not much to add just this a peanut butter and sliced banana sandwich is very good and it gives you the missing protein!
Hey SassyLassie thank you for the information about banana. I never used to eat banana. But now it became part of my diet and i could see the change. Thanks. Nice information.
Own opinion is, too much sugar for just before bed. But each to their own.
Eating a banana before you go to bed helps you to sleep well too. The only thing I find, though its fiber, anymore than one will keep me from going to the bathroom. And so for that reason I have to limit myself to not eating them as often as I would like.
No, not raw, that's illegal in the US unless you buy it direct from certain certified dairy farms. Homogenization is mixing the milk and cream together; unhomogenized is not mixing them together, so the cream stays on top. Usually if you buy goat milk, which is closer to human milk anyway, you'll find it unhomogenized. It's hard to find; here, there's a company in Pennsylvania that sells it in glass bottles like the old days and you return them for deposit, but with Whole Foods having driven out the small health food stores it's hard to find now.
Well, after all this banana talk and apple talk, I am going to go to the store today and get both. It is high time I start eating more fruit, and I love them both.
I wish I could find milk that way, you are talking about "raw milk" right? I had it one time only, and it was wonderful.
LOL, oh yes, Paxil I remember that song now, I had forgotten. He He.
well after this article you kindly put up for us good habits are going on in my house we are now munching on 2 bananas a day ...even the name sounds like fun..and isnt it wonderful food for invalids and children who are picky eaters ....
Well, you can't really smoke it. It was a joke song by Donovan, remember? Mellow Yellow? Just making fun of the Sixties drug culture. And the best milk is not only whole milk, but unhomogenized whole milk with the cream on top. It separates the fat from the milk so not so much cholesterol is absorbed. Of course, I don't recommend dairy for adult humans, but if you're going to drink it, I say go for the whole thing. Personally, I'm a big banana person -- eat one every other day, an apple in the days between. I'm an equal opportunity apple banana guy.
Except for the extra calories, Margy, I don't think you can over dose on eating them.
LOL, no need to knock off the cream, I use it, and actually, if eaten in moderation, no problem with it, I hate skim milk, it tastes awful and to me, is devoid of nutrients. I drink whole and proud of it, LOL.
He He, have fun with the bananas.
Paxil, I received this article in an e-mail, so I don't know who wrote it, but, I felt it was interesting to pass along, a person can always find some good out of things like this. :-) LOL, I did not know you could smoke a banana!!
Oh boy you are a fund of knowledge ...I am going out and buy a 'bunch 'of bananas can you overdo it by eating too many...I like em fried with honey and cream...okay okay well knock off the cream...... I make a few chicken curries and we slice up bananas on top..oh boy got to tell the husband to use it for his shoes,if he gets a wart dont forget the Banana.....seriously they are truly a super food , we used to eat a lot but recently have only had a couple a week. got to up the anti.....
The reasons athletes eat bananas is because they contain less acid than most fruits -- hard to exercise with a lot of gas bubbling up! The tryptophan in bananas is miniscule, otherwise you'd get tired after eating one. Compare the tiredness that follows drinking milk or eating cheese or turkey, which are very high in tryptophan, to eating a banana. It is also quite low in protein, so while it has a little, it has very little. And don't knock apples -- they contain quercitin, more useful fiber than bananas, more other bioflavanoids, in fact all kinds of useful stuff. Both, in other words, are important foods, but both, like all fruit, should be eaten in moderation due to the high sugar content. But all in all, a great contribution here -- and you forgot you can smoke it, too (boy, that dates me, doesn't it?).
