dear all..
if you are suffering the following.. dun suffer in silence anymore.. banana to the recuse.
guys buy more bananas for ur gf as a token of luv??
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND, many felt much better aft eating a banana. It contains tryptophan, a type of protein tt the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve ur mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS:
NO MORE PILLS gals. Vitamin B6 helps to regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect ur mood.
Brain Power [esp during exam preparation]:
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..
Hangovers [clubbers / drinkers??] :
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 ur system.
Mosquito bites [this is for me] :
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.
Overweight and at work [daily need]
Studies at the Instituteof Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. So to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every 2 hrs to keep levels steady
Stress [think oso daily need]:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's H2O bal. 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.
