A MUST-READ!!!

Banana for Breakfast anyone???

This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

BRAIN POWER:
200 students at a Twickenham school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

HANGOVERS:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

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.

MOSQUITO BITES:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

NERVES:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

ULCERS:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chroniclercases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it 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 value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'

HERE ARE SOME LITTLE-KNOWN HEALTH BENEFITS OF MINT LEAVES
RELIEVE HEADACHE
Mint leaves can be used as first aid for headaches, as they have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Many people also report using peppermint oil for relief from their migraines and other types of headaches. How to use peppermint to relieve a headache?

Taking a bath can help decrease headache intensity. Add a few drops of diluted peppermint oil to your bath to really increase the relaxation benefits. Turn the bathroom lights off and use a candle if your headache gets worse with bright lights. Try taking a bath to prevent a headache from coming on or worsening.

INHALE PEPPERMINT OIL WITH STEAM
Pour hot water into a bowl and add 3 to 7 drops of essential oil. Cover your head with a towel, close your eyes, and breathe through your nose. Do this for no more than 2 minutes. Steam inhalation can help with sinus headaches, especially if you also have symptoms of congestion.

Add it to your massage oil

Essential oils need to be diluted in a carrier oil before being applied directly to the skin. Usually, the recommended ratio is 3 to 5 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of sweet almond oil, warmed coconut oil, or mineral oil. People with nut allergies should always avoid nut-based oils.

Diffuse it into the air

Use a diffuser to help diffuse the oil into the air. You can also inhale peppermint oil directly from the bottle. If the scent is too strong, add a few drops to a cloth, cotton ball, or tissue and breathe it in. Avoid incense sticks, as the smell of smoke may worsen your symptoms.

Drink peppermint tea

Peppermint essential oil shouldn’t bet taken orally, but you can make tea using peppermint leaves. According to a 2016 study, drinking peppermint tea may help you think more clearly and feel more alert.

Peppermint oil has not been studied enough to encourage use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Children and infants should not inhale peppermint oil.

First aid in toothache

Chewing mint leaves can help with toothache. Mint has antiseptic properties that treat infections as well as a chemical, called chlorhexidine; a potent anti-microbial compound, which prevents bacteria that cause tooth decay and bad breath. Many teeth whitening products also contain mint as one of their primary ingredients.

MINT CAN ALSO PREVENT DANDRUFF:


Dandruff is caused by an accumulation of excess oil and debris, and sometimes a fungal infection. Moreover, a dirty scalp is a breeding ground for head lice. A good and natural way to prevent dandruff and head lice is to massage your scalp with crushed mint leaves. Mint’s antibacterial properties naturally relieve itching and irritation.

CAN ALSO RELIEVE INDIGESTION
Mint may also be effective at relieving other digestive problems such as upset stomach and indigestion.

Indigestion may occur when food sits in the stomach for too long before passing into the rest of the digestive tract.

Multiple studies have shown that food passes through the stomach quicker when people take peppermint oil with meals, which could relieve symptoms from this type of indigestion.

A clinical study in people with indigestion showed that a combination of peppermint oil and caraway oil taken in capsules had effects similar to medications used to treat indigestion. This helped improve stomach pain and other digestive symptoms.

Similar to IBS, studies highlighting mint’s ability to relieve indigestion used peppermint oil rather than fresh or dried leaves.

MAY DECREASE BREASTFEEDING PAIN


Breastfeeding mothers commonly experience sore and cracked ni***es, which can make breastfeeding painful and difficult.

Studies have shown that applying mint to the skin can help relieve pain associated with breastfeeding.

In these studies, breastfeeding mothers applied various forms of mint to the area around the ni**le after each feeding. Typically, they used an essential oil on its own or mixed with gel or water.

One study showed that applying peppermint water after breastfeeding was more effective than applying expressed breast milk in preventing ni**le and ar**la cracks, which resulted in less ni**le pain.

Another study similarly showed that only 3.8% of mothers who applied a peppermint gel experienced ni**le cracks, compared to 6.9% of those who used lanolin and 22.6% of those who used a placebo.

Furthermore, an additional study showed that both the pain and severity of ni**le cracks decreased in mothers who applied menthol essential oil after each feeding.

migraines

Oh no, you know the feeling. You start getting an aura. There’s a twinge of pain in your head. Nausea sets in and before you know it, you are in so much pain that you can’t even function. Yes, you have yet another migraine.Migraines cause hundreds of hours of lost productivity every day, causing people to call in sick and spend a day or more recovering in a dark room.


