    Benefits of foods



    "Share the benefits of various foods, fruits and vegetables here."


    Benefits of banana

    Reducing Depression

    Bananas contain tryptophan, an aminoacid that can be converted to serotonin, leading to improved mood. Serotonin is a hormone that is known to make you feel happy and improve your mood.

    Anemia

    Bananas are relatively high in iron, which helps the body's hemoglobin function

    Constipation and Diarrhea
    Due to their content in fiber, they help restore a normal bowel function. In addition, diarrhea usually depletes your body of important electrolytes (of which the most important is potassium, contained in high amounts in bananas). They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber (hydrocolloid) that can help normalize movement through the digestive tract.

    Heartburn
    Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

    Morning Sickness
    Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood-sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

    Blood Pressure

    Banana is good for people who have high blood pressure because it is low in salt.

    Smoking
    Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. They contain vitamins B6 and B12 they contain, as well as potassium and magnesium: these substances help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

    Ulcers
    This is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicle cases. It also helps reduce acidity and reduces irritation.
