>
> Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people
> suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.
> This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the

> 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

> 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

> Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped

>
> 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 theInstitute 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 hours 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. InThailand
> 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

> yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or
> surgical tape!
