Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!...
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.
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!'
Unknown Facts also,
