Sunday, December 30, 2007 Thursday, December 27, 2007 Medical Uses For Bananas 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. Overweight: 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-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 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 !! 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. Overweight: 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-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 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 !!

Posted by rc at 6:36 PM No comments: Thursday, December 13, 2007 Life's SideNotes An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window. The Father asked his Son, "What is this?" The Son replied "It is a crow". The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, What is this?" At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow". A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?" This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?" A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :- "Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child". While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed. If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this aloud: "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today". The Father asked his Son, "What is this?" The Son replied "It is a crow". After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?" The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

Healthy living For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now! You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Why? Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6: 00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m. What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours? We may have an Answer. Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency. Eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St. Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. If you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.

Coconuts are a prehistoric plant which can survive many months floating at sea. The coconut is a natural water filter that takes almost 9 months to filter each liter of water. The water travels through many fibers being purified where it is stored away STERILE in the nut itself. This coconut water is pure clear and is one of the highest sources of electrolytes known to man. Coconut water is identical to human blood plasma which makes it the universal donor. Plasma makes up 55% of human blood. By drinking coconuts we give ourselves a instant blood transfusion. Many peoples lives have been saved in 3rd world countries by the coconut. Coconuts in their young stage of growth are the most health enhancing. Drink at least one a day (I drink 5 or 6). Coconuts are a great blood purifier. Other comments on Young Coconuts: "It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak." In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma trasfusions to wounded soldiers. Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

Place the beads in a tray and spray with water and they will magically stick together. "Date-Rape Drug in Bead Toy": THE Australian toy of the year, Bindeez, has been withdrawn after a warning that the date-rape drug GHB may have been "deliberately" put into the product. Two children - 10 and two - were admitted to The Children's Hospital, Westmead this month and another was treated in Queensland after swallowing the Bindeez beads. Tests have revealed the tiny beads contain the chemical 1,4-Butanediol, which when ingested turns into liquid fantasy, also known as GHB. An investigation has been launched into how the dangerous chemical, an adhesive, ended up in the toy but some experts believe it was deliberately swapped for one of the listed ingredients. Bindeez are made in Hong Kong and imported through Melbourne company Moose Enterprises. The bead crafting kits won the title of Most Popular Toy in March. The company, which was unavailable for comment, has been forced to withdraw the toy and faces millions of dollars in losses. The beads contain a non-toxic glue which, when sprayed with water, stick together to form shapes. Authorities became concerned when Charlotte Lehane, 10, was the second child in a week needing hospitalisation after swallowing the beads. Her mother Heather Lehane, of Castle Hill, said that within an hour of her daughter eating the coloured balls, she became unconscious. "It was terrifying. I couldn't wake her and then she just started vomiting this thick glue-like substance and all these Bindeez," Mrs Lehane said. "She had wanted them for her birthday ... they are very popular." Fair Trading Minister Linda Burney ordered the immediate removal of the toy from shops. University of NSW toxicologist Chris Wynder said the chemical was most likely put into the toy. "There's a possibility there's been some malice," Professor Wynder said. "Maybe the glue they use was too expensive, or wasn't available." "Big Recall of China Bead Toys After 'Date Rape' Drug Found ": DEADLY: The chemical coating can induce seizures or coma if ingested. WASHINGTON - THERE has been another massive global recall of Chinese-made toys, just weeks from the busy Christmas shopping season. Millions of the 'bead-based' toys have been pulled from shelves in North America, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore after scientists found they contained a chemical that converts into a powerful 'date rape' drug when ingested. Two children in the United States and three in Australia were hospitalised after swallowing the beads. The toys are called Bindeez in Australia, where they were named toy of the year at an industry function this year. In the United States, the toy goes by the name Aqua Dots, a highly popular holiday toy distributed by Toronto-based Spin Master Toys. Both are sold by Australia-based Moose Enterprises. Moose Enterprises said Bindeez and Aqua Dots are made at the same factorylocated in Shenzhen in China's southern Guangdong province. The company said the product is distributed in 40 countries but that it was up to the individual countries and distributors to determine if the product would be pulled. The toy beads are sold for use in arts and crafts projects. They can be arranged into designs and fused together when sprayed with water. Scientists say a chemical coating on the beads, when ingested, becomes the so-called 'date rape' drug gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB). When eaten, the compound can induce unconsciousness, seizures, drowsiness, coma and cause death. Dr Naren Gunja from Australia's Poisons Information Centre said the drug's effect on children was 'quite serious and potentially life-threatening'. The recall was announced by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, several hours after reports were published in the US about the recall in Australia. The news jolted the toy industry because Aqua Dots has been one of the few bright stars of the toy-selling season which, along with overall retailing, got off to a sluggish start in the US Christmas season. Toy sellers are cancelling advertising and scrambling to figure out how to replace the product. Place the beads in a tray and spray with water and they will magically stick together. "Date-Rape Drug in Bead Toy": THE Australian toy of the year, Bindeez, has been withdrawn after a warning that the date-rape drug GHB may have been "deliberately" put into the product. Two children - 10 and two - were admitted to The Children's Hospital, Westmead this month and another was treated in Queensland after swallowing the Bindeez beads. Tests have revealed the tiny beads contain the chemical 1,4-Butanediol, which when ingested turns into liquid fantasy, also known as GHB. An investigation has been launched into how the dangerous chemical, an adhesive, ended up in the toy but some experts believe it was deliberately swapped for one of the listed ingredients. Bindeez are made in Hong Kong and imported through Melbourne company Moose Enterprises. The bead crafting kits won the title of Most Popular Toy in March. The company, which was unavailable for comment, has been forced to withdraw the toy and faces millions of dollars in losses. The beads contain a non-toxic glue which, when sprayed with water, stick together to form shapes. Authorities became concerned when Charlotte Lehane, 10, was the second child in a week needing hospitalisation after swallowing the beads. Her mother Heather Lehane, of Castle Hill, said that within an hour of her daughter eating the coloured balls, she became unconscious. "It was terrifying. I couldn't wake her and then she just started vomiting this thick glue-like substance and all these Bindeez," Mrs Lehane said. "She had wanted them for her birthday ... they are very popular." Fair Trading Minister Linda Burney ordered the immediate removal of the toy from shops. University of NSW toxicologist Chris Wynder said the chemical was most likely put into the toy. "There's a possibility there's been some malice," Professor Wynder said. "Maybe the glue they use was too expensive, or wasn't available." "Big Recall of China Bead Toys After 'Date Rape' Drug Found ": DEADLY: The chemical coating can induce seizures or coma if ingested. WASHINGTON - THERE has been another massive global recall of Chinese-made toys, just weeks from the busy Christmas shopping season. Millions of the 'bead-based' toys have been pulled from shelves in North America, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore after scientists found they contained a chemical that converts into a powerful 'date rape' drug when ingested. Two children in the United States and three in Australia were hospitalised after swallowing the beads.

