Important Food Fact #1 -- Banana

Well I used to think bananas are just for monkeys or monkey-like people, I guess I am very wrong (if not completely) about it. You will never look at bananas the same way after knowing all the benefits you could get from eating it, it is a superb natural raw clean food one could easily get! Without further ado, here comes the long awaited list of benefits of bananas!

1. Bananas help overcome depression due to its high level of tryptophan, which is then converted into serotonin and that acts as the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter
2. Bananas prevent swelling and it aids weight loss, in other words, it is an essential ingredient to our daily diet
3. Bananas strengthen the nervous system and it helps with the production of white blood cells, credits to the high level of vitamin B-6
4. Bananas also act as a prebiotic, it stimulates the growth of friendly bacteria in the bowel and as a result, it assists our digestive system in absorbing nutrients
5. Bananas are also high in antioxidants so it basically prevents cancer and it improves our skin
