A Banana a Day
Ever wondered why Bananas are the number one fruit with top athletes? Well, even if you hadn't you may never look at a banana in the same way again after reading this :
- It offers a quick fix for flagging energy levels; contains 3 natural sugars- sucrose, fructose & glucose - which combined
with fiber gives and instant, sustained boost of energy.
- Research shows that just 2 bananas give enough energy for a 90 minute workout!
- 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.
- Bananas are high in Iron which can help in cases of anemia.
- They are High in Potassium but low in Salt so making them perfect for beating blood pressure; the USA Food and
Drug Administration has just allowed the Banana industry to claim for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of high blood
pressure or a stroke.
- The potassium the bananas contain boost brain power.
- As they are high in fiber, including them in your diet can help restore normal bowel movement.
- Want a quick hangover cure ? Make a Banana milk Shake sweetened with Honey. It will calm the Stomach and, with
the help of the honey, build up depleted blood sugar levels, whilst the milk will soothe and re-hydrate the system.
- Instead of reaching for chocolates or crisps when in need of a sugar boost or comfort food, eat a banana instead.
- When compared with an apple, the banana has four times the protein, twice the carbs, three times the phosphorous,
five times the Vitamin A and Iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.
