Ginger is a great herbal root which if well prepared you will enjoy the full benefits as listed by the OP. This is how to bring the best out of this wonderful root from nature:

I Peel about two medium size ginger, ginger and turmeric. Wash them and pound with any kind of mortar scoop into a pot and add water and bring to boil. Let it cool off and u sieve into your cup and add either sugar or natural honey. For a better result I use natural honey but in absence of honey u can add a little sugar. usually I take this at night before I go to sleep so that I brush off in morning before going out so to avoid people perceiving the smell of ginger which turns people off. One significant discovery is that you will hardly fall sick and always have your bowels free and your system detox. Try this and thank me later.

No one's above the law

staymore:
Next time tell me a rotten fish is better than a fresh life fish.

I simply don't believe your research

Bro, google is there for you. It's not my research, rather scientists made the research

kennysteve77:
I hope this is not a plot to sell bananas that are meant to be used for biogas or as manure

plot? do i sell banana?..just told what you have to know,you can still buy the fresh ones.

glossy6:
It means buying the slightly over riped ones or buying the fresh ones if they are the only available ones and then leaving them uneaten for another day or two.

yeah, good method?

I decided to bring up this topic today because i know many people don't know this and keep making this mistake. I know normally when you want to buy bananas you will keep checking till you get the freshest one amongst others. No one will like to take those ones with dark patches and colouration. But hey, based on the nutritional values, research has proved it that that banana with black patches all over it's body is far more healthier than the the normal fresh one.

NOW SEE WHY.

according to the latest japanese research, a full ripe banana with dark patches on they yellow skin produces a substance called TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR (TNF) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells.

The more darker patches it has the higher it's immunity enhancement quality. Hence the riper the banana the Better the anti-cancer quality. A yellow skin banana with dark spots on it is 8x more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than a green skin type.
So after reading this, no more freshness when choosing a banana but how much dark spots/patches it has on it's body.
