Pepenele roşu este benefic pentru tratarea disfuncţiilor sexuale masculine, potrivit rezultatelor unui studiu realizat de o echipă de cercetători americani.

Potrivit cercetătorului Bhimu Patil, de la Universitatea din Texas, pepenele conţine citrulină, care poate creşte fluxul sangvin în regiunea penisului, având acelaşi efect asupra organismului ca acela pe care îl are o pastilă de Viagra, informează site-ul mirror.co.uk.

Citrulina este transformată într-un aminoacid numit arginină în momentul în care se amestecă cu enzimele din organism.

Patil a spus: “Arginina contribuie la creÅŸterea nivelului de oxid nitric, ce relaxează pereÅ£ii vaselor de sânge, având acelaÅŸi efect ca cel al pastilei Viagra în tratarea disfuncÅ£iilor erectile ÅŸi, poate, în prevenirea acestora”.

Specialistul recomandă, însă, bărbaţilor cu probleme să nu renunţe definitiv la Viagra, deoarece, pentru a avea parte de acelaşi efect ca acela al pastilei, trebuie să consume cel puţin şase ceşti de pepene roşu - în special coaja.

De asemenea, specialiştii avertizează că pepenele roşu are şi efect diuretic, impunând multe vizite la toaletă.

Emotii mai mari decat pe scena pentru cantareata Nicoleta Matei, alias Nico. Ea a absolvit abia anul acesta liceul si a dat bacalaureatul intr-o discretie maxima. Vedeta, in varsta de 38 de ani, si-a terminat studiile la liceul particular “Sansa” din Ploiesti, iar examenul de absolvire l-a sustinut la Colegiul Economic “Virgil Madgearu”. Membrii comisiei de examinare au fost surprinsi sa o vada la un loc cu pustii de 17- 18 ani. 

Ca sa atraga cat mai putin atentia, cantareata a venit deghizata la examene ascunzandu-si fata in spatele unor ochelari de soare. Chiar si “camuflata”, elevii si profesorii liceului au recunoscut-o pe indragita cantareata.

Jale. Autorul ingrozitoarei crime a incercat sa se sinucida, dar a scapat cu cateva oase rupte

O crima teribila, care i-ar putea inspira pe producatorii de filme horror, i-a ingrozit pe ieseni. Florin Astefanoaiei, in varsta de 39 de ani, si-a ucis cu sange rece mama, joi seara, apoi a decapitat-o si i-a expus capul pe pervazul apartamentului in care locuia. In cele din urma, el a sarit pe geam, cu o cruce si o sabie in mana, incercand sa-si puna capat zilelor.

A supravietuit si cand a deschis ochii, le-a marturisit vecinilor fapta sa, spunand ca a fost “lucrarea Diavolului”. Socati, acestia au ridicat privirile si au vazut capul insangerat pe pervaz. Astefanoaiei a scapat doar cu cateva oase fracturate si a fost transportat la spitalul “Sf. Spiridon”. El a fost mutat, ieri, la Spitalul de Urgente “Sfantul Ioan” pentru continuarea investigatiilor, fiind pazit in permanenta de politisti.

HILTON, New York (AP) – Greg Lawrence crashed through the underbrush, eyes wide, binoculars swinging from his neck.

“Worm-eating Warbler! Worm-eating Warbler! That’s a lifer for me,” he called to the group of birders he was leading on a woodland trek near Lake Ontario. “Wow. Whew. That made my day. I just got my bins on it before it flew away.”

Lawrence, something of a birding prodigy at age 15 with 305 species already on his life list, explained that the Worm-eating Warbler is a rare sight so far north. The drab, greenish bird, hard to spot as it forages for caterpillars in dense underbrush, nests in the Appalachians and points south.

“It occasionally overshoots its breeding grounds and rests here,” he said.

The wayward warbler is just one of myriad species of songbirds, shorebirds, raptors and waterfowl found along the shores of Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River and Lake Erie, a region known as the Seaway Trail.

While avid birders have long flocked to the region, particularly during the spring and fall migration when incredible numbers of birds can be spotted, many people are unaware of the avian bounty here.

NEW YORK (CNN) — Who said LEGO is just child’s play?

Since CNN spoke with LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya a year ago, his popularity has skyrocketed. Just check out his clientele.

Donald Trump recently asked Sawaya to create a replica of the new hotel he’s building in Dubai. With 10 days to complete it, and only architectural renderings to work from, Sawaya toiled away in his Manhattan studio snapping tiny bricks together, barely sleeping, to finish the curvy 10-foot statue in time for its unveiling.

His work has also created a, well … buzz with entertainers.

Sawaya built a 4-foot bumblebee for Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz to offer his new bride, Ashlee Simpson, as a wedding gift. Stephen Colbert wanted a piece of the action too. The comedian invited Sawaya on his show last August to present a life-size LEGO Colbert replica.

“He loved it,” says Sawaya. “He called it actual art!”

While being recognized as an artist — rather than a hobbyist — hasn’t been easy for Sawaya, some of his more evocative pieces appear to be breaking down barriers.

(AP) — Oil prices fell more than $1 a barrel Friday from record levels set a day earlier on hopes that tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program could ease and cut the chances of American or Israeli military action against OPEC’s second-largest oil producer.

Iran on Friday gave an undisclosed response to an international offer of economic and other incentives if it suspends a central part of its nuclear program.

Iran’s ambassador to Belgium presented the response to European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana in Brussels, Iranian state TV reported.

By late afternoon in New York, light, sweet crude for August delivery fell $1.04 to $144.25 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

There was no floor trading Friday in New York because of the July Fourth holiday.

Crude futures reached a record high of $145.85 in New York on Thursday before settling at a record close of $145.29 a barrel. Trading volumes were lower than usual.

In London, Brent crude futures fell $1.15 to $144.93 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Oil prices have risen more than 50 percent so far this year.

(CNN) — They were chained by their necks as punishment — sometimes to a tree or post — other times to each other.

Food was scarce, conditions were deplorable and sickness was frequent during their years of captivity in the Colombian jungle. There was a time, newly freed hostage Ingrid Betancourt said, when she realized she could die.

“I reached a moment where I understood that death was a possibility,” Betancourt said in an interview with France 2 Television. “I had seen my companions die. I knew that death arrives very, very quickly in the jungle.”

Since Betancourt, three American military contractors and 11 Colombian soldiers and police officers were rescued by a Colombian government operation, they and former hostages have provided a glimpse into conditions in the deep jungle, where some of them were held 10 years.

American hostages Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell had been held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia since their drug-surveillance plane went down in the jungle in February 2003.

WIMBLEDON, England - Add up all of Roger Federer’s greatness on grass courts, and the numbers are striking: 40 wins in a row at Wimbledon, 65 overall on the surface.

Now he seeks an additional victory, a victory that would make him the first man since the 1880s to win six consecutive Wimbledon titles, a victory that would give him a 13th Grand Slam championship, one shy of Pete Sampras’ career record.

And a victory that would have to come against his only real rival in today’s game, Rafael Nadal.

No. 1 Federer and No. 2 Nadal set up their third straight showdown in the Wimbledon final, and sixth meeting in a major title match, by handily beating unseeded opponents Friday. Federer eliminated Marat Safin 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the first semifinal, and Nadal defeated Rainer Schuettler 6-1, 7-6 (3), 6-4.

“There’s one more left,” Federer said. “I don’t think it matters really a lot if I’m the favorite or not. I’m on an incredible winning streak on grass. First somebody has to be able to break that before we start talking differently.”
