Who Said Bananas Are Not Good For You?

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

Bananas: Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre, 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.

A few people have a slight problem with the digestion of bananas, the simple answer, even though it sounds strange, is to sprinkle a little Pepper on the banana before eating, it works wonders.

Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the 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 (Middlesex) school 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 fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

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.

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 crisps. 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.

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

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

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.

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-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

A banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare bananas 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. Maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

P.S. Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

Filipino Recipes - Banana Turon - Pinoy Food

Banana can be cooked in a lot of ways but banana turon is certainly the best for me. It is, in fact, one of the top 5 snacks that I love the most. I still remember way back in grade school and high school when I would race down to the canteen after I hear the recess bell ring just to be able to get a banana turon because they sell really fast. Meaning, it is not just my favorite alone, but others also find it really delicious and satisfying. And apart from being delicious, they really come in cheap that most students can afford buying one or two turons during snacktime. And now that I am already a mom, I prepare turon for my son who loves it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

12 pieces bananas (saba)
light brown sugar
native lumpia wrapper
slivers of langka or jackfruit (optional)
flour and water (used to seal the edges)
oil (for frying)
Cooking Procedure:

Remove the banana peel.
Prepare half a portion of the wrapper to fit the peeled bananas.
Roll the peeled bananas in light brown sugar.
A sliver of langka can be added on top of the saba but this is only optional.
Place the sugar coated banana on the lumpia wrapper and roll until the banana is completed wrapped. If necessary, you can also double the wrap.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the wrapped bananas gently until your have a golden brown, crispy and caramelized turon.
Remove the excess oil by placing the cooked turon in a strainer.
Best served while hot.

Joe ¡oh Banana Joe! tu tienes, ¡oh Banana nana Joe! corazón gigante y alma soñante ¡oh Banana nana Joe! Joe ¡oh Banana Joe! tu eres, ¡oh Banana na na Joe! un gran marinero con puños de acero. Violento y enojón, se oye hablar de un trueno, un avión, ¡que vendrá!. Empieza discusiones, y vuelan los golpes. En miles situaciones, es Joe el vencedor. Cantando viaja por el río, en su barca noche y día, pájaros de compañía, ¡Toda la selva es su hogar! Cena tarde con la luna, tenue el fuego le acompaña sólo atrasa su fortuna Banana Joe. Joe, ¡oh Banana Joe! tu vives, ¡oh Banana nana Joe! solo en tu mundo de mil colores. ¡oh Banana nana Joe! Joe, ¡oh Banana Joe! defiendes ¡oh Banana nana Joe! siempre muy valiente tus ideales.

Morning Banana Diet Plan - Best, Cheapest, Easiest Diet Ever For Weight Loss?

The morning banana diet is a new diet that got the Japanese crazy, and making waves around the world, and every diet has plans & rules. If it works for you, then you are successful in eating less food, since this diet generally do this by making eating less convenient or a little harder through restricting what or when you can eat. You will also need motivation for you to be successful in any diet.

1. Eat a banana for breakfast - you can eat more than one. You should only eat uncooked, raw, and unfrozen bananas. If you are still hungry after 15 to 30 minutes, then you can have oatmeal.

2. Eat normally for lunch & dinner - Take your dinner before 8pm, but 6pm is better. On the types of food or amount you can eat for lunch and dinner, there are no explicit limits. In practice, try to cut the amount of rice you eat and find substitutes for fried foods. You are also more aware of what and how much you are eating and how healthy it is. Dessert with dinner or any of your meals is also not recommended for morning banana diet.

3. Drink only water - preferably filtered or mineral, must be in room temperature, not chilled or hot, should be drunk in small sips. Non-caloric beverages like coffee, tea, and diet soda are generally somewhat frowned upon, and water is encouraged as much as possible. Milk products are also discouraged. Milk products is discouraged.

4. You may eat an afternoon snack - fresh fruit for snack are recommended, but if you want sweets you should not deny yourself.

5. Go to bed early - Aim for a 4-hour period between your last meal and bedtime.

6. Exercise only if you want to, since there is no pressure in this diet, but try to do some walking every day.

Fiber Content in Fruits - Top 5 High Fiber Fruits

Fibers are important nutrients for us because of the following several reasons:

- Fiber controls overeating
- It neutralizes blood-sugar level
- It control fat absorption in the body
- It reduces cholesterol
- It reduces chances of cancer

Fruits are one of the rich sources of fiber. High fiber fruits are essential for people who want to burn fat or lose weight. Here we'll be discussing top five fruits having maximum fiber content. Apple, fig, blackberries, pear and banana are top five fruits rich in fiber.

Apple: Apple is a rich source fiber. An apple with skin contains 3 to 5 grams of fiber depending upon the size. An average size apple contains 4grams of fiber.

Figs: One fresh fig contains 2 to 4 grams of fiber.

Blackberries: half cup of raw blackberries contains 4 to 5 grams of fiber.

Pear: Pear is a high fiber fruit. A large pear with skin contains 5 to 6 grams of fiber.

Banana: One banana contains 2 to 4 grams of fiber

There are also several other fruits, which are rich in fiber, viz. Guava, orange, coconut, grapefruit, apricot etc.

