Watermelon contains citrulline an amino acid that the body converts into arginine. Arginine produces nitric oxide which relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow, which allows the muscles to get more nutrients and protein. Nitric oxide also encourages fat-burning and boosts growth-hormone.
Simply put watermelon helps build lean muscle.
The highest concentration of citrulline is found in the flesh closest to the rind so waste not want not!
“When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat.”
Mark Twain
