Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 The Scoop about a BANANA.... WOW, amazing!!!After reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!Bananas containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucosecombined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained andsubstantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananasprovide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder thebanana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. Butenergy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can alsohelp overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses andconditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people sufferingfrom depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This isbecause bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the bodyconverts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood andgenerally make you feel happier.PMS:Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulatesblood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.Anemia:High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in theblood and so helps in cases of anemia.Blood Pressure:This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low insalt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, theUS Food and Drug Administration have just allowed the banana industry tomake official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of bloodpressure and stroke.Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped throughtheir exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunchin a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that thepotassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.Constipation:High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normalbowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting tolaxatives.Hangovers:One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover ! is to make a bananamilkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, withthe help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while themilk soothes and re-hydrates your system.Heartburn:Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer fromheartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels upand avoid morning sickness.Mosquito bites:Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected areawith the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazinglysuccessful 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 workleads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were morelikely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoidpanic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levelsby snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levelssteady.Ulcers:The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disordersbecause of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruitthat can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It alsoneutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining ofthe stomach.Temperature control:Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower boththe physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. InThailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their babyis born with a cool temperature.Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural moodenhancer tryptophan.Smoking:Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 theycontain, as well as the potassium and magnesium fo! und in them, helpthe body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.Stress:Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sendsoxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we arestressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassiumlevels.These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.Strokes:According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eatingbananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokesby as much as 40%!So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compareit to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates,three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twicethe other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is oneof the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change thatwell-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctoraway!"PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hype article fails to mention that there are dozens of better food choices, and a lot of articles tell the diabetics to eat them! May as well eat a baked potato.