The skins of fruits are generally rich sources of fiber. So don't peel fruits like apples & pears. And instead of fruit juice opt for raw fruit. Let's explain this citing an example. An apple contains 3 to 5 grams of fiber depending on its size. To make one glass (250 ml size) of apple juice say three apples are needed. So in making one glass of juice we are wasting 12gm of fiber (assuming one contains 4gm of fiber). So high fiber fruits like apple & pears, having edible skins, should be taken as raw not as juice. Also while making juice of fruit, like orange we throw the pulp, which is a rich source of fiber.

Intake of lots of high fiber fruits makes one's body immune to several diseases along with burning fats.

Milk Banana Diet Review - Weight Loss Benefits of Japanese Milk Banana Diet

Excess weight is a problem faced by the majority of people world-wide and people go through rigorous exercises & real tough schedules to overcome this problem. There are many of us who cannot get indulged such hard & time consuming activities, hence are forced to live along with this problem & suffer on health account. The other option would be to keep trying the ever changing diet plans. One such program which has gained popularity is Milk Banana Diet.

This is a new diet program from Japan which claims to help reduce weight without getting involved in tough work-outs along with the freedom of having the meals of your choice. This diet plan is as follows:

o You start your day with bananas only in the breakfast (1 or more).
o At lunch time you can have any meal whatsoever, only desserts shall be avoided.
o You can again have a banana around 4.00 pm, if you feel so.
o At dinner, you can again have any meal of your choice barring the deserts.
o It would be more beneficial if you include milk in your lunch or dinner as having a healthier meal at lunch/dinner time will give you the desired results faster. You can also have tea or coffee in place of milk.
o Also, you are advised to have your dinner before 8.00 pm for better results and you should retire to bed before midnight.

The benefits of reducing weight through this plan are:

o You can escape from the tough exercises & work-outs.
o The plan is very easy to follow & does not require any specific equipments etc.
o You have the flexibility of having your favorite meals during lunch & dinner, as getting into any other dieting program creates a mental trauma that you will have to get away from the food of your choice.

But one of the major warnings for this program is that it's comparatively very new and the results needs to be carefully evaluated before going ahead.

2 Delicious No Bake Banana Dessert Recipes

Are you looking for some great no baking involved dessert recipes? If so, I think you will enjoy these two recipes which use bananas, along with some additional ingredients.

I try to feed bananas to my family almost on a daily basis because they are healthy for us. They are high in potassium and low in sodium, making them the ideal healthy fruit. They are great for reducing depression, achieving bone and intestinal health, and for regulating high blood pressure.

Bananas can be used in a variety of ways. You can eat them plain as a snack, make some bread, pudding, cakes or even a pie.

The following 2 recipes are great tasting and easy to make.

No-Bake Banana Split Dessert

4 large bananas

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 1/2 sticks of margarine, melted

3 cups crushed pineapple, drained

2 cups confectioners sugar

2 eggs

1 small package chopped nuts

1 large tub of Cool Whip

1 jar maraschino cherries

*optional* Chocolate Sauce

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1/2 stick of melted margarine and graham cracker crumbs. Spread mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking pan and place in the freezer for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, 2 cups of melted margarine and confectioners sugar. Mix those 3 ingredients together using a mixer for 10-15 minutes. Remove baking pan from freezer and spread this mixture over top of the graham cracker crumbs. Slice bananas on top and then add the drained crushed pineapple. Cover pineapple with Cool Whip and sprinkle chopped nuts and cherries on top. Cover pie and refrigerate for 6 hours before serving. If desired, you can serve chocolate sauce over top of the pie but don't add it until 15 minutes before serving the pie to your guests.

No-Bake Banana Pudding Dessert

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafers

4-5 bananas

2 (4-ounce) boxes vanilla or banana cream instant pudding mix

3 cups of cold milk

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (14-ounce) tub Cool Whip, thawed

Line a 13 x 9" baking dish with a single or double layer of vanilla wafers, then add banana slices. In a large bowl, prepare instant pudding mixes according to box directions and using the 3 cups of cold milk; mix in the sweetened condensed milk and then fold in the thawed Cool Whip. Pour this mixture immediately over the sliced bananas and vanilla wafers. Refrigerate dessert for 4-6 hours before serving.

The Medical Effects of Banana

Banana is one of the favorite fruits for many people. Because banana can relieve the depression, so Europeans call it as a "happy fruit". It is also a good fruit to help many girls lose weight. Banana is rich in nutrition but low in calorie. It contains plenty of protein, sugar, potassium, vitamin A and C, as well as dietary fiber. As a result, it is a very good nutritious food. What's more, banana has many medical effects, which are as follows:

First, to relieve depressed emotion
Research found out that banana contains certain substance which can help the brain produce 5-HT (hydroxyl tryptamine). People who suffer from depression always lack of 5-HT in their brain. As a result, properly eating some bananas can dispel the pessimistic and irritable emotion, and increase the calm and happy feeling.

Second, to treat constipation
If the children suffer from constipation, many mothers would like to provide bananas to them. This is absolutely correct. Nutritionists say that banana contains a great amount of soluble fiber-pectin, which can promote digestion, and adjust the gastrointestinal function.

