Have A Banana

If you want a quick fix for flagging energy levels
there's no better snack than a banana.

Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and
glucose - combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant,
sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proved that just two bananas provide enough
energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the
banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading
athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep
fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial
number of illnesses and conditions making it a must to
add to your daily diet.

f you want a quick fix for flagging energy levels
there's no better snack than a banana.

Besides being a quick fix for flagging energy levels
during the day, bananas can also help overcome or prevent
a substantial number of illnesses and conditions making
it a must to add to your daily diet.

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 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 fiber, 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.
