How to make Job's tears, lotus seeds and watermelon ice porridge

1. Soak the silver bait, coreless lotus seeds and coix seeds the night before (this way they will be easier to cook).

2. Make a bag of ice using an ice pack.

3. The next morning, cook the silver bait, coreless lotus seeds, and coix seeds separately. You can add rock sugar according to your personal taste. Use a spoon to take a few watermelon balls and a few peanuts. After the ingredients have cooled, take a large bowl (preferably with a sealed lid), put all the ingredients in, sprinkle a little sugar on top, then add ice cubes on top, sprinkle some more sugar, cover the lid, seal it, and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours.

4. Turn it over when eating, and you can enjoy a bowl of cool summer soup.

According to the website of the Physicists' Organization, eating a slice of watermelon on a summer day may be a nice treat, but according to recent research, this juicy fruit may actually be more suitable for Valentine's Day because it may have the effect of Viagra.

"The more we study watermelon, the more we are surprised by its ability to provide a natural boost to the body," said Dr. Bhumi Patil, director of the Texas A&M University Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center. "We have always known that watermelon is good for health, but every new study reveals new ways it may benefit your health."

The beneficial ingredients in watermelon and other fruits and vegetables are believed to be herbal minerals, which are naturally occurring compounds that are bioactive, or have the ability to interact with the body to promote health. Herbal minerals in watermelon include lycopene, carotene, and the rising star citrulline.

Now, citrulline's health benefits have been further confirmed by its ability to relieve blood vessel pressure, similar to the effect of Viagra.

Scientists have found that when you eat watermelon, citrulline is converted into arginine by a specific enzyme. Arginine is an amino acid that has a miraculous effect on the heart and circulatory system, ensuring that the immune system works well. Patil said: "The relationship between citrulline and arginine helps the heart and immune system develop healthily, and may prove beneficial to patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes through trials. Arginine increases the amount of nitric oxide in the blood, which can relieve blood vessel pressure (Viagra has the same effect), treat erectile dysfunction, and may also prevent erectile problems."
