Posted by Dr. Judy at 3:00 am
It’s Monday….are you in a daze? Eat a banana and feel better while you are deciding which values to use. A double whammy of wondrous ways to wear your well-being!
Banana Trivia:
- 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.
Try A Banana For Your:
Mondaze Blues: Smile! 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.
Mondaze Sluggishness: Power-up! High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood.
Mondaze Pressure: Bananas are extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to lower 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.
Mondaze Brain Drain: Try eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch to boost your brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit increases your alertness.
Mondaze Hangovers: Overindulged this weekend? Whip up a banana and honey milkshake. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels. Re-hydrate your system.
Mondaze Heartburn: If you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body.
Mondaze Nerves: Serenity now! Bananas are high in B vitamins and that helps calm your nervous system.
Mondaze Stress: Deadlines! Your metabolic rate is up, your potassium levels are dropping. Re-balance yourself with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

“A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”
