Administrators FlyJ Posted October 12, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 12, 2014 If you think bananas are just for monkeys, think again. Bananas are a super food that has more than a dozen benefits when consumed on a regular basis. They can be eaten in their original form or consumed in a variety of forms such as a milkshake or smoothie, used to make muffins, breads, etc. A research by hellofood.com shows that bananas are not only absolutely delicious, they also help us overcome or prevent various illnesses and conditions, including depression, PMS, anaemia, etc. Below are some amazing benefits of bananas… Energy: Bananas supply proper carbohydrates necessary to replace the muscle sugar used. Stress: Bananas are high in potassium, which is a vital mineral that helps the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain, helping to maintain regular heartbeat and proper water balance in the body. Brain power: Bananas help learning because it’s packed with potassium which helps make one more alert. People find that they perform better and have more brain power when they consume bananas regularly. Bowel health: Bananas are high in soluble fibre, which helps stop constipation and helps to restore and maintain bowel function. Depression: Bananas release a mood regulating substance known as tryptophan which is converted to serotonin in the brain. This elevates the mood and makes one happier. Tryptophan is one of the 20 common amino acids that make up all proteins that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. Cure hangover: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to have a banana milkshake. The banana builds up depleted blood sugar levels and calms the stomach, while the milk soothes and rehydrates the system. Anaemia: Bananas are rich in iron as well; they are known to help individuals with anaemia. Iron-rich foods such as bananas help stimulate production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps against anaemia. Cigarette addiction: Bananas can help people trying to give up smoking, as this super food contains B Vitamins and other minerals that lessen the effects of nicotine withdrawal both physically and psychologically.
