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.

10 Food Toxins To Stay Away From

1. Stay away from processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, and sausage. Sodium nitrate accounts for their appetizing red hue, but this additive can also cause the formation of nitrosamines in your system, which can lead to cancer.

2. Stick to low-mercury fish like American-farmed tilapia instead of swordfish or tuna. Overexposure can cause memory problems, fatigue, and other health issues, and besides, most wild fish stocks are threatened these days. (Looking for an alternative? There’s branzini, the fish you’ve never heard of.)

3. Reduce the amount of canned food you consume. Cans are commonly lined with bisphenol-A, an organic compound that, according to the Lang study, may be associated with diabetes and heart disease.

4. Cut back on meat and dairy products. These animal products may contain trace amounts of harmful contaminants like polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyl and dioxins. Although many of these toxins have been banned, they are still present in the soil. Reducing your intake of animal products is also more friendly to the environment.
