What Watermelon Will Do To Women Trying To Conceive by ascek(m): 6:12pm On Nov 13, 2016
There is much awareness that water melon improve libido for both men and women. Watermelon though 92% water has the remaining 8% containing phytonutrient citrulline which converts to arginine an amino acid which relaxes the blood vessels. More so watermelon helps to improve blood flow to erectile tissue like the clitoral area in women and the penis in men, thus increasing arousal. While the consumption of watermelon in plenty may be seen as beneficial to man, it may not be so for women who are trying to conceive.

Watermelon, like tomatoes, contains the antioxidant lycopene, which is in the same family as carotene and therefore has the same beneficial antioxidant effects. On the one hand, that's great since carotene, found in many brightly coloured foods, has been shown to lower the risk of cancer and heart disease. But it is also anti-estrogenic, so a very high volume may block estrogen and prevent the lining of the uterus from growing and the fertilized egg from implanting. A daily consumption 30.0 milligrams lycopene from all sources like watermelon and tomatoes is just right.

Consequently, it should be advised that you don't because you have read that watermelon helps to enhance libido begin to consume watermelon above recommended requirements for those who want to conceive.