The extraordinary eight-limbed baby was born in a tiny village in Arhariya in the central Indian state of Bihar - said to be on the day devoted to the celebration of the four-armed Hindu deity Vishnu. The toddler born with eight limbs and believed by some to be the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Hindu goddess Vishnu, undergo a 40-hour operation to remove half of her limbs.

"Her skeletal system involves two bodies which are fused together at the level of the pelvis. The operation itself, although presents several challenges, is not the most complex in the world. What is highly unusual in Lakshmi's case is precisely how her bodies are fused, almost mirroring each other." Parents Poonam Devi and Shambu Das, who earn about 50p a day as casual labourers, were turned away from several hospitals before her plight was taken up by Dr Patil. Poonam, who gave birth to Lakshmi on the celebration day of the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity after whom the new born was named, said: "She is a miracle, a special blessing from God."

Technique is to fly crabbed down to flare height then "kick" (gently) the rudder to align the nose. Some crab at touchdown is acceptable and will be cancelled as the main gear also align the bird with the runway. Sounds easy dosn't it? Notice the flight control laws only allow the lower rudder until the aircraft is on the ground, then both upper and lower rudders are controlled by the autopilot during AutoLand operations or by the rudder pedals. This logic helps prevent unwanted roll from the upper rudder due to its placement being so far away from the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

The head is reportedly in the possession of a museum in the western city of Rouen, the mayor of which has decided to return the artifact to New Zealand. The head was given by a French collector to the museum in 1875. The mummified tattoted head has been part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Natural History at Rouen in Normandy. When Rouen's mayor arranged recently to return it to New Zealand as an act of "atonement" for colonial-era trafficking in human remains, the French court did not allow the return after the government argued it was a part of French heritage. The Maori Party in New Zealand is also seeking action to recover the mummified Maori head. The Maoris traditionaly preserved the tattooed heads of warriors killed in battle to keep their memory alive. During the 19th century, the preserved heads of warriors with facial tattoos were popular with European collectors, as contact with the outsiders increased. The trade was later outlawed. The municipal council of the French city of Rouen said it was hopeful that the preserved Maori head can be returned soon to New Zealand, despite a legal ruling blocking the move.

