You’ll Never Look at a Banana in the Same Way Again After Reading This

I remember how happy I was as a child when my mom brought bananas, oranges and other tropical fruits that were in rather short supply back then.

Nowadays, with all this diversity and easy access to fruits, we take them for granted and unfortunately, don’t even tap into the immense potential of modern markets.

Take the banana, for instance, a fruit that we can buy in large supplies tastes great and is inexpensive. Plenty of studies have been made regarding its beneficial effect on the body, but when you have all the facts right under your nose, it is virtually impossible to look away.

Few fruits are as effective in replenishing out depleted energy levels as bananas, and even less can help in overcoming depression quickly. Bananas are also rich in iron, and they assist in increasing the production of hemoglobin, so those who suffer from anemia should ingest large quantities.

Bananas enhance brain functions and reduce the blood pressure, therefore decreasing the risk of strokes and few know that these fruits are also a great cure for hangovers. Last but not least, I’d suggest a diet rich in bananas for those suffering from constipation, PMS and morning sickness, instead of drugs.

Discover the many health benefits and reasons to add them to your diet:

DEPRESSION:

depression-1According 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:

pms-1Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.





ANEMIA:

anemia-1High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.





BLOOD PRESSURE:

blood-pressure-1This 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:

brain-power200 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:

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:

hangoverOne 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:

heartburnBananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.





MORNING SICKNESS:

morning-sicknessSnacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.





MOSQUITO BITES:

mosquito-bitesBefore 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:

nerves-food-cravingsBananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found the pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like 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:

ulcerThe 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:

temp-controlMany 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.