Third, to lower the blood pressure
Banana is rich in A, B, C, E and other vitamins, and it also contains sodium and is low in cholesterol. As a result, regular eating banana can effectively prevent the hardening of the arteries, lower blood cholesterol and high blood pressure. Research shows that eating two bananas a day can reduce the blood pressure by 10%.

Fourth, to relieve itching
Banana peel contains certain material which can inhibit the growth and proliferation of the fungus and bacteria. It is obviously effective to cure the skin itching caused by diseases such as athlete's foot, tinea manuum, tinea corporis and so on.

Fifth, to eliminate the wrinkle and care the skin
Because banana contains various kinds of vitamins, and is rich in sodium while low in cholesterol, so eating banana regularly will not make people gain weight, but can make the skin delicate and healthy. What's more, often rubbing the hands with banana juice can prevent the aging, decrustation, and itching of the skin.

Sixth, to treatment insomnia
Banana is also effective on insomnia or emotional stress, because the proteins in banana contain some amino acids, which have the effect of calming nerves. So eating some bananas before going to bed can play certain sedative effect.

Although banana contains high nutrition, it is not suitable for all the people. Nutritionists say that banana contains high potassium, so people with acute and chronic nephritis, renal failure, are not suitable for eating. In addition, the banana contains too much sugar, so diabetes patients must also pay more attention not to eat too much.

As you know the banana is one of the most delicious and nutritive fruits available on earth. It is also a super ingredient to cook delicious old fashioned banana bread. This bread is yummy to eat and easy to cook. Therefore, most of the ladies like to add its recipe to their cookbook.

Old fashioned banana bread stays fresh for a long time, hence it is ideal to carry in traveling. You can also add it in your picnic especially in summer and other family get-together because it will not rot quickly. Therefore, it can be prepared for any occasion one day before.

This old fashioned banana bread taste more luscious when it is cooked with butter instead of oil. In addition if you also add some nuts in it then its taste become more mouth-watering. So, here is a recipe to bake banana bread.

The following recipe has creaming method including both butter and sugar. Actually, these ingredients are used as the makeup material for the old fashioned banana bread in order to increase its taste. The sugar as well as butter is creamed together and then the rest of the other ingredients are added into the batter for the bread. The butter cream is helpful to include some air pockets into the mixture and thus the loaf of bread becomes lighter.

In addition, by including extra sugar, butter and eggs into the mixture you can get more fluffiness in the bread. However, you should have to mix in less flour. The flour is responsible to add the chewy and toughness like properties in the old fashioned banana bread. The following recipe is sound enough to make this bread flavorful and moist.

Thereafter, mix other ingredients like banana mixture, milk, dry ingredients and nuts into the batter and blend them finely. Thereafter, pour the prepared mixture into the pans and bake for the required time.

Banana Beach Honduras - Forget About the Gold Coast and Start Heading for the Banana Coast!

Since I was ten years old my father, without fail, went every year on a Caribbean vacation. He tended to stick to the big names, Aruba, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Barbados. Every year he brought back pictures and trinkets from the Caribbean, a dance-hall CD, a traditional necklace or some souvenir. Undoubtedly initially prompted by the fact that my father would never let me go with him (selfish adults wanting romantic breaks!), I became determined to visit the Caribbean myself and discover slices of paradise like Banana Beach Honduras.

After my fourth or fifth trip to the type of beautiful resorts my father always visited I realized that they really weren't for me. Who doesn't love the pure white sand of Palm Beach in Aruba or the gentle party atmosphere of Luquillo Beach in Puerto Rico? But I wanted something more.

For me visiting the Caribbean should be like visiting a little slice of paradise. The overcrowded and overbuilt aspects of the Gold Coast in Barbados, or the spring break atmosphere in Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica just do not cut it for me. Paradise should be paradise. So for the past few years I have been searching out undiscovered spots in the Caribbean for my vacations.

I found another amazing spot this year... Banana Beach Honduras. About 30 minutes away from the sleepy coastal town of Trujillo in the north part of the country, near to the better known Bay Islands of Roatan and Utilla. Nestled in the middle of Trujillo Bay, Banana Beach is just what I want from a Caribbean spot... small, secluded and with an emphasis on uniqueness. Rather than a hotel, or some other type of complex, the owners opted for three two bed-room cabanas.

The cabanas have been put together with a real eye for detail. The kitchen and bathroom are modern, but the rooms benefit from Colonial furniture and bamboo features. One of their best features are the gazebos which are covered to allow you to sit in the evening with a drink, without worrying about the bugs (a tiresome reality for all Caribbean vacations!). But for me the most important feature of any Caribbean resort is the beach and Banana Beach in Honduras definitely lives up to its reputation.

The Beach front stretches out for miles in either direction. More development is on its way to the Trujillo area, but at present the coast line is pretty undisturbed. If you want a relaxing beach walk, Santa Fe, a vibrant Garifuna town, is not too far away. The water is crystal clear, the resort beach is clean and well looked after. The main bar is close by so you can have agua de coco (coconut water) to your heart's content! The beach has just the right combination of interesting visitors and locals - neither of which are trying to sell you souvenirs every minute!

