Bananas : The Super Food

Banana's stimulate the immune system to produce various agents, including  the magical substance TNF. 

According to Japanese Scientific Research, full ripe banana with dark patches on yellow skin produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells.

The more darker patches it has the higher will be its immunity enhancement quality; Hence, the riper the banana the better the anti-cancer quality. Yellow skin banana with dark spots on it is 8x more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than green skin version.

Eating 1-2 banana/s a day increases immunity.

These are loaded with the good stuff and I grew these organic banana's


One medium-sized (around 126 grams) banana contains:
  • Vitamin B6 (.5 mg)
  • Manganese (.3 mg)
  • Vitamin C (9 mg)
  • Potassium (450 mg)
  • Dietary Fiber (3g)
  • Protein (1 g)
  • Magnesium (34 mg)
  • Folate (25.0 mcg)
  • Riboflavin (.1 mg)
  • Niacin (.8 mg)
  • Vitamin A (81 IU)
  • Iron (.3 mg)
The reason potassium is singled-out among all the other things in the banana is because that 450 mg of potassium in a single banana is actually more than 10% (more precisely, around 13%) of the adult human body's minimum daily requirement of potassium. It's unusual (though not unheard of, of course) for a single serving of any fruit to provide quite so much of any one nutrient like that. Nutritionists, then, sometime refer to a banana as a "super fruit," because of its inordinate provision of so much of the minimum daily adult requirement of the single nutrient potassium.

Hoax or Fact?  Fact!
Please pass on and share and stay healthy.
