Please, let us endeavour to play by the simple rules of commenting "UP IMASTEX" after any successful recharge. This is just away of confirming to us and others that it was actually valid. Or was it recharged by a guest on Nairaland?

Social media madness: Welcome to the new world where people now think and do crazy things just to be noticed on social media. I pity this generation for what is to come!

Round table the best place to discuss

lonikit:
Levite's are equivalent to full time pastors in this generation. there are pastors who do not do anytin aside the work of God.

I would advise you to recheck the bible to know those truly called Levite's. All believers in Christ are the Levite if you don't know. They were all given the mandate to preach to all nations.

Okay,

It is funny how some Christians still thing it is their good speaking abilities that brings "sinners" into repentance. For God sake, what is now the work of the holy ghost? Simply saying Jesus loves you is enough for the holy ghost to amplify in the persons heart.

Wow!!

Hmm

funmi4love:
How can someone use it? Can we chew it or dry it and grind it into powder

It depends.
* It can simply be chewed along side the juicy part
* Chewed after drying
* Add few dried seeds into hot water and sip as tea
* Use as powder, etc

Note: Don't dry under direct "hot" sunlight

We have simply made a tea using a blend of watermelon seeds and other fruits components to help men restore and maintain a good erectile system generally.

If you have been throwing away your watermelon seeds while consuming the watermelon juicy parts only. You may want to reconsider your decision on that after reading this article on the health benefits of watermelon seeds. Here are some benefits of consuming watermelon seeds:

1. Promote Heart Health

The magnesium in watermelon seeds greatly contributes to heart health. It aids in normal heart functioning and regulates blood pressure.

As per a Kentucky study, the beneficial effects of watermelon seeds on the heart could be due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory (widening of blood vessels) properties. The seeds are also a rich source of a substance called citrulline, which has been found to reduce aortic blood pressure – ultimately protecting the heart. The extract of the seeds was also found to lower cholesterol levels.

One American study also throws light on the importance of magnesium in this aspect. Magnesium is one of the minerals that contribute to electrolyte balance in the body – a factor important for cardiovascular stability. And in patients with congestive heart failure, the presence of sufficient total body magnesium serves as an aid.

Low magnesium concentrations, especially at the time of surgery, can lead to cardiac glycoside toxicity. This basically means deficiency of magnesium can be lethal, more so in heart patients. And electrolyte abnormalities, as we saw, and potentially dangerous for patients with heart failure. Magnesium is also important in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat rhythm).

As per a report by the Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, watermelon seeds can help lower blood pressure levels. To achieve this, you can dry the seeds and then boil them in water to drink as tea.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, dietary intake of magnesium has been linked to lowered risk of sudden cardiac death. Also, calcium needs magnesium (at precise ratios) to ensure your heart functions properly. But then, exercise caution and take advice when it comes to taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium helps the blood vessels relax – but it is also important to note that too much of magnesium can lead to a diuretic effect – excess of the mineral can be lost through urine, and this decreases its levels in the body.

Watermelon seeds are also rich in zinc, which plays a key role in heart health. It regulates the way calcium moves in your heart cells. This is important as excessive calcium levels can lead to heart failure. And patients with congestive heart failure were found to have severe zinc deficiency, which simply explains why this mineral is so important for the heart.

2. Improve Male Fertility

The zinc in watermelon seeds is important for the male reproductive system. According to a Chinese study, zinc supplementation can significantly enhance sperm quality of infertile men. Also, zinc is only second to iron as the most abundant element in human tissues. And trace elements like zinc play a major role in the male reproductive system as they exhibit high activity at the molecular level. Studies have also found lower levels of zinc in the seminal plasma of infertile men than that in normal males. Though further studies are required, the possibility is encouraging.

The seeds of the watermelon fruit are also good sources of manganese. As per the University of Maryland Medical Center, low levels of manganese can also contribute to infertility (13).

3. Aid Diabetes Treatment

According to an Iranian study, watermelon seeds have positive effects on the accumulation of glycogen stores, which can aid diabetes treatment. The extracts of the seeds are considered antidiabetic, given their ability to decrease plasma glucose levels.

A report by the International Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences talks about the omega-6 fatty acids in watermelon seeds, stating that they might help prevent type 2 diabetes. Another study links low dietary magnesium intake to the development of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Numerous cases of type 2 diabetes were linked to magnesium deficits. And in certain rat studies, magnesium supplementation was found to delay the onset of diabetes. Another study conducted on nondiabetic African Americans showed that low dietary magnesium was associated with insulin resistance.