So, if you are looking for a little slice of undeveloped Caribbean paradise I recommend Banana Beach Honduras. Trujillo is developing along the same lines as Roatan and Utilla were a few years back, so I would suggest that you visit before the crowds set in!

Christopher Columbus discovered Trujillo a few hundred years ago, I would encourage you to re-discover it before everyone else does!

Light Banana Cake With Chocolate Sauce

Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world. You may think bananas are only for breakfast, but they make great desserts. "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book," first published in 1896, contains a recipe for banana cake. The recipe hasn't changed in the passing years, but the availability of nutritional information has changed.

According to the Produce Oasis Web site, one medium banana contains 110 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of fiber, 400 milligrams of potassium, 21 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.

Potassium and sugar make bananas a "perfect runner's food," according to the Devine Sports Web site. "Eating a banana in midrace is always a good strategy to avoid bonking in the final miles," the site says. If you get leg or foot cramps try eating a banana.

Bananas are good for you. The Pediatric Oncall Web site lists the vitamins and minerals in bananas: 17 milligrams of calcium, 36 milligrams of phosphorous, .9 milligrams of iron, 7 milligrams of vitamin C, and a small amount of vitamin B complex. Good as bananas are, they can ripen quickly. What can you do with over-ripe fruit?

You can make light banana cake, an adaptation of the old-fashioned recipe. Sugar-free applesauce replaces some of the butter and Splenda blend replaces some of the sugar. This is a delicious snack cake warm from the oven. For a snazzy dessert, serve the cake with whipped topping, chocolate syrup and toasted nuts.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups regular flour (presifted)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon lower sodium salt

2/3 cup mashed, ripe bananas

1/4 cup sugar-free applesauce

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 tablespoons soft butter

1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

1 1/2 cups Splenda blend

2 large eggs

8-ounce carton "free" whipped topping

Sugar-free chocolate syrup

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 10-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl combine mashed bananas, applesauce, and vanilla.

Cream butter, Splenda blend, and sour cream in small mixer bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Alternately add dry and wet ingredients to batter. Pour batter into pie plate and bake for 28 minutes, or until the top is golden. Cool on rack.

Slice cake. Top each slice with whipped topping. Drizzle chocolate syrup over cake and garnish with toasted almonds or walnuts. Makes 12 servings.

Baking a Cake From Scratch

Baking a cake from scratch is not difficult.
I have several recipe books and use from several that I have had over 20 years.

To start you want your pans prepared. Grease and flour the pans. Usually I like to make a 2 layer cake that is made with 2 9" round pans.

Let me use a recipe I really like. My husband enjoys chocolate cake but some family members aren't big on chocolate so here is a banana cake recipe.

Baking a cake from scratch can be just as easy as a mix. You just want to make sure you have all your ingredients before you start. Take inventory and read the ingredients. Read your recipe through because once in awhile I will notice that they ask for something that isn't on the ingredients list. Then you have to substitute or make a quick run to the store.

Our banana cake recipe starts with creaming the shortening and sugar together. It calls for 3/4 cup shortening and 1 and 1/2 cups sugar. Shortening should be soft (you can use butter or margarine, a stick of margarine is 1/2 cup so you would use 1 and 1/2 sticks) and mix the sugar with it on low speed with an electric hand mixer.

As we continue baking a cake from scratch we will add 1 cup (about 3 bananas) of mashed bananas to the shortening mix, then add 1/2 cup milk, 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, Mix these all together with your electric mixer on medium speed until everything is mixed and creamy.

I will then just add the 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder plus 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I add one on top of the other and then just mix it all in at one time. Start the electric mixer on slow and gradually get it to high as it mixes.

When you have a smooth mix you are ready to pour it into the prepared pans. Pour some into each pan and get them where they are almost equal. Now I will take and just give each pan two hard taps on the counter to remove air bubbles. Just grab the top with both hands for this. At this point they are ready to bake.

Bake the cake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes a put a knife in the center. If the knife comes out clean the cake should be done. I don't like to over bake a cake as it dries it out.

Now that you know how easy baking a cake from scratch is you can add a nice butter cream frosting and have a delicious cake that you can decorate.

Think of how many orders you could get for homemade cake and beautifully decorated too.

How To Make Low GI Banana Bread

As far as low gi banana bread recipes go, this one is my favorite. It is the perfect snack for those early evening cravings and it also goes great with a cup of tea or a cold glass of milk. You can spread a slice with a small amount of non-hydrogenated margarine, but I find a warm slice of this bread is excellent on its own.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 cup ground flaxseed

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 very ripe, medium bananas, mashed

6 tbsp SPLENDA® brown sugar blend

3/4 tbsp lemon juice plus enough skim milk to make 3/4 cup (or use 3/4 cup buttermilk)

4 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray. Measure 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best) into a measuring cup and pour in skim milk for a total of one cup. Do not stir. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can simply use 1 cup of buttermilk if you have this ingredient on hand.

In a large bowl, blend flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and set aside.

