(191) cool bananas...
Besides providing us an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy, bananas can help overcome or prevent a number of illnesses and conditions.....
STROKE:
According to research, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
BLOOD PRESSURE:
The banana is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to reduce the risk of blood pressure.
NERVES:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
PMS:
Forget the pills - the vitamin B6 a banana contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
STRESS:
Potassium helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates our body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thus reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
DEPRESSION:
According to a survey, people suffering from depression 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.
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!!
