25 Powerful Reasons to Eat Bananas

April 10, 2014

If you think bananas are just for monkeys, think again.

1. Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin — the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.
2. Eat two bananas before a strenuous workout to pack an energy punch and sustain your blood sugar.
3.Protect against muscle cramps during workouts and nighttime leg cramps by eating a banana.
4.Counteract calcium loss during urination and build strong bones by supplementing with a banana.
5.Improve your mood and reduce PMS symptoms by eating a banana, which regulates blood sugar and produces stress-relieving relaxation.
6.Bananas reduce swelling, protect against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen the nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high levels of vitamin B-6.
7.Strengthen your blood and relieve anemia with the added iron from bananas.
8.High in potassium and low in salt, bananas are officially recognized by the FDA as being able to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke.

Eating Bananas Aids Digestion

9.Rich in pectin, bananas aid digestion and gently chelate toxins and heavy metals from the body.
10.Bananas act as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of friendly bacteria in the bowel. They also produce digestive enzymes to assist in absorbing nutrients.
11.Constipated? High fiber in bananas can help normalize bowel motility.
12.Got the runs? Bananas are soothing to the digestive tract and help restore lost electrolytes after diarrhoea.
13.Bananas are a natural antacid, providing relief from acid reflux, heartburn and GERD.
14.Bananas are the only raw fruit that can be consumed without distress to relieve stomach ulcers by coating the lining of the stomach against corrosive acids.

Natural Cures From A Simple Banana

15. Eating bananas will help prevent kidney cancer, protects the eyes against macular degeneration and builds strong bones by increasing calcium absorption.
16.Bananas make you smarter and help with learning by making you more alert. Eat a banana before an exam to benefit from the high levels of potassium.
17.Bananas are high in antioxidants, providing free radicals and protection from chronic disease.
18.Eating a banana between meals helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce nausea from morning sickness.
19.Rub a bug bite or hives with the inside of the banana peel to relieve itching and irritation.
20.Control blood sugar and avoid binging between meals by eating a banana.
21.Eating a banana can lower the body temperature and cool you during a fever or on a hot day.
22.The natural mood-enhancer tryptophan, helps to relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
23.Quitting smoking? Bananas contain high levels of B-vitamins as well as potassium and magnesium to speed recovery from the effects of withdrawal.
24.Remove a wart by placing the inside of a piece of banana peel against the wart and taping it in place.
25.Rub the inside of a banana peel on your leather shoes or handbag and polish with a dry cloth for a quick shine.

Oh, and remember — bananas make great snacks and delicious smoothies.

    The one problem with bananas, as well as all vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts, is that there is a massive glut of nutrient-empty bananas coming out from large agribusiness farms, orchards and processing plants (where the bananas and other produce are artificially ripened).  Good quality bananas and produce are quite expensive (because of ongoing efforts by large agribusiness corporations to maintain corporate control over food production).  Check out Food Matters TV and Pivot TV:

Live & Die for Buddhism

Me & Grandma

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
