> Bananas Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose

> 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 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
> 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 way 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.
>
> Brain Power:
> 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 chips. 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. 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

> 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

> So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare
