A professor at CCNY told his physiological psychology class about bananas.
He said that the expression "going bananas" comes from the effects of
bananas on the brain. Read on:
This is interesting.
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.
> > 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 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-chronicle 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 so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will
add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !

Dzięki za te informacje, Nancy!
Jak to się ładnie składa (chyba to nie czary, tylko zdrowa intuicja?): Wczoraj Marek rozmawiał z Emilką na temat tego slangowego zwrotu z bananami, a ja w ostatnich dniach dbam, by w naszym domu ciągle były ... banany.

Proponuję hymn dla bananowej braci:
"Bananowy jest po prostu żywot mój
krąży wokół mnie piękności śniadych rój
rzęsami w rytm muzyki mnie wachlują
i zataczają w transie krąg
Tak je ujął ten banalny wręcz, nasz bananowy song
o no, no, no, no, no nasz bananowy song"

Banany ratowaly mnie w pierwszym trymestrze ciazy. Jadlam je rano w lozku i potem moglam spokojnie wstac.
A propos bananow, slyszalam niepokojaca wiadomosc, ze plantacje bananow (chyba w USA) niszczy jakis pasozyt, a ze wszystkie sa podobne (bo genetycznie modyfikowane) wszystkie gina z powodu tego szkodnika. Ktos nawet histetyzowal, ze moga calkiem wyginac.
Jak przekonac dziecko zeby jadlo babany, skoro ich nie lubi?

To prawda, bananowce są atakowane przez grzyby. Mogą one w niedługim czasie spowodować, że banany przestaną istnieć. Naukowcy na całym świecie starają się wychodować odmianę bananowca odporną na grzyby.
A tak a propos czy wiecie, że bananowce nie mają nasion i wyrastają z kłącza.

No i tak sie rodza plotki i ksztaltuja falszywe opinie,. Gdyby, jak mowisz, te banany byly genetycznie modyfikowane, nie bylyby jednakowe. Jednakowe moga byc klony, a to zupelnie co innego. Wiec skoro atakuje je jakis szkodnik, to genetyczna modyfikacja moglaby dac im odpornosc na tego pasozyta. Pozdrawiam, Natka

Sa rozne metody - Honduras uzywaja metody naturalny - ale w Belgi uzywaja metody genetyczna modyfikacja - link na caly artykul z Popular Science gazeta online jest:

The reason bananas are so susceptible to disease has to do with their ancient origins. Almost no plant has been cultivated longer by humans. The earliest banana production began in Southeast Asia, but of the hundreds of varieties found in that region, only about 10 or 15, according to Swennen, were brought to Africa. (Bananas are a perfect crop for subsistence farming, since once a family has a healthy plant, no more seeds need to be planted-or bought; instead farmers simply replant shoots, called â€suckers,†from existing trees.) Bananas mutate easily, and of the few Asian banana varieties that originally made it to Africa, more than 200 new varieties have emerged. But these varieties remain genetically similar, so they´re prone to parallel afflictions. The situation in Latin America is even worse. â€Only a few moved from Africa to there,†Swennen says, so you´ve got even lower variability.
The geneticist has already created one sweet banana that, using genetic material from radishes, has built-in resistance to Black Sigatoka. The lab is also developing high-yield plantains for Africa and a banana manipulated to be high in beta-carotene. Swennen emphasizes that biotech is literally the only way to save the Cavendish, which, because it is 100 percent seedless,
can´t be improved on by traditional hybridization methods. And FHIA´s approach of growing a new variety from scratch, he argues, is too slow.
Traditional banana scientists, like the ones in Honduras, know that the methods they use are slower by decades than the lab-induced DNA manipulation that Swennen and his fellow researchers are working on. But they also know that resistance to genetically engineered foods runs deep among the world´s consuming public. A recent survey by Fyffes (the banana importer that is to Britain what Chiquita is to the U.S.) found that 82 percent of U.K. shoppers said they would never buy a genetically altered banana, even if proven to be safe, even if doing so allowed the elimination of pesticides and other potentially harmful agricultural chemicals-a major advantage, supporters say, of biotech crops. Public aversion to DNA-altered foods exists throughout Europe, where most such fruits and vegetables are banned. Although Chiquita wouldn´t comment for this story, company executives have repeatedly rejected biotech techniques for use in consumer products.
I can´t understand this romantic idea that nature is perfect, and that what we do is create Frankensteins, Swennen says. People scare frightened-and they´re wrong.†He believes that the threats bananas face mean that they are likely to be the bioengineered food that finally forces global shoppers to consider-and accept-science´s inevitable intervention in the agricultural process. There´s almost no choice,†he says. We need resistant bananas.

essential to wow power leveling your survival, so it's a
good thing that skill can also be improved in your Affliction tree.
Demonology – This tree wow power leveling
mostly improves your minions, improves your ability to heal them, and can also
aion power level increase the effect of your
Armor spells. You can learn to gain a buff from your minion or from sacrificing it. For spending 40
points in the Demonology tree, you earn an entirely new minion that other Warlocks
aion powerleveling will not have; the
Felguard.
The Demonologist Warlock is more able to survive while soloing; you're not as likely to draw a mob
off of your aion powerleveling
minion and get yourself killed. However, that's because you may not be able to do as much damage as
an Affliction or Destruction Warlock can. In a group, you're less likely to be the top
cheap aion power leveling damage
dealer, but you still have some useful skills to offer; your Voidwalker or Felguard may be able to
effectively hold a mob while your group is defeating a different one, or your Succubus may be
better able to Seduce wow power leveling one of your enemies,
effectively controlling it and keeping it from going after your
buy wow gold healer.
