and L-citrulline, which helps the body repair muscles faster after exercise.
Juice 1/3 of fresh watermelon and drink before your next workout. This contains approximately about one gram of l-citrulline, an amino acid that seems to protect against muscle pain.
Antioxidant properties
Watermelon contains antioxidant properties that help increase muscle protein and enhance athletic performance.
After an intense exercise, you may feel pain later because of small tears in muscle fibers which cause inflammation.
A cup of watermelon contains 1.5 times more lycopene than a large fresh tomato. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent the free radicals from causing cell damage and can improve your immune system.

Watermelon helps prevent erectile dysfunction, ED
I routinely recommend watermelon to my patients as an adjuvant for the trestment of ED.
In this regard, the rind and seeds are preferable to its red juicy, sweet core.
Citruline in watermelons helps with the production of Nitric oxide, NO. NO is a vasodilator and therefore improves arterial blood flow including to the sexual organs. Thereby improving your erections.
Hydration
Watermelon is about 95% water. Pleasant tasting water which is easy to consume. Its packed with potassium and minerals which makes it ideal for hydarion in a hot summers day juiced in a smoothie or eaten raw.
Watermelon, the fruit packed with lots of health benefits.
