10. Warts No More!
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that bananas can do
wonders to a warty appearance! Take a piece of banana skin and
place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Then, hold the skin
in place with a plaster or surgical tape.
11. Binge Stopper
You are not alone when you find yourself gorging on chocolate and
chips when you're stressed. Looking at 5000 hospital patients,
researchers from the Institute of Psychology in Austria found the
most obese patients were more likely to hold high-pressure jobs. To
curb your stress-induced food cravings, snack on a B-vitamin-rich
banana every 2 hrs instead.
12. Natural "Nicotine" Patch
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking, as the high
levels of vitamins C, A1, B6, B12 they contain, as well as the
potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from
the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
So, when you compare the banana to an apple, the yellow fruit wins
hands down 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 valus foods around. So maybe its time to
change that well-know phrase to "a banana a day keeps the doctor
away!"
