Bananas – Jungle Food 4 U
December 30th, 2009 § 1 Comment
Monkey see, monkey do. Picture a bunch of monkeys hanging out in the hungle. swinging from trees, scratching themselves, and generally doing nothing. If you think I’m talking about you, you should make some changes. Regardless of that, at some point, we humans were impressed with the athletic abilities of these jungle gymnasts and decided to borrow their favorite food. And we’ve been dining on that deliciousness ever since.
Let’s break down the benefits:
- High energy food
- Phenomenal source of potassium (essential for keeping your blood pressure normal and your heart operating smoothly).
- The particular potassium found in bananas has also been shown to promote bone health and slow bone thinning by improving your bodies ability to absorb calcium
- Bananas have strong anti-acid effects – translations – great for protection against stomach ulcers
- Reduce kidney cancer risk and is a high fiber food that helps prevent heart disease
So next time you see a monkey, shake it’s hand. And next time you make a discovery, consider a patent.
Cheers!
