Two very important thing for which Watermelon is highly praised & noted for is "LYCOPENE & CITRULLINE" which u might never heard before.
Lycopene is an "antioxidants" (Free radicals or toxins remover). The highest concentration of Lycopene is found & produced in the Liver followed by the adrenal gland, ovaries & prostate. It's this Lycopene that gives Watermelon, tomatoes, red bell peppers, red grapes, beetroot & other red pigment fruits & veggies their red & pink color.
Lycopene has been linked with heart, liver, prostate, cancer, toxic overload prevention and many more according to Victoria Sarzabkowski_ a nutritionist with a fitness Institute of Texas University. Note that the more ripened or redder the watermelon is, the more higher of concentration of Lycopene it contains.
Citrulline on the other hand is an amino acids ( building blocks of our cells). Citrulline found in watermelon is converted into a more powerful amino acids called "Arginine". Arginine support the production of "Nitric Oxide"_( a neurotransmitter which act as a vasodilator & the main regulator of blood pressure which opens & widen your blood vessels for proper blood flow & circulation leading to lowering & prevention of high blood pressure, heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke and erectal dysfunction in Men.