Beat egg whites and sugar. Add bananas and vanilla and beat lightly.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine until well mixed. Add walnuts and stir until combined.

Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes.

The Japanese Banana Diet - Does it Really Work?

The Japanese Banana Diet was been getting a lot of press lately, some good and some bad. In this article I want to discuss the Banana diet and tell you about my personal experiences of using this diet.

The Japanese Banana Diet

The first thing that you have to realize is that this diet is not for everyone. In fact, I feel that I should go ahead and tell you up front that based on my personal experience, the effectiveness of this diet really tops out at around 15 pounds. However, if you are looking to lose weight quickly then the Japanese banana diet may be just what you need.

The first thing that you need to do is eat 2 bananas before eating breakfast. In fact, many people simply substitute bananas for their current breakfast. It is suggested that you drink either water or some form of natural fruit juice (typically apple or orange juice) while on the banana diet. Do not drink soda.

You can go ahead and eat lunch as normal, except try to stop yourself when you are about 80% satisfied. It takes a few minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it is satisfied, but traditionally if you only eat 80% of what you normally eat at lunch time you will be fine according to the diet.

When dinner time comes, you must eat 2 bananas right before dinner. These 2 bananas will contain a combined estimated 180-200 calories, which means you will not be as hungry at dinner. You can follow up your bananas with some form of rice, as this is popular in Japan.

The Japanese banana diet is really all about portion control. If you can learn to eat 3-5 bananas per day before meals, and also eat smaller meals then you are on the fast track to weight loss.

The Japanese Banana diet works well, but honestly it is not what helped me lose over 60 pounds safely in just a few months. Do you want to see what did help me lose all that weight?

Banana Wart Removal Remedy - How to Use Banana Peels to Remove Warts Quickly & Naturally

Warts are skin growths that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), and they are considered non-cancerous. Warts are typically small in size and are commonly found on a person's hands and feet.

There are a number of different types of warts such as common warts, plantar warts, plane warts, and filiform warts. Different strains of the HPV can cause warts to appear on the skin. A person that has damaged or wet skin and comes in contact with rough surfaces are at a higher risk of catching the infection.

Although most warts clear up on their own, it can take a long time depending on the person. The medical ways to get rid of warts include salicylic acid liquids and pads, and freezing them off.

Although these removal methods have proven to be effective in some cases, many people still prefer to remove this skin growth by using more natural removal method.

For those looking for an effective alternative to remove warts naturally, banana peels may be the removal method you need. To use the banana wart removal method you can use fresh banana peel pieces every day on the affected area. Since the healing properties of the banana are more active when the banana is young, you should try to use bananas that are turning from green to yellow.

To begin using this banana wart removal remedy you must peel the banana and cut off a piece of the banana peel large enough to cover your wart. Before applying the peel to your wart you must first wash the affected area with soap and warm water.

Once you're finished washing the affected area simply apply the piece of the banana peel to cover your wart and then use a bandage to tape the peel firmly in place. This banana wart removal remedy will eliminate your warts once you repeat the process for at least 2 weeks.

Before taping on a new piece of banana peel you must wash the affected area and file down any dead skin with a pumice stone.

What To Do With Those Overripe Bananas

What to do with those overripe bananas that are too ripe to eat? When your bananas have more black spots then yellow. When the stems look like a ripcord, just about to rip. Why not make Banana Nut Cookies.

This morning as I strolled into the kitchen I noticed the bananas on the kitchen counter were turning black spotted. My first thought was to make banana bread. But then I realized this was a perfect opportunity to create a new cookie recipe.

Throwing caution to the wind I started to create a cookie recipe out of my tried and true banana nut bread recipe. I added a few more ingredients and added to some ingredients and subtracted from some ingredients. Then I began baking. The first batch came out shaped like cookies, but was fluffy like cake. They tasted pretty much like banana nut bread. Not bad, but not what I was trying to create. I then added more butter and sugar to make them a little crisper and sweeter. What makes a good cookie into a great cookie? Chocolate chips. I added a bag of quality chocolate chips. Quality is the key word here; the quality of your chocolate chips can either make or break a good cookie. This batch was good but needed some extra texture. I didn't want to create a cake cookie. I wanted to create a cookie. The next batch I added coconut and oats. Wow, what a difference! The coconut and oats not only added texture, but added crispiness and chewiness too.

What was that old saying? Something like, "when life give you lemons make lemon aid." In other words, when life gives you overripe bananas make banana nut chocolate chip cookies. Any time you have fruit taking the southern route there is always a recipe, let me say a cookie recipe to create.

Cream together:

2-cups butter

1-cup sugar

1-cup packed brown sugar

2-eggs

3-bananas

½-cup sour cream

After the above ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, mix in:

1½-tsp. baking soda

1-tsp. baking powder

½-tsp. salt

4-cups flour

Mix all these ingredients together well. Now I'll give you some options to add, but you will need to add at least some of these ingredients if not all of them. When baking cookies everyone has their individual tastes. It is always advisable to make a new cookie recipe your own. Add things you like and subtract things you don't. Who knows your cookie may turn out better than the original recipe.

