We all know bananas are natural treats full of potassium and vitamins, but did you know that they can be used to treat common health problems? If you didn't, by the time you have finished reading this article, you will come to realize just how much of a superfruit a banana really is.
1. Energy to the body
Bananas contain three different types of sugars: glucose, fructose, and sucrose, combined with a highly respectable amount of fiber. Because of this, bananas are an excellent source of energy for the body. Studies have found that two bananas give us enough energy for 90 minutes of physical training, so it's no wonder that the best athletes in the world eat bananas regularly.
2. Overcoming depression
A recent study among patients with clinical depression found that many subjects reported an improvement in mood after eating bananas. The reason for this lies in a component called tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the body can not produce by itself, and through it, hormones such as melatonin, neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and other substances that contribute to body relaxation are produced. Tryptophan also reduces anxiety and depression, helps to prevent migraines, reduces the risk of developing symptoms of cardiovascular spasms, and, like the amino acid lysine, helps reduce cholesterol levels.
3. Relief of menstrual symptoms
Not only are bananas rich in tryptophan, but they also contain vitamin B6, which helps the body maintain balanced glucose levels in the blood. The effects of these two components contribute to calming the body and brain, improving moods, and relieving menstrual pain.
4. Power to the brain
The potassium and sugars in bananas have a positive and surprising effect on our brain's ability to remain concentrated and focused over time. Numerous experiments have been conducted over the years, where it was found that groups of students who ate a banana every morning were much more successful in their studies than those who did not.
5. An essential supplement for anemia sufferers
Bananas are rich in iron and can greatly contribute to the production of hemoglobin in the body, an essential part of the blood composition that carries oxygen around the body. Therefore, those who suffer from anemia, a low hemoglobin content in the blood, should eat bananas as often as possible.
6. Balance blood pressure
Bananas contain a rare combination of high amounts of potassium and almost no salt and are therefore perfect for treating high blood pressure. The ability of bananas in treating blood pressure problems is so great that the US Food and Drug Administration has allowed exporters of foods containing high amounts of potassium to advertise them as being able to help prevent stroke and high blood pressure.
7. Calming heartburn
Heartburn usually comes about due to eating too many fatty foods and drinking carbonated beverages. Eating bananas balances the acidity of the stomach, which will ease heartburn and, in some cases, even eliminate it completely.
8. Treats constipation
You may also sometimes suffer from this unpleasant problem, but the nutritional fibers in the banana will help you overcome it easily and quickly. A banana for breakfast every day will contribute to normal bowel movements without the need to take chemical laxatives.
9. Treats morning sickness
This is usually caused by a change in hormone levels in the body and low blood sugar levels. Eating bananas can help both of these problems, and generally, all of the nutrients it contains are beneficial to pregnant women.
10. Ointment for mosquito bites
Before applying synthetic lotions, squash some pieces of banana and apply it to the sting. Many people have discovered that doing this soothes the feeling of itching and reduces swelling.
11. A perfect diet snack
Many people who are overweight find that stress and tension make them crave sweet snacks and forbidden temptations. Bananas are an excellent substitute for chocolate and the sweet snacks we all like to indulge in, and it also gives us the energy we need to get past the hard hours after lunch.
12. Wart treatment
You can treat warts with only a banana peel and a band-aid or a small piece of tape. Attach the peel to the wart area, with the outer part of the peel facing outward and the inside placed on the wart, lightly tighten the bandage and leave it for a day.
13. A vital aid for quitting smoking
If you are trying to quit smoking, there is no food that can help you more than the banana. B vitamins, magnesium and potassium help your body cope better with nicotine withdrawal symptoms and reduce your need for another cigarette.
14. Coping with stress
Our bodies use potassium to regulate heartbeats, send oxygen to the brain cells, and balance fluid levels in the body. These are all vital processes that help the body cope with stress. When your body does not have enough potassium in the bloodstream and you are under stress, your heart starts beating quickly, your brain has trouble making quick decisions, and your hands shake a little. Eating a banana will make sure none of that affects you.
Joke-The Gallant Husband
유모어- 용감한 남편
A burglar breaks into a home and holds the husband and wife hostage. At gunpoint, he forces the two to sit on chairs and ties them to the chairs. The burglar slowly and methodically begins robbing the house.
강도가 한 집에 몰래 들어와 남편과 아내를 인질로 붙잡았다. 총을 겨누고 그는 두 사람을 의자에 앉히고 묶었다.
그 도둑은 천천히 그리고 샅샅히 집을 털기 시작했다.
The burglar has taken everything of value, and is ready to leave while the homeowners are still bound to their chairs.
Suddenly, the man yells at the burglar, "Please untie her, please, let her go!"
도둑은 갑진것은 모두 챙기고 집주인들이 의자에 묵어둔채 떠날 준비를 했다. 그런데 갑자기 남편이 강도에게 소리쳤다, "제발 여자는 풀어줘요, 그리고 제발 보내줘요.
"No, I'm not untying either of you so that the authorities get notified as late as possible." says the criminal. "Don't worry, your neighbors will soon wonder why your lights are still on throughout the night and check in with you."
"안돼, 경찰이 최대한 늦게 신고를 받게하려면 당신들을 풀어줄수는 없어." 도둑이 말했다. "염려말아요, 이웃들이 밤새 불이 켜져있는걸 보면 당신들을 보러 올거야."
Yet the man again pleads, "Please, just untie her, I'll do anything!"
그러나 남편은 다시 간청했다, "제발요, 그녀를 풀어준다면 뭐든지 할게요."
"Look, I need to get away with this crime, I'm sorry, I can't leave anything up to chance." says the burglar, feeling a little ashamed of himself.
"봐요, 나는 여기서 도망쳐야 되요, 미안하지만 나는 모든걸 운에 맞길수는 없어." 도둑은 말하면서 자신이 좀 부끄러운 느낌이 들었다.
"I'm begging you man, just let her go, she won't call the cops, I promise!" the man is now crying.
"이봐요, 이렇게 빌게요, 그녀만은 보내줘요, 경찰에게 신고는 안할거요, 내 장담 하리다" 남편은 울면서 말했다.
The burglar, still unwilling to budge, does find it quite touching how much his hostage cared about his wife.
"Wow," he says "You must really love your wife to beg me to untie her so desperately."
강도는 여전히 마음을 바꾸고 싶지는 않지만 남편이 아내를 얼마나 생각하는지에 꽤 감동을 받았다.
"오 정말, 당신은 정말로 아내를 사랑하는구먼", 도둑은 말했다. "그렇게 그녀를 풀어 달라고 필사적으로 매달리는걸보니 말이요."
"Not really," The man replies in a state of frenzy, "it's just that she will be home in 15 minutes."
"꼭 그런건 아니요," 남자는 미친듯이 대답했다, "사실은 아내가 집에 돌아오려면 에 15분밖에 안남았기 때문이오"
