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 (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 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.
