●푸르스름한 바나나는 변비 해소
일본 신슈 대학의 호소노 아키요시 교수에 의하면, 미숙한 상태의 바나나는, 난소화성 전분이

풍부해, 소화 효소에 분해 되기 어렵기 때문에, 소장에서는 흡수되지 않고 대장에서는

유산균등의 먹이가 된다고 합니다.
요구르트나 벌꿀등 함께 먹으면 변비, 대장의 개선 효과도 있다고 합니다.

●익은 바나나는 혈류의 개선에
일 본 식품 종합 연구소에 의하면, 바나나를 먹기 전과 후는, 혈류가 다르다고 합니다.

나트륨이 과잉이 되면, 혈류는 나빠집니다만, 익은 바나나는 칼륨·마그네슘이 풍부하고,

여분의 나트륨을 배출해서, 혈액 개선이 있다고 말할 수 있습니다.

●설탕 스포트가 많은 바나나는 면역력을 높힌다.
암 의 연구에 선발적인 미국에서는 영 양 보강 식품 (암의 예방 효과가 높은 식품)의 속에,

바나나는 들어가 있지 않지만. 바나나가 면역력을 높여, 악성 종양, 암 세포를 억제한다고 하는

연구가 일본 테이쿄 대학 약학부 약학 박사 야마자키 마사토시 교수의 보고 입니다.
야마자키 교수의 실험의 결과, 선명한 황색을 하고 있는 숙성 4 일째에는, 면역 효과가 일단

감소합니다만 검은 반점이 증가한 10 일째에, 그 효과는 피크로. 흑의 반점이 약간 생기면

면역 증강 효과의 차이는, 무려 8 배나 됩니다!
바나나에 어떤 효과를 기대하는지에 따라서, 숙성도로 판별하는 것이 포인트,

바나나란, 건강과 깊은 음식에 있어 바나나를 통한 질병예방도 가능해질 것이다.

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas.

He said the expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain.

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain 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 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 perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so,

the US Food and Drug Administrationjust 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 (England) 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

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 pressure 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 & Tobacco Use: 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!
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 and say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