1-cup nuts

1-11.5 oz. bag of chocolate chips

1-cup coconut

1-cup of quick oats

The Connection Between Banana and Bodybuilding

If you are a gym buff, then you have probably heard that you should eat a banana before and after your work out. Yes, it's true! A banana is a very important food for body builders and most of them do eat banana before and after their gym session. But what's in the fruit? Is it because of its protein content? Protein is very essential in building muscles because it helps in muscular repair after an intense workout. Or is it because of the potassium? We all know that banana is very rich in potassium. Well, to know the truth, let's see how much protein and potassium the banana contains.

The facts:

In an average sized banana, there would be about 400 mg of potassium and around 1 gram of protein. Now let us analyze if the protein content in a banana is sufficient enough to provide the protein needs of a bodybuilder post workout. According to studies, an average man needs 2 grams of protein/kg of body weight, and for athletes and bodybuilders, the requirement would be 3-4 gm protein/ kg of body weight. Considering the facts mentioned, we can safely conclude that eating banana after a workout has nothing to do about protein. Bananas are good source of potassium. 400 grams of potassium is actually 10 percent of the recommended potassium intake daily for the average man.

Electrolyte is lost during intense activities like in working out and potassium is one of those electrolytes. So eating a banana prior will help prevent too much potassium loss and eating one after workout replenish the potassium lost by the body. It will also prevent dehydration, muscular cramps and weakness which are common during excessive electrolyte loss.

So, there you go! Banana is important for bodybuilders because of its potassium content and not for its protein. To effectively improve your physique, eating a combination of banana and high protein foods like eggs, nuts and chicken breasts is the best thing to do.

Smoking Banana Peels - How True is It?

Have you heard of the phrase smoking banana peels? When you try researching the term, another term comes up which is bananadine. Apparently, an urban legend about smoking banana peels was the reason why the word bananadine was coined. Wikipedia defines bananadine as "a fictional psychoactive substance which is allegedly extracted from banana peels."

It sounds really weird to actually smoke using banana peels. This fictitious activity started when a recipe on extraction of bananadine from banana peels was published in Berkeley Barb, which was an underground newspaper. Max Scherr, the founder and editor, published a satirical story about a bananadine-induced psychedelic high. According to him, the high is just like that of opium and psilocybin. The story gained popularity after two significant events. It got published in The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell and people related it to a hit single titled "Mellow Yellow." What started as a hoax is now considered to be true by people!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a study on bananadine after a New York Times article stated, that "banana scrapings, provide-if anything-a mild psychedelic experience." The FDA study concluded otherwise. To support the findings of the FDA, researchers at New York University found that banana peels do not contain intoxicating chemicals. According to them, smoking banana peels merely created a placebo effect. That is, the psychedelic high is only a result of the person's perception of how it works.

Studies prove that the hoax has no grain of truth to it. It was fictional and an urban legend, nothing more. But still, some people have the opposite opinion. Others even went as far as posting a recipe in the Web! Is smoking banana peels real or not? Why would you even bother? Smoking is not a good habit. And if you smoke to get high, that is even worse. Quit smoking now! Make the right choice!

Easy Banana Walnut Muffin Recipe

Here's a tip for chopping nuts, such as walnuts, in a food processor:

The first step is to pulse walnuts 1 cup at a time, with the shells removed of course, on chop four or five times. Then turn the food processor off and scrape the jar with a spatula. Return the chopped nuts to the food processing jar and pulse on chop two or three more times. If you like more coarsely chopped nuts, don't pulse them as many times or for as long. For best results, do not exceed 1 cup at a time in your food processor.

Now on to my favorite banana walnut muffin recipe!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon salt

Scrape the food processor bowl with a spatula. Add egg, milk and oil and process until combined, about 10 seconds. Then add the walnuts and dry ingredients. Pulse in food processor until flour is just mixed in, about 3 - 4 times. (It's okay if the batter is lumpy and still has some dry flour may be left on top.

The Best Chocolate Banana Muffins

Muffins are a staple among breakfast and snack items. There are so many flavors to choose from including peanut butter fudge, banana nut, cranberry bran, blueberry and even basic corn muffins. The limits are truly endless. Chocolate Banana takes the cake with its sweet blends of tropical banana flavors and cocoa tempting the taste buds. There are many versions of the muffins - mini, regular, jumbo and even frosted. The only problem with them is they are high in fat, calories, cholesterol, sodium and trans fats. If you are on any kind of weight loss plan at all, these baked treats can leave you with guilt.

Making a chocolate banana muffin at home on the other hand can be quite healthy if you include ingredients like flax seeds, whole grains, bran, margerine and sugar-free alternatives. The costs for these ingredients can really add up, and the baking process can really leave a mess behind. Unfortunately, the truth is that a homemade health muffin usually doesn't taste completely fantastic when the tastier ingredients are removed.

Instead, search for a store-bought alternative that offers a completely healthy option and tastes good too. Look for muffins around 100 calories that have no hydrogenated oils and no preservatives. Don't bother going to a regular grocery store for these items. Most likely, you'll have to visit a store like Whole Foods or a local health shop to find healthy chocolate banana muffins. Check with weight loss companies if you can't find them in the stores.

