A Few Banana Facts

We want to empower you

We want to empower you with FACTS so that you will eat bananas for the right reasons, and there are many great reasons to do so, and we introduce you to the real and powerful benefits bananas can help you with in your daily life.

We have also included a few "fun" ideas for After School Snacks for your kids which can just as easily become after dinner desert ideas as well.

Potassium

In this Banana Facts section, we hope to clear up some misconceptions about bananas - such as the over exagerated Potassium levels.

Yes bananas do have Potassium but the statistical amount "was measured in Kilograms and not Per Banana. This essentially means that not just 1 banana was measured but many different bananas which produced a "median average".

Another "wobbly lie" people repeat blindly is that since Bananas have Tryptophan in them so they automatically improve your moods? Obviously the person who wrote this had no understanding of the Blood Brain Barrier or how the body works.

Prebiotics?

Did you know that Bananas are one of the top 10 Prebiotics (yes PRE Biotics) and that this is extremely powerful especially for children studying at school?

Bananas also have a "Low GI", so a banana smoothie in the morning can literally last you through a better part of your day especially if taken with some active yoghurt like Kefir and 2 poached eggs on toast. (poached and not fried)

Eating a "half green banana" before your evening meal often helps people who have acid reflux problems. BTW, another way to fix acid reflux is to add at least 1/4 teaspoon of SEA Salt to your cooked meals daily. (source Mercola.com)

Bananas are one of the most versatile food items you can eat. You can pack them in your bag as they are, with no need for wrapping or cooking and they are a delicious ready-to-eat meal when you need one.

And so much more ...

And the best part is that they are so affordable.
