> Bananas. 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 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
> haemoglobin 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'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.
>
> 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: 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 THIS ON TO ALL OF YOUR ON-LINE FRIENDS and FAMILY
>
> PS Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!
