8Watermelon reduces muscle soreness
According to Spanish sports medicine research, it was concluded that if watermelon juice is consumed about an hour prior to training (16 ounces), it will help with muscle soreness. This effect was tied to the fact that watermelon contains citrulline that lowers blood pressure and improves artery function. Recently we could notice that watermelon juice is more and more available in stores and some even claim that it can positively affect your love life. One thing to note is that citrulline is more concentrated in the white rind so be sure to take a little bit of that part as well.
