Yummy Bananas
We all love bananas, but even I didn’t know how deliciously healthy these yellow fruits are. Containing three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose – combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, and sustained boost of energy.
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 high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect food for helping to beat blood pressure.
Constipation: Bananas are high in fiber, which restores normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating 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.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals
helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. ( Does a great job with this).
PMS: Forget the pills eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it has regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water-balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, there by reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
