Yes, We Have Bananas !

Did you know ?
Bananas are good, very good for you.

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. (TRYPTOPHAN the
trigger for seretonin to help you sleep is also in milk and is the reason
some find a glass of warm milk at night relaxes them.

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 perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the

US Food & Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry

to make official claims for the fruits ability to reduce the risk of

blood pressure and stroke.

CONSTIPATION

High in fibre, 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.

NERVES

Bananas are high in B vitamins that help the nervous system.

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 nody recover from effects of nicotine withdrawal.

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 with a plaster or surgical tape.

So a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills.
