There may be some truth in this one























The Banana





Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!





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 fibre. 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.








Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of


haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.











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 (Middlesex) school


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 fibre, 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


food like chocolate and crisps. 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-chronicler cases. 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.




















Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD


sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer


tryptophan.











Smoking %26amp;Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to


give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the


potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover


from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.











Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize


the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your


body's water balance When we are stressed, our metabolic rate


rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be


rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.











Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of


Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the


risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!











Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you


want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place


it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the


skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!





























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!"











PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS


PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the


time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes??


Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the


shoe...polish with dry cloth.











Amazing fruit!
