The Benefits of Bananas.

You may have already picked up on my slightly unhealthy love of all things Banana, But I thought I'd just give you the lowdown on why they're such rockstars. Not only are they great "on the go" foods, tasty as hell, packed with nutrients.

1. THEY LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
It has been proven that by simply eating two bananas a day it can lower your blood pressure, so if you don't fancy taking more tablets, get your tooshie down to your local supermarket for a super banana.

2. CANCER PREVENTION.
A study carried out in the University of Tokyo discovered that there is a chemical present in ripened Banana's that can help to prevent various forms of Cancer. The longer you leave the Banana the maker, so if it'd almost black just stick it in a smoothie and slurp!

3. THEY'RE SO DARN TASTY.
They are a great alternative to a processed, sugar filled snack. Yes, Banana have a fair amount of calories but it's all natural sugar.

4.TIME TO CHILL.
It has been proven that a calm, de-stressed person can digest their food better and therefore be healthier. Well yet again the Banana can help.
These little yellow ninjas contain Tryptophan , which when digested converts into Serotonin. Serotonin aids relaxation.

5. AIDS TUMMY TROUBLE.
Remarkably easy to digest, and rammed with electrolytes they can help with allsorts of yucky things, nausea, vomiting, the lot.

6. THE VITAMIN B6 (VEGAN FRIENDLY)
It is suggested that the average women should receive 1.3 milligrams of this vitamin a day for healthy nerve tissue. This vitamin is pretend mainly in animal proteins, but never fear BANANA is here. He's got it too ;)

7. GET A 'NANA IN YA PRE-WORKOUT.
Bananas contain Potassium, which helps to prevent muscle cramps. But they also have the slow and long burning carbs in them. So I would suggest one of my Gluten Free Banana Pancakes for breakie before a run. 


So lets all promise to Go Bananas, for Bananas! ;)
