Watermelon is such a delicious juicy snack, refreshing and hydrating, and loaded with electrolytes and beneficial phytochemicals.
In fact, I personally love to start the day in the warm months of the year with fresh watermelon juice mixed with lime and occasionally carrot juice too. It’s one of the best electrolyte drinks you can consume, PLUS it comes with some powerful heart health nutrients…
If you’ve never heard about how powerful watermelon and watermelon juice can be for improving heart health, blood flow, and reducing heart attack risks, then check this out…
Watermelon contains about 20 mg of lycopene per pound of watermelon (more than tomatoes). Most clinical studies on lycopene show that doses of 10-30 mg have profound benefits on lowering heart disease, reducing LDL oxidation, improving artery function, and reducing prostate cancer.
The lycopene in watermelon also helps lower blood pressure and inflammation in your body.
Watermelon is also loaded with a nutrient called citrulline which is proven in studies to boost nitric oxide and improve your blood flow (yes, even down there), as well as exercise performance.
This is another reason why watermelon helps boost heart health and improve blood pressure too.
Watermelon is also shown in studies to help your kidney health, eye health, and reduce cancer risk.
Since heart disease and heart attacks are still the #1 killer, I’m personally doing everything I can to improve my heart health and live longer, and that now includes eating more delicious juicy watermelon!
But did you know that although most of the powerful nutrients that protect your heart, improve blood flow, and lower blood pressure are from unique plant foods like fruits, berries, cacao, coffee, and green tea… There’s actually a really important one from a type of MEAT that is even MORE important…
Duke MD Says: “The #1 Food that Helps Prevent Heart Attacks is NOT Actually a Plant Food”
There are many powerful nutrients in plant foods such as polyphenols, flavanols, lycopene, and bioflavonoids in foods like citrus, berries, dark chocolate and more that help improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and reduce your risk of heart attacks.
However, there’s actually ONE particular nutrient that is ONLY found in certain types of meat that is significantly more important for the strength of your heart than anything else.
If the levels of this one unique nutrient in your heart are LOW, your chances of heart problems skyrocket.
(Hint: it’s NOT omega-3 fats this time.)
This common deficiency doesn’t show up on standard blood work panels.
“Almost everyone forgets their heart is a muscle. And like any muscle… it needs protein-like nutrients to stay strong,” says Dr. Rick Cohen.
Dr. Cohen’s natural solution has helped thousands of people enjoy a healthy heart without living constantly on drugs.
And he has recently released a short video revealing what this uniquely powerful nutrient found in certain types of meat is, and how to get it.
