Amazing Banana

Did you know that bananas can make you happier?



Bananas are a versatile, sweet, tasty and healthy snack. They can help you keep fit as well as help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions.Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. 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.

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.

ANAEMIA
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
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-packed 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!’

And don’t you forget that you can make your shoes shine, wiping them with the inside of banana.

The Secret Behind The mouth-Watering Maggi

What actually is Maggi?

Maggi is an international brand of instant soups, stocks, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles. Owned by Nestlé since 1947, the original company was founded in Switzerland in 1872 by Julius Maggi.

Now, In this cases, we are talking about Maggie noodles , a brand of instant noodles manufactured by Nestlé. The brand is popular in Australia, South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand, Brunei, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Fiji and the Philippines. Meanwhile in India and Malaysia, Maggi instant noodles are very popular; Nestle have 39% of the market in Malaysia, where "Maggi" is synonymous with instant noodles; and a 60% share in India where it was the first instant noodle brand. In Malaysia, fried noodles made from maggi noodles are called Maggi goreng

Maggie mee is advertised as 2 minute noodles since 1982.It was said to be 'No MSG', 'Less Salt', and 'No Trans fat' to cater the health conscious. In mid-2008, New Zealand supermarkets introduced replacement formulations for its beef, oriental, and curry flavours. A new feature is an extra sachet containing dehydrated vegetables. Maggi claims the new range contains 88% less total fat and 86% less saturated fat than the average of top-three (unnamed) 2-minute-noodle competitors. The new Maggi range also has considerably lower fat than its own previous formulation. However, the salt content has been increased by 31 percent.

Did you know?

One serving (1 block or 100 grams) of noodles contains 1170 mg. of sodium aka salt, almost half of the USDA 2400 mg maximum.

Most of the salt would be in the seasoning packet, but the noodles probably contain some salt also.

The noodles provide 10% of your daily calcium and 12% of your daily iron requirement. Other than that the Maggi brand noodles have no nutritional benefit.

If you want to eat maggi, 

Then here’s a correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health: 

Normally, we put the instant noodles is to put into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat By doing this every day , we will save a great time and will also might end as a dead person. when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structure of the MSG, causing it to be toxic. Also the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have eaten the noodles.

So, To prevent it, you should cook it on the correct way.

First,Boil the noodles in a pot of water. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax. Then boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot boiling water and then turn off the stove. Only at this stage when the stove is off, and while the water is very hot, add the flavoring powder into the water, to make noodle soup. However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the flavoring powder and toss it to get dry noodles. 

A Piece of Note: 

Only a some amount of it was washed and removed during cooking. The removed layer of coating solidified after cooled and it did not turn bad after being left overnight.

So even if the coating is not wax, it is true that it will not give us any health benefits. Most probably that is the reason of obesity and weight gaining. No matter how you cook, you will not be able to remove the coating totally.

The best way is eat less, or stop eating instant noodles.

Extra:

A large number of patients with ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles. If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous.
