Bananas :

Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect food for helping 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 fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore 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 a banana. This is because bananas contain trypotophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin – known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.​

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.

Heart-burn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heart-burn, 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 – such as bananas – every two hours to keep levels steady.

PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Ulcers: 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-chronic ulcer cases. It also neutralises 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, trypotophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking, as the high levels of Vitamin C, A1, 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 normalise the heartbeat, 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 re-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

 

A couple of things to keep in mind.

• NEVER give honey to babies under a year old. It may contain a form of Botulism, which is harmless to older people, but can paralyze the respiratory system of a baby. Cooking does not kill this bacteria at all. Keep babies away from all honey, even cooked honey.
• People with migraines NEED to be careful with bananas. It contains Tyramine and Esters which can trigger migraines in people. If you get migraines, you may have to completely stay away from bananas. I have horrible migraines and even a half of a banana will send me into absolute terrible pain for several days. I used to LOVE bananas.

 

Good stuff man, got any more good ideas like that?

 

damn migraines

 

Amen, sister. I LOVE bananas. (And forget about alcohol, that is like near suicide for me.)

 

I get heartburn from lots of things, and bananas are one of them, as weird as it sounds...

 

No, I do too. I am not big on bananas, but they can make me get the burpies and vurpies.

 

It could be either the esters (which is a form of alcohol) or the fiber. I like them, too, but alas, they are out of my ability to eat.

Also eaten either too ripe or not ripe enough will give you gas.

I find bananas give me bad heartburn. I don't know if it's the sugars converting to acids or what.

 

I never saw this info but am happy to see it since both honey and banana's are consumed here on a regular basis :cheers2:

 

You should watch out for bananas if you are diabetic, they can raise the blood sugars like an OHenry bar can
Also the honey should be a good quality, bought at a health store when used for medicinal reasons. Regular store bought is Ok if its a regular use idea. I get my daily use honey from a local farm here rather then the grocery store.
For heart burn, chew mint gum if you can or will chew gum. It exercizes the esophagus and pushes the acids back down. If you chew often you might find like I did that heart burn rarely comes to get you anymore.
When I was working out of the house and was first aid peeps would come to me looking for an antacid. I would encourage them to check out the candy machine in the lunchroom first, buy a pack of gum and come back if it dont work. Many said I chew but never knew I should during heart burn. Only a few came back for an antacid.

 

I'm sure you could find an unbelievably long list like that about any reasonably healthy food. Find a food you already like, and then justify eating it, by finding a long list of all the benefits to make yourself feel better.

I don't get hangovers anyway. And fructose is toxic to the liver.. it's the only sugar(as far as I know) that's considered bad