As batteries become ever more powerful, the amount of energy stored in smaller and smaller spaces keeps increasing. So does their ability to liberate all that energy in short order. A typical laptop pack can hold around 60Wh, which doesn't sound very much. Deliver that power in 30 seconds, though, and you're looking at 7kW. When a lithium ion battery goes off, it can do so with a vengeance. A short circuit within a cell can see the temperature soar to 600°C in seconds, with hot, caustic material pouring from the end like a Roman candle. Battery cells are designed with multiple safety features, none can withstand such high temperatures, so if one cell goes, the rest in the pack follow in a chain reaction. A laptop pack can have six or even nine cells, which can make for quite a firework display. Figures from the US mobile phone industry alone suggest around one catastrophic battery failure per year for every quarter of a million users. These can be due to power-supply malfunction, counterfeit battery modules, physical damage to the battery pack or plain old component failure — all of which are less likely in higher-quality, better-controlled laptop designs.

Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai 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 among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai 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(premenstrual syndrome): Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anaemia: High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia. 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 petai 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 petai 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 petai 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 petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai 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: Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief. Morning Sickness : Snacking on petai 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 the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight: Studies at the :office:smarttags" /> 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: Petai 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 petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In hoiland, for example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) : Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Petai 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 petai snack. Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, " eating petai 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 petai and place it on the wart. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, 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 Petai a day keeps the doctor away".

Banana nam brzo podiže energiju, a istraživanja su pokazala da samo dvije banane dnevno osiguravaju dovoljno energije za naporan 90-minutni trening. Depresija Prema nedavnom istraživanju, ljudi koji pate od depresije, osjećali su se puno bolje nakon konzumiranja banane. To je zato što banana sadrži triptofan, vrstu proteina koju tijelo pretvara u serotonin. Tako vas banana opušta, poboljšava raspoloženje i čini vas općenito sretnijima.

Čir Banana se koristi kao dijetalna hrana protiv crijevnih poremećaja zbog svojih mekih tekstura i glatkoće. To je jedino sirovo voće koje se može jesti bez opasnosti pogoršanja. Također neutralizira pretjeranu kiselosti i smanjuje nadraženost prevlačenjem sluznice želuca. Kontrola temperature Mnoge kulture koriste bananu kao voće koje može sniziti fizičku i emocionalnu temperaturu trudnice. Sezonski afektivni poremećaj Banane mogu pomoći ljudima koji pate od sezonskog afektivnog poremećaja jer sadrže prirodni triptofan koji podiže raspoloženje. Pušenje Banane također mogu pomoći ljudima koji pokušavaju prestati pušiti. Sadrži vitamine B6 i B12, a kalij i magnezij pronađeni u njima, pomažu tijelu da se oporavi od učinka nikotina. Stres Kalij je vitalni mineral koji pomaže u normaliziranju otkucaja srca, šalje kisik u mozak i regulira ravnotežu vode u tijelu. Kada smo pod stresom, naš metabolizam raste i smanjuje razine kalija. Stoga je dobro pojesti bananu kada ste pod stresom. Moždani udar Prema istraživanjima u časopisu “New England Journal of Medicine”, jedenje banane kao dio redovite prehrane može smanjiti rizik od smrti od moždanog udara za čak 40%! Bradavice Ako želite uništiti bradavice, uzmite komad banane i stavite ga na bradavice, sa žutom stranom prema van. Dakle, banana je zaista prirodni lijek za mnoge bolesti. Kad ju usporedimo s jabukom, ima četiri puta više bjelančevina, dva puta više ugljikohidrata, tri puta više fosfora, pet puta više vitamina A i željeza i dvostruko više ostalih minerala i vitamina. Također je bogata kalijem. Možda bi mogli promijeniti poznatu poslovicu u: “banana na dan, doktor iz kuće van”!
