Move Over Viagra!

Yellow
I usually don't talk much about private affairs but two conflicting statements by health gurus Joe Cross and Mehmet Oz had me intrigued and my husband is doing an experiment with yellow watermelon. Joe Cross said that when he was juicing his sex drive was low. Dr. Oz wrote that for men to have optimal health they should have sex over 600 times a year. When I broke that down, that was twice a day (if you subtracted the time a woman was on her period and you didn't see any activity). I read Dr. Oz's statement when we were eating fairly healthy years ago but we weren't heavy juicers or mostly vegans and I thought he was nuts. I was happy with my sex life and several times a week was ample for me. How could anyone have the energy or time for twice a day?

When we started juicing until dinner for several months, my energy increased dramatically. My sex drive increased with it. Daily activity seemed like no problem but this idea about twice daily still seemed far fetched. When we started eating primarily vegan and ate a lot of raw food, my energy took another leap. Twice a day is not only possible but easy. If you eat right and go to bed on time, between 10 pm and 11 pm for us, you have enough energy then. You automatically wake up ready to go at about 6 am. You have time before you start your day at 7 am like we usually do. Along came an article about yellow watermelon and Viagra like effects. Result? It had my husband buying basket loads of yellow watermelon from KMK Farms yesterday.

Most people haven't eaten a yellow watermelon but it tastes much like a regular watermelon. The key benefit though is found in the rind. If you eat 6 cups of rind and flesh (my husband peeled the skin and ate the rind with the watermelon) studies show it has Viagra like effects. Better than Viagra is the fact that not only can it help erectile dysfunction, there is speculation that long term consumption can produce long term results.  Other benefits of yellow watermelon: Citrulline, found in yellow watermelon combines with the bodies enzymes to produce arginine which is what some body builders take in chemical form. Yellow watermelon is good to assist with blood circulation, angina, high blood pressure and of course sex drive. With all these benefits, we see the truth about Hippocrates statement "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Of course watermelon taste better than medicine.

Big question is how are you going to eat 6 cups of yellow watermelon rind and flesh easily? Easy, juice it! Don't have a juicer? We'll make it for you on our Norwalk which preserves 90% of the nutritional value. Watermelon Juice $5 with rind, made fresh for you. Or buy a watermelon $3. Mark ate one whole mini watermelon yesterday and felt a flush which slightly reminded him of the flush he got when he took niacin. Read more at www.watermelonrind.com

So what are you waiting for. Yellow Watermelon up while it's in season! Can't hurt and will definintely help give your body nutrition not found in most of your food sources.

Yours in health, hope and happiness.