The magnesium in watermelon seeds was also found to prevent insulin dysregulation (which can cause diabetes). And if you are opting for magnesium supplements, you can go for magnesium threonate – which has been showing promise in the recent times due to its ability to penetrate cell membranes. However, consult your doctor first – as certain experts express their apprehension towards the use of magnesium supplements.

Studies have also found that prediabetics almost always have low magnesium intake. The mineral is also vital to activate tyrosine kinase, an enzyme required for the proper function of insulin receptors. A problematic digestive system and alcoholism can also impair the body’s absorption of magnesium, which might eventually lead to diabetes. Regardless of the person’s bodyweight, magnesium can play a protective role against diabetes. It can also lower the blood pressure in diabetes patients.

The zinc in the seeds, as per studies, was found to have beneficial effects on glycemic control. The mineral is also important in insulin action and carbohydrate metabolism. And believe it or not – zinc deficiency is on the rise in several countries, the very same countries with an increase in diabetes cases. According to the American Diabetes Association, higher zinc intake is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes in women. However, it is important to note that there could be differences in how people respond to zinc. Hence, take advice from your doctor if you are planning to take zinc supplements.

4. Strengthen Hair

Apart from strengthening hair, magnesium plays a role in preventing hair breakage – consequently promoting hair growth. Low levels of magnesium, as per certain studies, could accelerate hair loss. It is important to note that your hair goes through changes every seven years – and consuming adequate magnesium is one of the ways to preserve your tresses.

As per a Korean study, zinc inhibits hair follicle regression and even accelerates the recovery of hair follicles.

5. Cleanse Skin And Improve Skin Health

The magnesium in the seeds can help improve your skin’s overall appearance. It reduces acne and treats other skin issues. The mineral achieves this by lowering cortisol levels, improving cellular processes, and balancing hormones.

Topical magnesium can also treat redness or rosacea. It cleanses the skin from deep within and prevents any future issues. It can also prevent wrinkles as the enzymes that regulate DNA replication and repair need the mineral to do their job. Also, skin cells that grow without magnesium were found to be twice as likely to suffer from attacks from free radicals.

Skin allergies like eczema are a common symptom of magnesium deficiency. Low magnesium levels make the body create histamines – which cause itchy skin (due to the swelling of blood vessels that eventually leak fluid into the skin and tissues). Low levels of magnesium also reduce the levels of fatty acids on the skin – this leads to reduced skin elasticity and moisture, causing inflammation and dry skin.

Magnesium also helps combat stress, which can, in a way, reduce acne. Some rare forms of acne have been linked to zinc deficiency – and since watermelon seeds are rich in zinc, they can help in this regard.

Zinc is also used to treat herpes simplex infections and accelerate wound healing.

Seun, Lalasticlala you may help to let others know. Wishing all a healthy weekend from Imastex Herbal.

sanky346:
Great work you are doing. However take it a bit further. Do the chemical and biological analysis, conduct clinical screening, do toxicity test and let the efficacy and safety be confirmed and documented. Get NAFDAC approval, get partners or funders and turn this into a big business. Don't be in a hurry to get to the marketplace if you have a great idea or product. Take your time to properly incubate and nurture it. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for the remarks. That is in place at bolded. Others are on courses. . .thanks for the advise and contribution.

Couples trying to conceive should do STD checks. STD’s stand for sexually transmitted diseases. Most people believe they and their partners are STD-free. However, there are some STD’s which can be asymptomatic, meaning that you may not be aware you have them, as there are no obvious symptoms.

One of such is a Chlamydia infection. In men, a Chlamydia infection can lead to sperm abnormalities, including sperm antibodies. In women, it can lead to scarring, blocked tubes, and miscarriage.

A study found 60 per cent of asymptomatic male partners of infected females attending a fertility clinic to be infected with Chlamydia. Most STD’s are easy to treat, so it pays for both partners to have an STD check. There is no point in only one partner going for a test as the other partner can re-infect them again.

There is a common misconception that egg and sperm quality cannot be improved. In fact, it is possible to improve the quality of your egg and sperm; however, it takes 120 days. This is because it takes approximately 120 days for eggs to mature and sperm to develop.

During the generation and maturation of gamete cells – sperm and ovum – that form an embryo, everything that you and your partner ingest, inhale or are exposed to will influence the health of your eggs and sperm for better or worse, and the ultimate quality of the genetic building blocks you pass onto your child.

