Go Bananas for Bananas!

In the last post, I posted about the ten foods that are good for our heart, and also a meal plan that can help you lose weight. In both posts, you can see that fruits and vegetables have important parts in a healthy meal plan for their many benefits. Out of the many choices of fruits, I just love bananas :D In a tropical country like Indonesia or Malaysia, it's easy to find them, and it also has many nutrition that are good for our body :)

Bananas help our body store calcium, nitrogen, and phosphor, which are good for our tissue recovery and regeneration. Bananas are also rich in essentials vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and also potassium, magnesium, phosphor, and calcium.

One of the most important benefit of bananas is to fight and cure digestive disease, such as ulcer. Bananas can neutralize the gastric acid by coating the gastric surfaces, thus making bananas a "safe" fruit for people with ulcers. Other medical benefits of bananas are to cure constipation, diarrhea, rheumatoid, and also anemia.

Aside from that, bananas can also be used to treat burns and other kinds of wound. You just pound ripe bananas until they're soft, and spread it into the burn or wound to ease the pain. After that, wrap the wound with a fabric bandage. Banana leaves can also be used as a cooler compress for burns or any kinds of wound.

So, get ready to get bananas with some bananas?
