14 Health Problems That Can Be Treated With Bananas

We all know bananas are natural treats full of potassium and vitamins, but did you know that they can be used to treat common health problems? If you didn't, by the time you have finished reading this article, you will come to realize just how much of a super-fruit a banana really is.

1. Energy to the body

Bananas contain three different types of sugars: glucose, fructose and sucrose, combined with a highly respectable amount of fiber. Because of this, bananas are an excellent source of energy for the body. Studies have found that two bananas give us enough energy for 90 minutes of physical training, so it's no wonder that the best athletes in the world eat bananas regularly.

2. Overcoming depression

A recent study among patients with clinical depression found that many subjects reported an improvement in mood after eating bananas. The reason for this lies in a component called tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the body can not produce by itself, and through it, hormones such as melatonin, neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and other substances that contribute to body relaxation are produced. Tryptophan also reduces anxiety and depression, helps to prevent migraines, reduces the risk of developing symptoms of cardiovascular spasms, and, like the amino acid lysine, helps reduce cholesterol levels.

3. Relief of menstrual symptoms

Not only are bananas rich in tryptophan, but they also contain vitamin B6, which helps the body maintain balanced glucose levels in the blood. The effects of these two components contribute to calming the body and brain, improving moods, and relieving menstrual pain.

4. Power to the brain

The potassium and sugars in bananas have a positive and surprising effect on our brain's ability to remain concentrated and focused over time. Numerous experiments have been conducted over the years, where it was found that groups of students who ate a banana every morning were much more successful in their studies than those who did not.

5. An essential supplement for anemia sufferers

Bananas are rich in iron and can greatly contribute to the production of hemoglobin in the body, an essential part of the blood composition that carries oxygen around the body. Therefore, those who suffer from anemia, a low hemoglobin content in the blood, should eat bananas as often as possible. 

6. Balance blood pressure

Bananas contain a rare combination of high amounts of potassium and almost no salt, and are therefore perfect for treating high blood pressure. The ability of bananas in treating blood pressure problems is so great that the US Food and Drug Administration has allowed exporters of foods containing high amounts of potassium to advertise them as being able to help prevent stroke and high blood pressure.

7. Calming heartburn

Heartburn usually comes about due to eating too many fatty foods and drinking carbonated beverages. Eating bananas balances the acidity of the stomach, which will ease heartburn and, in some cases, even eliminate it completely.

8. Treats constipation

You may also sometimes suffer from this unpleasant problem, but the nutritional fibers in the banana will help you overcome it easily and quickly. A banana for breakfast every day will contribute to normal bowel movements without the need to take chemical laxatives.

9. Treats morning sickness

This is usually caused by a change in hormone levels in the body and low blood sugar levels. Eating bananas can help both of these problems, and generally, all of the nutrients it contains are beneficial to pregnant women.

10. Ointment for mosquito bites

Before applying synthetic lotions, squash some pieces of banana and apply it to the sting. Many people have discovered that doing this soothes the feeling of itching and reduces swelling.

11. A perfect diet snack

Many people who are overweight find that stress and tension make them crave sweet snacks and forbidden temptations. Bananas are an excellent substitute for chocolate and the sweet snacks we all like to indulge in, and it also gives us the energy we need to get past the hard hours after lunch.

12. Wart treatment

You can treat warts with only a banana peel and a band-aid or a small piece of tape. Attach the peel to the wart area, with the outer part of the peel facing outward and the inside placed on the wart, lightly tighten the bandage and leave it for a day.

13. A vital aid for quitting smoking

 If you are trying to quit smoking, there is no food that can help you more than the banana. B vitamins, magnesium and potassium help your body cope better with nicotine withdrawal symptoms and reduce your need for another cigarette.

14. Coping with stress

Our bodies use potassium to regulate heartbeats, send oxygen to the brain cells, and balance fluid levels in the body. These are all vital processes that help the body cope with stress. When your body does not have enough potassium in the bloodstream and you are under stress, your heart starts beating quickly, your brain has trouble making quick decisions, and your hands shake a little. Eating a banana will make sure none of that affects you.

11 Uses for Butter

Butter is an essential resource found in every kitchen. It's a necessary ingredient in many recipes, it aids cooking, and it enhances the flavor of many of our favorite foods. However, there are some unusual benefits of butter that you are surely missing. Surprisingly, butter is a brilliant solution to many of our household, food, and daily problems. Read this post to find out what else you can do with this multi-purpose dairy product.
Household Applications of Butter

1. Mask a Creaky Door
Have a noisy door in your house that is really getting on your nerves? Butter's got this covered, literally. Open a stick of butter and rub it onto the hinges of your creaky door, and say goodbye to the irritating sound.

2. Remove Ink from Plastic
We often stain plastic objects, then attempt to remove the stains by rubbing them with water and soap. That's the hard way. The easiest solution to this is found in your fridge. Grab some butter, rub it generously onto the ink-stained plastic, and let it soak. After 20-40 minutes, wipe off the butter and there you go - your plastic looks like new. 

3. Untangle Jewelry
The tangling of necklaces happens very easily, usually at the worst time, when your patience levels aren't sky-high. It seems like the more you try to untangle it, the worse it becomes. Instead of letting it get to you, remember our friend butter. Rub a small quantity of butter onto the entwined area and using a fork, work out the entanglement.

4. Get Rid of Watermarks from Wood
If you have stained your wooden furniture with condensation rings and don't know how to remove them - take this advice. Apply about a tablespoon of butter to the watermark, rub into the wood and leave it over-night. Wipe it off the following morning and you will see how the butter was able to replace the wood's lost moisture.

5. Slice Through Sticky Foods Easily
Isn't it annoying when you're cutting through a thick chocolate cake and by the time you get to the third piece your knife is full of sticky scraps? Next time you're slicing such food, remember to coat your knife with butter before you start. Just like that you'll avoid messiness and your knife will slice though food smoothly, making your slices nice and neat. 

6. Prolong the Freshness of Cheese
Like many other foods, cheese is difficult to keep from molding, especially in hot weather. No matter if you store it in cold temperature or not, mold will still find its way to your storage and grow on your vulnerable cheese. Prevent this from happening by covering the exposed portions of your cheese with butter, and it will form a protective seal that will keep it from getting moldy. 

7. Preserve Semi-Used Onions
Next time you store a partially-used onion, simply spread a bit of butter onto its moist surface and store it in foil. This will prolong the freshness of your onion for quite some time.

8. Aid in Swallowing Pills
If you often find it hard to swallow sizeable pills and capsules, make your life easier by coating them with a little butter and then swallowing them with a gulp of water. This will be enough for them to easily slide down your throat.

9. Maintain Dry or Brittle Nails
Suffering from dry nails that turn weak and brittle is a common occurrence, especially when exposed to moist conditions. Surprisingly, butter can treat the problem easily. Before you go to sleep, find a stick of butter, rub it onto each cuticle, leaving a little dab, and put on a pair of cotton gloves. Leave your nails to soak the proteins from the butter overnight and it will help them regain their strength, as well as prevent them from cracking in the future. 

10. Soften Your Hands
We've all suffered from dry and rough skin on our hands, especially during the cold season. Butter contains plenty of proteins and fats which can act as a natural moisturizer, so you can find a quick supply of that in your own kitchen. Apply some butter to your hands and rub it in, the same way you do with a regular moisturizer.

11. Nourish Your Hair
If you suffer from dry hair and are finding conditioners useless, you may want to try a more natural alternative to having healthy, moisturized hair. Although it sounds unusual, my advice would be to saturate your hair with a little butter. Its natural properties will help tame the frizz, while giving your hair some healthy shine and smoothness.