This is why it’s crucial to follow a good preconception plan for a minimum of two to four months before conception. A baby is a 50 to 50 product of his or her parents; therefore, optimising the quality of eggs and sperm is of paramount importance. Sperm disorders contribute to 40 per cent of infertility cases. Women who suffer from recurrent miscarriages often have partners with low sperm counts and visually abnormal sperm.

If you are going to have a house guest, the first thing you do is to clean the guest room and ensure overall comfort, the same should obtain for a baby that will be a guest of the womb for a period of nine months.

Therefore, both partners should detox, follow a fertility diet, take preconception supplements and avoid reproductive toxins discussed in this article for a minimum of four months before conception.

Take supplements

Take a good-quality preconception and pregnancy supplement. Regardless of whether you are eating organic produce and a healthy diet, you are unlikely to be getting all the nutrients your body needs for optimal fertility from your diet. This is why supplementation is important.
Getting pregnant and growing a new human being with your own reserves requires a surplus of nutrients and energy. In your body’s accounting terms, pregnancy is a luxury, a splurge of energy and nutrients. Some of the key nutrients for fertility are:

Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium, Calcium, B12, B6, Folic acid, Vitamin C, Omega-3 fats

Avoid coffee, smoking, and alcohol

You may not want to hear this, but drinking coffee decreases fertility. A large study from Connecticut found as little as one cup of coffee per day increases the risk of not conceiving by 55 per cent. And if you have two to three cups per day that risk rises to 100 per cent and continues to increase with an additional cup up to 176 per cent. And did you know that women who drank coffee before and during pregnancy had twice the risk of miscarriage?

Alcohol is harmful to women’s eggs and men’s sperm and as little as one glass can reduce fertility by 50 per cent! This can further lead to the damage of the developing embryo and may result in miscarriage. And although it has been known for a long time that drinking while pregnant is a no-no, drinking before pregnancy has been largely ignored. This doesn’t stop with coffee and alcohol. Smoking and recreational drugs can also reduce your odds of conception.
A study tested the effects of cigarette smoking on semen quality in men and found that sperm motility (ability to propel forward) decreased in light smokers while heavy smoking produced abnormal sperm shape.

Scientists have discovered that quitting smoking may increase sperm count in men who quit smoking for five to 15 months, 50 per cent to 800 per cent respectively.

Couples must however know that conventional IVF and other assisted reproductive technology treatments do not address the root causes of infertility.

These causes include nutritional deficiencies, toxic exposure, stress, food intolerances, allergies and immune deficiencies. These subtle but critical factors interact synergistically to impact the quality of your eggs and sperm, affecting your ability to conceive and the health of your embryo.

Media reports of grandparents funding their children’s IVF treatments in the hope of a grandchild illustrate the financial strain these treatments can pose to couples.

While celebrities and wealthy couples can afford it, many struggle as treatments cost a lot especially with the current exchange rate. Globally, IVF cost is between $5,000 and $150,000 per live birth depending on the centre.

IVF should be the last option after all natural treatment options have been exhausted. It should never be the first. The rate of success of IVF is (on average) 25 per cent per single attempt. Studies show that by following a natural preconception programme prior to attempting IVF, the success rate is increased to 47.1 per cent per single attempt.
I always advise couples to undertake a preconception programme as a first step and reserve IVF as a final option. Most infertility can be treated without IVF. However, if IVF is needed the success rate of each attempt is nearly doubled by combining it with a natural preconception programme.

A medical detoxification process for conception

It is now well accepted that a good medically supervised detoxification has a great place in helping to rid the body of these environmental toxins that can be hazardous to the reproductive system.

Our experience in the last four years with Mayr therapy confirms and speaks volume of the various toxins present in the body with reproductive harm. We have equally been impressed by the success of our results which was presented at World Fertility Congress in September 2016 in New Delhi

My sincere prayers is for God to attend/do a miracle in the lives of those currently going through conception challenges. And the needed strength for the partners to have faith and patience with one another.

Lol. . .this woman, you get mouth

I agree. But why will he be granted a radio interview, to what end?

Africa. . .A long walk to freedom.

Okay. . .

Politically expected of him to say. Meanwhile, there is no option to peace.

veraponpo:
If you hear that power has dropped to 1000 MW, you will easily believe it but it is hard for you to believe a good news with positive impact on lives and properties

That is because the people don't need to be told that power has increased or things are getting better. It is the people that should be commending the government that things have improved from personal experience.

Wow!

pmc01:
I barely understand this story and I am surprised he is speaking from a radio station and not a police station.

If he didn't rape or molest a child. He wouldn't be in the police station. And if their own law doesn't criminalised the act of him laying his daughters. He won't still be arrested. The position of the law for you!
