7 Health Benefits of Bannana


The banana is one fruit that is commonly known as an instant energy booster across the globe. It is pretty much available in the market. Whether you eat it raw or a ripe one, banana is a common feature in our breakfast menus. It has a good reason to feature as it offers you instant energy to start your day and  is said to be very good for the stomach.
Banana includes a lot of nutrients, such as 2.6 gm. dietary fiber, 0.3 gm. total fat, 12 gm. sugar, about 360 mg potassium, 1 mg salt, zero cholesterol, and 1.1 gm. protein. Following are a few reasons why you should include bananas in your daily diet.
  1. High Fiber Content
Banana consists of high fiber, both insoluble as well as soluble. The soluble fiber has the ability to slow down the digestion process, and keep you feeling full for a long period of time. This is precisely the reason why bananas need to be included in the breakfast meal so that you can start your day’s proceedings without thinking about the next meal.
  1. Healthy heart
Consuming foods with high fiber is said to have good effects on the body. According to the research done at the Leeds University (UK), it was found that people who consumed very high fiber foods such as banana were at lower risk of suffering from both coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
  1. Assists in digestion
According to leading nutritionists, banana has both sour as well as sweet taste. The sweet taste is believed to bring around a sense of heaviness, while the sour taste is said to stimulate the digestive enzymes.  This, in turn, helps in the digestion process and assists in building up the metabolism.
  1. Keep blood pressure in check
It is proven fact that salt is the bad element when it comes to the high blood pressure. A banana consists of high potassium and low salt content. All these properties can help to maintain the salt level in the body, thus keeping the blood pressure in check.
  1. Fight Anemia
As bananas contain a huge level of iron, consuming them can cure people suffering from anemia. Anemia is a medical condition where there is a decline in the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin present in the body. This can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue and paleness.
  1. Powerhouse of nutrients
Banana contains a huge amount of nutrients. It is a heavyweight, loaded with essential minerals and vitamins such as manganese, calcium, iron, niacin, potassium, riboflavin, folate, and B6. These all nutrients help in the proper functioning of your body and keep you strong. 
7.Weight Loss
Though it has not proven clinically, but, bananas have certain nutrients that can make you lose weight. It is a weight loss friendly food as it contains lower levels of calories. Eating a banana will add just over 100 calories into your body. Yet it is filling and nutritious. With rich, in fiber, researchers have been repeatedly linking the possibility of eating vegetables and fruits rich with fiber as a significant mechanism to lose weight and reduce lower body muscles.

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...

Questions Are The Answer.............

They needed no reason. They came simply because he was of  Jewish descent. The Nazis stormed into his home, arresting him and his entire family. Soon they were herded like cattle, packed into a train, and then sent to a death camp n Krakow. His most disturbing nightmares could never have prepared him for seeing his family shot before his very eyes. How could he live through the horror of seeing his child's clothing on another because his son was now dead as the result of a "shower"? Somehow he continued. One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted an inescapable truth: if he stayed there even one more day, he would surely die. He made a decision that he must escape and that escape must happen immediately! He knew not how, he simply knew he must. For weeks he'd asked the other prisoners, "How can we escape this horrible place?" The answers he received seemed always to be the same. "Don't be a fool," they said, "the...

"This, too, shall pass,"

Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania did an intensive research on what creates learned helplessness. In his book Learned Optimism he reports on three specific patterns of beliefs that cause us to feel helpless and can destroy virtually every aspect of our lives. He calls these three categories permanence, pervasiveness, and personal. Many of our country's greatest achievers have succeeded in spite of running into huge problems and barriers. The difference between them and those who give up revolves around their beliefs about the permanence, or lack thereof, of their problems.  Achievers rarely, if ever, see a  problem as permanent, while those who fail, see even the smallest problems as permanent. Once you adopt the belief that there's nothing you can do to change something, simply because nothing you've  done up until now has changed it, you start to take a pernicious poison into your system. No matter what happens in your life, you've got ...
