The Banana
>
>
> Wow, between eating bananas and apples, why should anyone be sick!
>
> Pretty interesting -- the Banana!! After reading THIS, you'll NEVER
> look at the banana in the same way again!!
>
> Home Remedy -- If you want a quick fix for flagging energy levels
> there's no better snack than a banana. Containing 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 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 your 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 the 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: It'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 rehydrate 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.
>
> Ulcers ! -- The b anana 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-chroniculcer 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 -- 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 the body's
> water-balance. When 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 you
