The whole truth about bananas

Bananas will not save you from drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. But something they still can.

What do we know about bananas? Before reading this material, I knew about bananas only that - it's a great source of quick energy for our body. But you'd be surprised how many hide themselves in these fruits. Bananas contain three types of sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose. As I have said, they give almost immediate influx of energy due to a sharp release of insulin. However, this is not their only advantage. Bananas may also serve as prophylaxis against certain diseases.

However, many publications on the internet too good to say about bananas, attributing to them properties such as prevention of depression, fatigue, stress and other diseases. Although, in our opinion, even comparing bananas and biscuitsIt is difficult to choose a favorite, so we decided to find out what's what.

Depression

According to research conducted by research institute MINDMany patients feel a little better after eating a banana. This is due to the fact that bananas contain large amounts of tryptophan, one of the types of proteins that organism transforms into serotonin. Serotonin - a hormone that is responsible for peace, relaxation and your mood.

False

Tryptophan - an amino acid that is found in all proteins. The level of tryptophan in bananas is very small and say that it can affect your mood - is meaningless. Even the fact that the bright coloring of bananas makes you happier, more likely than that.

Anemia

Bananas contain a large amount of iron, which stimulates the production of hemoglobin in the blood and prevents anemia.

False

Large banana contains less than 2% of the daily women's iron rule. This iron does not affect the theoretical prevention of anemia.

Blood pressure

Bananas contain large amounts of potassium, which has a positive effect on blood pressure and reduces the risk of high blood pressure and heart beat.

true

One large banana contains about 500 mg of potassium, which is slightly more than 10% of the daily value of this substance.

mental Activity

During the examination of 200 British school pupils Tvikenem ate bananas several times a day. Studies have shown that, due to the high content of potassium, this fruit enhances attention and improves brain function.

true

It seems to be true. However, there are many products containing larger amounts of potassium.

constipation

Due to the high fiber content of bananas restore normal bowel function, helping to overcome constipation without resorting to laxatives.

False

Bananas contain 2.6 grams of fat per 100 grams. This is equivalent to products such as apples, cabbage, oranges and many others. Most fiber found in beans - 9.5 g, peas - 8 grams and beans - 7.5 g

Hangover

One of the best ways to deal with a hangover - it is a banana milkshake with honey. Bananas reduce the headache and honey aligns the level of blood sugar. While the milk soothes the body and restores the fluid level.

It is unclear on what basis these conclusions are made, so we need volunteers willing to check it out for yourself :)

Heartburn

Bananas have antacid effect that calms your digestive system.

true

Bananas really are a natural antacid. However, since you decided to treat heartburn with food, it is best to pay attention to milk and meat, as they have a more pronounced effect of antacid.

Nausea during pregnancy

Several bananas help to align the level of sugar in the blood, thereby relieving nausea.

true

Bananas can actually raise blood sugar, but do not wait for a miracle, because it is just one of the many snack options, nothing more.

mosquito bites

Before you apply to the bite of a cream, try to lubricate the inner part of the banana peel. This will soothe the skin and relieve itching from bites.

true

I could not find rebuttals to this process, but now there is no mosquitoes around to ensure its validity. Leave until the summer!

nerve disease

The high content of vitamin B helps to calm the nervous system.

False

Bananas contain a small amount of vitamins B6 and B12, and talk about their impact is not necessary on the nervous system. Unless you do not want to eat a couple of kilos. Then, with your nerves, is definitely something wrong.

ulcers

Bananas are used as the dietary food in case of intestinal disorders because of its soft consistency. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without any irritation of the mucous system. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

true

Bananas contain substances that kill bacteria that cause stomach ulcers, as well as contribute to the mucus that coats the lining of the stomach. Also do not forget about its antacid properties, which has a positive effect in the fight against the scourge.

Output

I hope you understand that bananas - this is just one component of a healthy diet. Many of its properties are overpriced, and the amount of nutrients is exaggerated. None of the products will not give you all the useful micro and macro elements, only a variety of healthy foods will help in this. A selection of food we eat!
