After Reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. 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 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 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 helprestore 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 twohours to keep levels steadyUlcers : The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinaldisorders  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 theheartbeat,  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 balanced 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!"<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/lankawebnet/boxsubscribe" target="_blank">for more like this</a></blockquote>
