25 Powerful Reason To Eat Banana by Ayoemrys(m): 7:40am On Nov 20, 2016
You'll never look at a banana the same
way again after discovering the many
health benefits and reasons to add them
to your diet. Bananas combat
depression, make you smarter, cure
hangovers, relieve morning sickness,
protect against kidney cancer, diabetes,
osteoporosis, and blindness. They can
cure the itch of a mosquito bite and put
a great shine on your shoes. Here are
25 reasons to eat bananas you might
have never considered before.
If You Think Bananas Are Just For
Monkeys, Think Again
These 25 ways to use and eat bananas
will blow your mind!

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 night time
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

1. Rich in pectin, bananas aid
digestion and gently chelate
toxins and heavy metals from the
body.

2. Bananas act as a prebiotic,
stimulating the growth of friendly
bacteria in the bowel. They also
produce digestive enzymes to
assist in absorbing nutrients.

3. Constipated? High fiber in
bananas can help normalize
bowel motility.

4. Got the runs? Bananas are
soothing to the digestive tract
and help restore lost electrolytes
after diarrhea.

5. Bananas are a natural antacid,
providing relief from acid reflux,
heartburn, and GERD.

6. 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

1. Eating bananas will help prevent
kidney cancer, protects the eyes
against macular degeneration
and builds strong bones by
increasing calcium absorption.

2. 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.

3. Bananas are high in antioxidants,
providing protection from free
radicals and chronic disease.

4. Eating a banana between meals
helps stabilize blood sugar and
reduce nausea from morning
sickness.

5. Rub a bug bite or hives with the
inside of the banana peel to
relieve itching and irritation.

6. Control blood sugar and avoid
binging between meals by eating
a banana.

7. Eating a banana can lower the
body temperature and cool you
during a fever or on a hot day

8. The natural mood-enhancer
tryptophan helps to relieve
Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD).

9. Quitting smoking? Bananas
contain high levels of B-vitamins
as well as potassium and
magnesium to speed recovery
from the effects of withdrawal.

10. Remove a wart by placing the
inside of a piece of banana peel
against the wart and taping it in
place.

11. 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.
