The Medicinal Value of Banana

BANANA - Interesting FACTS,
Never put your banana in the
refrigerator!!!

This is interesting. After
reading this, you'll never look
at a banana in the same way
again.

Bananas contain 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
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
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
that the potassium-packed
fruit can assist learning by
making pupils more alert.
