Here am going to share a bit of info.. maybe every one know this already....
Love you all
Bindi.
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 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.

Happy Valentine's day to you too. Forrest is feeling much better, but Nathan is still not quite himself. Thanks for the info about the banana. I guess I'll have to eat more bananans now. Eventhough, I hate them!
Have a wonderful weekend, and yes today was beautiful. We were able to play outside this evening too. I so enjoyed it.
hi bindi, glad to see you back :)
Oh my sweet Bindi.... thank you for this delicious award...! I will talk about it on my blog very soon.... and what an informative post on the benefits of bananas! Wow.... in my country we fry the big bananas, called "platanos", and they're my favorite; they are sweet and so delicious...yum!
You have a lovely angel....she is as cute as a little fairy...
May God bless you and yours...

Hi Bindi!
Thank you for your sweet award.
I'm so happy, best gift for Valentins'd Day!
And thank you for this inform about bananas. I like bananas, really bananas are very beneficial.
Almost every day I eat 3-4 bananas.
Sometimes more. And they are not expensive.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and to your family!
Love and hugsss!
Yes, bananas are awesome! I think the new saying should actually be "a banana a day keeps the doctor away" not an apple. Makes more sense.
Congrats on your award, and thanks for sharing!
Happy Valentine's Day!

G'day Bindi,
I hope that you and your family had a lovely St. Valentine's Day. The information on the bananas was most interesting. I didn't know about the heartburn and mosquito bite remedy. If you put banans in the refrigerator the skin turns black. Bannanas are grown here in Queensland and northern New South Wales.

My first Blogger award! Thank you so very much for thinking of me. It is very nice to be included in such a wonderful post, and on Valentine's day no less.
And because of your banana information, I have taken one to work today. Usually at about 3:00pm each day, I need a little energy boost.
Take care,
Brian
Dearest Bindi,
I hope you had a good Valentine's day.
Thankyou so much for the award - like others, it's my first. You've made me smile - thankyou. :-)
May whoever is upstairs watching us rain down on you with love and devotion.

Well...all my friends are here and I'm barely here! Honey, I'm so sick! Help me.
First, loved all the banana facts. Ate a gazillion bananas a day until an allergy test indicated I was "highly" allergic about a decade ago. Have slowed down, but hope to speed back up soon. Rob has had a banana/strawberry/orange juice smoothie every day since our days at Berkeley back in the early 80's. He looks healthy and beautiful and the only thing that's killing him is me! Apparently.
Honey, Happy Valentine's Day. I'm sorry I'm late, but I was so sick yesterday, honestly, I didn't even realize it was Valentine's Day. It's been a hard week or so. I'm so worn out I didn't even realize it was February until Rob mentioned it today! Wow...almost half the year is gone! My how time flies.
I love you, you know. Thank you for all your kind comments on my blog and for your personal messages on my email. You make my day every day Bindi. I adore you. Be gentle and kind to yourself and know that life will be beautiful sooner than you think! I love you sweetie-pie.
Much love,
Suze xo

Dear Suzanne,

"Health is wealth"...please see a doctor...i know i don't like to see a doctor or take any medicine other than ayurveda medicine...but when i get sick, i will think about my baby and my parents, i have to live for them...if am not here who is there for my baby and my parents..
