Lets go Bananas!

Bananas are packed with great vitamins and minerals. Most people are of the opinion that this rich fruit is fattening, while some attribute its high fat to a combination derived when eating bananas with some ground nut. fact or myth?

Where ever you stand in this, it is important for you to know some amazing features of bananas.
In weight loss programs, finding food that would fit into your program can be very challenging but bananas make a perfect fit. They are naturally sweet and could help curb your sweet tooth if you get that afternoon sugar craving. A 6-inch banana has a minimal 90 calories, about 1/4 of the calories you would get from a chocolate candy bar. Additionally about half of the fiber content in bananas is soluble.

 When soluble fibers reach your digestive tract, it absorbs water and slows digestion. Food is forced to sit in your stomach for a while giving you that full feeling. Thus having a banana before a meal would sure help you cut down the amount of food to be consumed.

 Its fiber content would also help ease bowel movements. So for all those having an irregular bowel movement, you now have a cure.

 Bananas help improve your eye and heart health effectively. When it comes to skin and hair, bananas are usually an active ingredients in most efficacious household mixtures.

 Puree a peeled banana, 1/4 cup of olive oil, one egg white and some lemon in a blender for a couple of mins and let it stay on your hair for 15 mins,wash out with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. This improves your hair shine.
Do you want a soft hair texture? Use a mixture of some bananas with avocado pear and coconut milk. This pack conditions the hair and leaves it feeling soft and silky. 

 The anti-aging features of a banana is yet another reason why we love this fruit. For an anti-aging facial mask loaded with Vitamin A and E, mash an avocado pear with a banana. Leave on skin for like 25 mins and rinse off. Skin will be soft and youthful. The Vitamin E in the avocado pear when combined with the nutrients in banana help fight free radicals and repair damage.

 From its moisturizing capabilities of getting rid of cracked heels to its anti-aging properties, one should never go through a day without having a banana.

 Get into the practice of using bananas and make it a part of your daily diet and beauty routine. You will not only save some money but will also get beautiful skin and hair without exposing them to unwanted chemicals..
