Fights Heart Disease, Heart Attack and StrokeEating watermelon reduces pressure on the aorta and on the heart! Why? Watermelon contains the compounds arginine and citrulline, both of which reduce high blood pressure (by helping relax blood vessels) and therefore reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lycopene is another heart-saver (and is concentrated in high amounts in watermelon), as it helps protect against heart disease.
