RANDOM TIDBITS

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose
and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant,
sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has
proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a
strenuous 90-minute workout.

***

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
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.

***

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.

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.

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-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity
and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the
stomach.