If you’re no stranger to migraines, you don’t have to rely on time to solve your problems. Instead, use this quick, natural migraine remedy to get pain relief fast.

CAUSES OF MIGRAINES

It’s hard to tell what causes migraines. Everyone seems to have different triggers and instigators. Common migraine triggers include spicy food, loud noises, certain scents, stress, and illnesses.Though you may be able to minimize the amount of migraines you get by minimizing your exposure to triggers, you still need a good way to get rid of migraines whenever they slip through your defenses.

INGREDIENTS FOR YOUR QUICK HOME MIGRAINE REMEDY

Ready to whip up your own homemade migraine remedy? Just make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:


3 whole lemons
Himalayan salt
See how easy this remedy is? You only need two items.

STEPS TO CREATE AND USE YOUR REMEDY

Now you can start preparing your migraine remedy. Just follow the following steps to get started:

Zest all three lemons, only testing down to the yellow part of the fruit. Save the zest in a bowl.
Now, cut all three lemons in half.
Juice all three lemons, collecting the juice in the same bowl as the lemon zest.
Add 3 teaspoons of Himalayan salt to the lemon juice mixture.
Stir or whisk the mixture rapidly until the salt is dissolved as much as possible.
In one big swig, drink the salt mixture. It doesn’t taste great, but it is very effective at fighting migraines!
OTHER TIPS

Keep in mind that prevention is more powerful than any cure. As soon as you start feeling the initial signs of a migraine, you may want to mix up this remedy as quickly as possible and gulp it down. The more severe your migraine is when you take this remedy, the longer it takes to work.It’s also extremely important to use high-quality Himalayan salt.

Kosher salt, sea salt, and table salt simply do not have the same nutrients and health benefits as Himalayan salt. The minerals and vitamins found in Himalayan sea salt combat your migraine and help you stay healthy—other types of salt just do not work as well.To make the most of this remedy, you may still want to lay down and get some rest.

Even the early stages of a migraine can take a lot out of you, and a short nap may help you regain your strength and heal more quickly. Migraines are known for knocking people out for days at a time. Take your health back with this simple remedy that you can try at home

Fire Cider Tonic.

Powerful Anti inflammatory, prevents viral infections and strengthens the immune system.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup coarsely grated peeled horseradish (about 4 ounces)
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
8 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup peeled and coarsely grated or chopped ginger (about 3 ounces)
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 rosemary sprigs
1 whole clove
1–2 dried hot chiles
1 lemon, quartered
2 cups (or more) unfiltered apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons (or more) honey
Special Equipment
A (preferably glass) quart container; cheesecloth
Do Ahead
Fire cider can be made 3 months ahead; store chilled in a (preferably glass) resealable container.
PREPARATION
Place horseradish, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, peppercorns, rosemary, and clove in quart jar. Crumble chile (use 2 if you like it spicy) into jar. Squeeze in lemon quarters; add rinds. Pour vinegar into jar until solids are fully submerged. Cover tightly, then swirl jar gently to combine. Let stand in a dark spot 1 month.
Strain through a cheesecloth-lined colander or sieve into a large measuring cup; discard solids. Gather up corners of cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible (wear gloves if you wish to avoid turmeric stains on your hands). Rinse out jar and pour in liquid. Add 2 Tbsp. honey, then shake covered jar or whisk to combine. Add more honey to taste.
You can transfer mixture to a few smaller bottles, such as swing-top bottles, as it’s easier to pour from this way. Tightly seal and chill.
Suggested Uses:
Cold Preventative:
Sip by the spoonful when you feel a cold coming. You can also dilute it in water.
Fire Cider Tonic:
This makes a great mocktail. Add about 1 Tbsp. fire cider and a squeeze of fresh orange juice to a glass of seltzer. Garnish with rosemary sprig.
Salad Dressing:
Use in place of apple cider vinegar in your favorite vinaigrette. You likely won’t need to add any additional sweetener.
Fire Cider Tea:
Add about 1 Tbsp. fire cider to a mug of hot water, along with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a little honey to sweeten. Finish with a bit of freshly ground black pepper.
Fresh Herb Sauces:
Use fire cider in place of the red wine vinegar in sauces like chimichurri.
Marinade for fish, chicken, or tofu:
Think of fire cider as the acid in bright, assertive marinades similar to those for jerk chicken.
