Go Bananas over Bananas

Lets start with the benefits of fruits...

Bananas give a substantial instant and sustained boost of energy. They can help overcome or prevent many illnesses and conditions. Bananas contain vitamin B which calms the nervous system as well as potassium, which is depleted in times of stress. This coupled with the low salt content, makes them heart-healthy. Tryptophan is converted by the body into serotonin, a relaxant and mood improver. The vitamin B6 also regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood, as well as help avoid morning sickness.

Bananas are high in iron. A high fibre content can restore regular bowel action. The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders 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.

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. 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.
