This is interesting. After reading this, you’ll never
look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose,
fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A
banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial
boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide
enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
No wonder the banana is the number one fruit
with the world’s leading athletes.
But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us
keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a
substantial number of illnesses and conditions,
making it a must to add to our daily diet.
DEPRESSION
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND
amongst people suffering from depression, many
felt much better after eating a banana. This is
because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of
protein that the body converts into serotonin,
known to make you relax, improve your mood and
generally make you feel happier.
PMS:
Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it
contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can
affect your mood.
ANEMIA
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production
of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of
anemia.
BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in
potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat
blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug
Administration has just allowed the banana
industry to make official claims for the fruit’s
ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and
stroke.
BRAIN POWER
200 students at a Twickenham school ( England )
were helped through their exams this year by
eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a
bid to boost their brain power. Research has
shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist
learning by making pupils more alert.
CONSTIPATION
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can
help restore normal bowel action, helping to
overcome the problem without resorting to
laxatives.
HANGOVERS
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to
make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.
The banana calms the stomach and, with the help
of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels,
while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your
system.
HEARTBURN
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body,
so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a
banana for soothing relief.
MORNING SICKNESS
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep
blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
MOSQUITO BITES:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try
rubbing the affected area with the inside of a
banana skin. Many people find it amazingly
successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
NERVES
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the
nervous system..
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of
Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads
to gorging on comfort foodlike chocolate and chips.
Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers
found the most obese were more likely to be in
high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to
avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to
control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high
carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels
steady.
ULCERS
The banana is used as the dietary food against
intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and
smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be
eaten without distress in over-chroniclercases. It
also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation
by coating the lining of the stomach.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Many other cultures see bananas as a ‘cooling’
fruit that can lower both the physical and
emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In
Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat
bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool
temperature.
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many
ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR
TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate,
THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the
vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins
and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is
one of the best value foods around So maybe its
time to change that well-known phrase so that we
say, ‘A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!’