Banana Republic Outlet Store - How So Low?

Have you ever thought, hmmm, how are prices so low at Outlet stores like Banana Republic Outlet Store? How can these prices be so low compared to the main store Banana Republic? Well, to most this may not be such a big secret. There are actually two main whys those outlets stores can offer merchandise 20% to 50% off. One way is to offer discontinued merchandise, sell garments that are distressed coming from the merchants and the other way is to offer returned merchandise that can't be resold in the main store.

Discontinued merchandise - All fashion items go through fashion season. Fall, summer, spring or winter there are cloths for all seasons. But as it turns out not every single item is sold during every season. Left over merchandise cannot be kept on the rack. So retailers pretty much rather get the rock bottom price for the garment without taking a total loss. So, they will send these garments to outlet shops that will mark the price down to pretty much the bottom price that is close to cost. This keeps the manufacturer from not taking a lost and allows for the normal customer to find a great deal.

Distressed merchandise - Do you know that the people that sow these clothing items together do actually make mistakes from time to time. I suspect that most people would if they make 50 to 100 pants per day. These items or mistakes are called distressed clothing. And outlet shops are full with this sort of stuff. This could be pants, shirts, coats anything that is manufactured. But don't get pissed about this. These items are opportunities to save significant money. And some of the items are not that distressed. Some may just have a stitch that is going the wrong way. Or maybe the pants may say that their supposed to be 42 inches long but are irregular at 41 ½ inches long. Not such a biggy. But big names like Banana Republic will not put this distressed items on their main floor. That is a plus for you and me.

Last but not least are returned items - Now, these items don't usually end up on the main flow. Occasionally they do. But some do make it to the outlet store. These items are sold to wholesaler, as bulk items are they are featured at other outlet stores. These items are brand new items that may just need another chance. This is just the opportunity that is needed for you and me.

Remember, don't be afraid of these items, the opportunity is great to save a lot of money.

Anti-Cancer Wonder Fruit - Bananas

I like to watch tennis matches on TV, especially the grand slam series. Running under the hot sun for hours at high speeds requires a lot of energy and stamina. So during the breaks, players would replenish their bodies with fluids and sometimes bananas.
 
Why bananas and not other fruits? There are many reasons. Bananas are easy to peel and eat and provide a quick boost of energy. Depending on the type and size of the banana, they typically contain 110 calories, 3 natural sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose), about 6 vitamins, and 11 minerals. It is a good source of potassium and fiber and has no fat and cholesterol.

I love to eat bananas and there are so many ways to prepare and consume it. Bananas can be made into cake, bread, pie, sauce, ketchup, pudding, chips, yogurt, and beer, among many others. You can freeze it, deep-fry it, steam it, squeeze it into juice, split it and serve with ice-cream, slice and put it in a sandwich, or cut it up and mix it in a salad bowl. For me, eating it on its own at 90% ripeness is a super treat.

Bananas have a long list of health benefits, some of which are:

1.   Ease Constipation: its high fiber content helps digestive tract and bowel movement

2.   Diarrhea: the potassium replaces the lost electrolytes

3.   Anemia: the iron helps to replenish the red blood cells

4.   Healthy bones: bananas contain a complex sugar compound that nourishes good bacteria in the colon. This good bacteria produce enzymes which help digestion and in the process increase the absorption of calcium

5.   Prevent High blood pressure: its high potassium and low sodium ratio helps prevent high blood pressure and stroke

6.   Help reduce Ulcers: bananas stimulate the cells on the internal stomach lining to produce a thick mucus protecting it against acid; it contain enzyme inhibitors that get rid of bacteria in the stomach that cause ulcers

7.   Reduce Depression: bananas contain an amino acid that can be converted to serotonin and help reduce depression

8.  Relief Stress: when a person is highly stressed, his potassium level will deplete quickly. Eating bananas, which is high in potassium, will restore the level and provide a good balance in the body

9.   Reduce Heartburn: bananas help to prevent the build-up of acids in the stomach and provide relief for people suffering from heartburn

10. Reduce Morning Sickness: bananas help keep the blood-sugar level up and reduce morning sickness

11. Help to quit Smoking: bananas contain vitamins B6, B12, potassium and magnesium that can help a person trying to quit smoking to recover from nicotine withdrawal

12. Anti-Cancer quality: a fully ripe banana produces a substance known as TNF that can fight abnormal cells. Dark spots will appear on the skin of the banana as it ripens. The more dark spots it has the better its fighting ability and anti-cancer quality.

In researches conducted in Japan using animals, the health benefits of various fruits were compared. The fruits include banana, apple, pear, pineapple, persimmon, grape, and water melon. Banana came out top. Eating bananas produced the anti-cancer substance TNF, increased the white blood cells count, and improved the immunity of the body.

So eat a banana a day and keep the doctors away. Care to join me?

