Researchers confirmed that the watercress herb not only strengthens the erection process, and contributes to ending the problem of impotence in men, but also has health and reproductive benefits as well.
New research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association has found that eating watercress can do wonders for your heart health, as it prevents the buildup of plaque in the arteries thanks to bioactive phytochemical compounds.
It was also proven in another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, that watercress reduces the risk of cancer.
In this study, the researchers said that increased levels of carotenoids, including lutein and beta-carotene, reduce the chances of developing cancer over time.
Watercress also has aesthetic benefits, as many women resort to it to improve the appearance of the skin, according to the “Women World” website.
In this context, a British study found that 10 out of 11 women (ages 23 to 58) experienced an improvement in the look and feel of their skin following four weeks of adding 80 grams of watercress to their daily diet.
One of the study participants, Ruth McKechney, said her skin “looks smoother to the touch, and her wrinkles are reduced”.
The authors of the study attributed the results that McKinney talked regarding to the high level of vitamins “C” and “E” in watercress, which are necessary for the production of collagen that maintains the elasticity and smoothness of the skin.
