This is interesting. After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. 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.

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.

ANEMIA: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it 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 school ( England ) 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-packe d fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

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 chips. 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.

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.

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.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it 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 So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, ‘A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!’

I COMPLETELY AGREE

Damn it, I’m allergic to those awful little yellow beasts. Why do they have to be so good for you?!

“This a photograph taken from the teenager (shirtless guy) named Austin Schafer’s Twitter account, of a kid being tied up and beaten by upper classmen at Columbia High School in Nampa, Idaho.

This is a recent photograph and one where the school’s authorities have not taken action yet. Remember this kid’s name and repost this picture.

The Neanderthal trash who are bullying him deserve to have this picture plastered all over the Internet for prospective college admission offices to see so their career pinnacle can be asking me which kind of soup I want at Olive Garden.

If you’ve been a victim of bullying or know someone who has, please repost.”

Haven’t been on here since, oh, just before the wedding! Not much going on, these days. Moving out of Mom’s again, finally, and into a house with Hubby, Grandma and Bro-In-Law. Hope that won’t make me INSANE like I think it has the potential to. Jenny is going to be on her own, we shall see how long it takes before she is begging to live on our couch. HA. Not gonna happen. Still working for Robert…hours have been cut right now cuz it is slower than molasses over there, but I ain’t gonna complain, he gave me a full dollar increase just before Christmas, so it helps to make up for the lack of hours. Hubby is just the most wonderful person EVER, as usual. I am so happy he married me. ^_^ Engagement ring is finally back on my finger after 6 weeks of being out for repairs…come September, Hubby said he is going to replace my poor ring with some real diamonds that hopefully won’t fall out of their settings, like this beauty did. The original ring will then go into the jewelry box as a momento. Having some friend drama with Sabrina, but nothing that is gonna stop me from moving on with my life. Yeah, I do miss her, but she ended the friendship for silly, petty reasons, which makes me feel like the friendship was valued by her the same way, too. It really sucks, sometimes it really breaks my heart, but I won’t beg for someone to be my friend who was willing to throw it away over not being addressed “properly” at my wedding. Andrea has been my best friend nearly as long as I was best friends with Sabrina, and she is always around, too, so despite the problems we had in our past, we are stronger friends now because of the problems. Doesn’t seem like Sabrina can take the heat that tempers a friendship from time to time. Enough of that, I don’t like dwelling on crap for very long these days…my patience for dealing with silly bullshit stuffs is shorter than it ever was, and I seem to be able to let things roll off my back more easily, though I seem to be getting far more aggravated when it initially happens. I guess I’ve spent enough time with Robert that his ‘firecracker’ temperment is wearing off on me, too. ^_^ Not a bad thing, not at all.

Since Jan 1st, I’ve been on calorie restriction, finding out that I weigh and ungodly 226lbs now. It’s been going well, most of the time I can keep my daily calorie intake under 1600, mostly under 1500, not including the walking I do throughout the day. I’m shooting for 1250 calories, but I am finding that is very hard to achieve this early in the game. Some days I’m really good, keeping it right around 1300 calories, so far, my average seems to be around 1400. I have seen a slight change in my pants and how they fit, but nothing major. I’ve only weighed in once so far, so this Saturday, we shall see if I have tipped the scales in my favor, even just a little bit would be nice. This week has been very hard for me. I’ve been hungry and cranky and very irritable with Mom, especially. I don’t know why I am so hard on her sometimes, maybe it’s because she irritates me so often, maybe it’s just because she is my Mom, maybe because I talk to her EVERY freaking day on the phone and she asks me the same mundane questions “You off work now?” being how she initiates every conversation…yes, Mom, thus I am calling you…again…at 4:30pm. I am trying to stick to mostly produce. We are not drinking soda anymore (not like I really drank all that much of it to begin with), not eating fast food, and for the most part, anything fried or frozen. I’m trying to limit my bread intake, too, as well as dairy, and of course sweets are out of the question. I’m eating lots of salads, bananas, kiwis, edemame, apricots, nuts (I’m eating a trail mix that’s just nuts and seeds and raisins) and low calorie Subway sandwiches packed with veggies and trying to drink more water than I usually drink. It’s really hard right now, because all I wanna do is head down to Wing Stop and get 10 Original Hot wings and a side of fries…but I am sticking to my guns, telling myself no. As irritable as this has me this week, I am still proud of myself for making this change, and so far, sticking to it for 16 days straight. I gave up soda entirely in 2011, I can give up shit food in 2013 and get down to at least a size 14 again. I know I won’t see results in less than 3 weeks of eating better…I just hope I see something soon that will be my motivator for continuing on. :)

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:40:39 -0500

You assaulted a disabled person. Not just any person, though. You assaulted your disabled brother. What do you have to say for yourself?? “If you kick me out, you will lose me as your sister. I am talking no more contact.” Is that supposed to be a threat? It sounds like motivation to me!! Who would want someone around who has such entitlement issues? Who would want someone around who only wants everything and doesn’t feel like they need to be a contributing member? You have 5 things to do that ‘pay’ your rent: get your brother into his wheelchair every day, get your brother out of his wheelchair every day, get him onto and off of the bedpan, feed YOUR cat, feed the dog. You demanded that my husband buy more cat litter because you’re out, you bitched at him for not also feeding your cat, after feeding the dog…however you were home, so WHY, OH WHY, did HE need to feed YOUR cat?? So that is 2 out of 5 responsibilities that you are skipping out on. You do not get your brother into his wheelchair every day. I am not a religious person AT ALL, but may God in Heaven forbid there is a fire in that house on a day when you leave him stranded in his bed. Grandma will not leave him to burn alone, you will in essense murder both your brother and grandmother by neglecting to put him in that chair. That is 3 responsibilities you are skipping out on. When my husband comes over after work, you assign him the bedpan, and if he is in his chair, you assign that to him, as well…by leaving for the night. Let’s count…that is 5 of 5 responsibilities you are skipping out on constantly. WHY should he let you live there when HE is helping to pay the rent there??? You are a dispicable person, a disgrace to women everywhere, and the ugliest soul I have ever met. You are cruel through and through. You leaving my husband and his family alone would be the only positive action you’ve done…but even then, it’s a selfish act. I pray that you leave and leave this family in peace.

All the worthless people in my life, just go away already. If you can’t handle me being me, a little disagreement, or you not getting your way, then go the fuck away. Seriously. I do not need to waste another ounce of my precious life on you.

God, I hope I fit into my dress, still, this Thursday. I have a feeling like I’ve put on some weight since trying it on last. I just don’t want that ugly backfat roll. I think if Andrea can lace me in the right way, I won’t have anything to worry about. I just don’t want to look ugly on my big day with Gerard. It’s such a special day.
