Watermelon is like a Natural Viagra - Watermelon may offer Viagra-like effects

Watermelon is like a natural Viagra. Watermelon could possess natural properties akin to Viagra, potentially offering a favorable boost for men's health. Watermelon has an amino acid that has a Viagra-like effect on your blood vessels, according to an article on Web MD.

How could watermelon be a natural Viagra, you ask?

Watermelon is very rich in an amino acid called L-citrulline. This amino acid relaxes and dilates your blood vessels much like Viagra does.
