Wanna know why monkeys are so happy? Bananas!

Here are three banana rules...


Rule No. 1: Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!

Rule No. 2: Unless you have a lot of “nanner” eaters in your home buy only a few at a time as they get over ripe quickly.

Rule No. 3: They bake up great in banana nut bread. These can make great gifts at Christmas time.

Now, did you know...


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.


Overweight and/or Pressure 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, 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.


Bananas. The next miracle drug?
