On B2B Business Bananas

By Chip Tarver

My Dad just sent me this.  It has absolutely nothing to do with

B2B or business, but it’s still worth reading.

Here it is:

"Bananas" 

After reading this - you'll NEVER look at a banana in the

same way again!! (GOOD NEWS)

Bananas...Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose

and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant,

sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven

that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous

90-minute workout.

No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's

leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can

help us keep fit.

It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of

illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily

diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND

among people suffering from depression, many 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.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains

regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of

hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in

potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood

pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration

has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for

the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Learning: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school

were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas

at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power.

Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist

learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can

help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem

without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to

make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana

calms the stomach and with the help of the honey, builds up

depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates

your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body,

so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing

relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to

keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream,

try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin.

Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling

and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the

nervous System.  Overweight and at work? Studies at the

Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads

to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps.  Looking at

5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were

more likely to be in high-pressure jobs.  The report concluded,

that to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our

blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every

two ours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal

disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only

raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.

It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the

lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a

"cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional

temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example,

pregnant women eat  bananas to ensure their baby is born with

a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD

sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer,

tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking.

The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium

found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine

withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the

heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's

water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises,

thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced

with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of

Medicine," Eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the

risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you

want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place

it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin

in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

Rose Bushes: Blend one skin (soft Part) with blender full of

water and pour on base of Rose Bush. Promotes healthy roots

and new growth.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills! When you

compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the
carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin

A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.

It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods

around. So maybe its time to change that well known phrase

so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away."

Check it out for yourself and see if these remedies work.
