Not only is watermelon and its high citrulline content beneficial for post-workout recovery, but it may also be good in pre-workout regimens since it allows for more intense training and faster recovery after each workout. watermelons actually have a very abundant supply of both calcium and potassium, each of which contributes to helping flush out the toxins in the body’s kidneys, the calcium provided by watermelon is important for regulating cell functions, maintaining cell structure, and benefiting the cell differentiation process. Extra calcium also aids in reducing the concentration of uric acid in the blood, too much uric acid can cause hyperuricemia, which will make you very sick . By decreasing any extra amounts of this acid; the calcium and potassium in watermelon help to reduce the chances of kidney diseases. Because watermelons are rich in such carotenoids and antioxidants, they are the perfect remedy for preventing mascular degeneration. Watermelon and Digestion; Watermelon has both a rich water and fiber content, this juicy fruit easily helps promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract. Source. Jalapeños are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Many of these jalapeño health benefits center around their overall level of capsaicin. Capsaicin is the substance responsible for creating the wide variety of heat levels of chili peppers. The ingestion or even external application of capsaicin has been shown to cause an endorphin response, which can help block pain receptors in humans. This can be extremely beneficial to those who suffer from bothersome conditions such as arthritis, headaches, or even neuropathic pain. The capsaicin found in chilies is very popular in many diet pill formulas, and there’s a very good reason. It literally burns calories and fat, and the heat it creates helps you sweat out excess water weight. Eating more jalapeños is a terrific natural alternative to these pills. It can help you meet your diet goals in the tastiest way possible. Jalapeño heat has the natural ability to get even the most clogged nostrils running. Eating jalapeños (or using a capsaicin spray) increases your mucous creation, which, in turn, loosens up any nasal blockages. Jalapeños provide potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, flavinoids, and other essential minerals. These minerals affect things like improving digestion, improving bone density, lowering blood pressure, fighting free radicals, and calming the nervous system. Source.
