Subject: FW: Try it - Bananas
TRY IT IS WORTH?
A professor at CCNY for aphysiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the ex-pression"going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:
Never, put your banana inthe refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a bananain the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combinedwith fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost ofenergy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with theworld's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also helpovercome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making ita must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent surveyundertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt muchbetter after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, atype 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 vitaminB6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate theproduction of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit isextremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat bloodpressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed thebanana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce therisk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham(Middlesex) 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 thatthe potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas inthe diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problemwithout resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing ahangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calmsthe stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugarlevels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effectin the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothingrelief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas betweenmeals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insectbite 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 helpcalm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychologyin Austriafound pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate andchips.. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obesewere more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, toavoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels bysnacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady..
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary foodagainst intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It isthe only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the liningof the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures seebananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical andemotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnantwomen eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas canhelp SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also helppeople trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as thepotassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effectsof nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helpsnormalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body'swater balance.. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, therebyreducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of ahigh-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New EnglandJournal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the riskof death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swearthat if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place iton the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with aplaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for manyills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice thecarbohydrate, 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 isone of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-knownphrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are sohappy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Takethe INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with drycloth. Amazing fruit !!!