Banana Republic

Like a cat I slumber, blissfully unencumbered,

Through eighty per cent of my allotted span,

Occasionally awoken, when dissent is spoken,

And I invent another cunning five year plan,

Lately it was pensions, that were being mentioned,

So I borrowed from the French and Robespierre,

Scrap all that went before, saved by tooth and claw,

And let my all equal Citizens appear,

Currently it is time, for me to be in my prime,

For there is another election looming,

I have to appear sincere, for part of this coming year,

And assure everyone that everything is booming,

Never mind strict quotas, Ive imported multitudes of voters,

And told them which party let them stay,

Though Ive rigged the postal vote, and defamed everyone of note,

You never know what might happen on the day.

So to be on the safe side, I swallow all my pride,

And allow my people to hear my hallowed voice,

And roll out the charade, put on the facade,

And even make believe they have a choice,

Next time around the crown, will be trampled underground,

House of Lords and Lord Chancellor history,

With the other Chancellor gone, I alone will soldier on,

Yes, then there will only ever be me,

Ill hold elections for you, as all dictators do,

And fill positions with those that grease my palm,

As for civil unrest, there is always house arrest,

Or secret imprisonment for those that mean me harm.

So from national nursery, via educational history,

You can in time join the New Labour Youth,

Be taught gay is fun, and the state is number one,

And any other opinion is untruth.

Ask the media if unsure, or philosophically impure,

Brainwashing British Citizens is their forte,

They will surely put you right, or visit you at night,

Either way they will stop you being naughty.

Meekly follow all the rules, laid down in our schools,

Where state is all and learning is suppressed,

And you can safely be ignored, not seen as being flawed,

Just be another number like the rest.

Better far to be, a part of mediocrity,

Within your state and the seeds they have sown,

Than to disappear, or to live in constant fear,

For having a mind and will all of your own.

How is it that we, lost the option to be free,

How did we give away our right to choice,

How did we believe, whilst being deceived,

When did we decide to lose our voice.

How did we select the politically correct,

Why are we victims of unpunished crime,

Were we such fools as not to see the tools,

Or did we think they would go away in time.

The tap is darkly dripping, droplets that are gripping,

Our throats today our minds in time to come,

We must turn the tide, and reaffirm our pride,

We must prove we are not deaf and dumb.

It is no good wailing, chained up to your railing,

That you want the vote back like before,

For no one hears your plea, they are deaf to you and me,

No on cares about us any more.

This is about manipulation, of us and of our nation,

This is about illusions triumph over actual reason,

This is about lies, and the power to mesermerise,

This is about a slowly creeping treason,

This is about the eviscery, of the neutral BBC,

This is about what poison will soon take its place,

This is about five year plans, and Citizens of Euroland,

This is about civil service, with a very red face,

This is about soaps and plays, which in very subtle ways,

Try to put into our minds new sets of plausible truths,

This is about newspaper demise, in the guise of purveying lies,

Whilst the state preaches Pravda through schools to our youth,

This is about vision and sound, and any means that is allowed,

Trying to persuade you against your own common sense,

This is about duplicity, making seem true what cannot be,

And hoping you will at very least sit on the fence.

This is about unelected expertise, being paid huge taxpayer fees,

Alaister Campbells school of used car salesmen integrity,

This about usage of such curs, and their lies, and their slurs,

To pull the wool over the eyes of you and me.

Maybe feeble opposition is fuelling this submission,

But this is not about parties or their competence,

This is simply a war, not about who to vote for,
But who to definitely vote against.

Butt, Hip & Thigh Toning Recipe - Tight Booty Banana-Berry Smoothie

There's a lot of truth the old saying: "You are what you eat." This is especially true when it comes to eating for a great body and optimal fitness. For women - exercise and nutrition are the key weapons in repairing or preserving a firm, toned and shapely butt, hip and thigh area.

It doesn't matter how young or how old you are - the quality of the foods you eat have a direct impact on how you look, feel and function. Proper exercise gives you the correct stimulus in the areas you want to enhance - and proper foods give you the nutrients, vitamins and minerals to allow your body to look and function at it's highest level.

One of the best 'unknown' foods you can add to your diet is ground flax seeds. They provide a great balance of protein, fiber and fatty acids (omega-3's). They also work wonders in appetite control and blood sugar stabilization.

Flax seeds are so popular and readily available now - you can even find them at your local grocery store. If not - you can find them at many nutrition sites on the internet. Once you have your flax seeds - there is no end to the number of ways you can add them to your daily meals. Here is just one quick and easy way:

Tight Booty Banana-Berry Smoothie

1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries (preferably organic)
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (preferably organic)
1 (4 oz.) strawberry yogurt
2/3 c soy milk or skim (preferably organic)
3 Tbsp. milled or ground flax seed (preferably organic)
6 - 7 ice cubes
1/4 teaspoon of stevia powder extract (preferably organic)

Place all ingredients in a blender and mix on medium-high speed for 45 seconds or until smoothly whipped. Pour into 4 glasses and serve immediately for you and your lucky guests.

Makes 4 servings.
Each serving: 160 calories;
6 g dietary fiber;
28 g carbohydrates;
5 g protein;
5 g fat (less than 1 g saturated fat);
3 mg cholesterol;

This is just one way to feed your body the elements it needs to stay tightly toned and firmly lifted. For women who want to regain, or preserve and maintain, a sexy eye-catching butt hip and thigh area - its a matter of doing the small things consistently - to get the results you desire.
