1. They contain three natural sugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose) which when combined with fiber, 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 (or a long walking tour of your favorite European city!)
2. 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. So, if you’re on vacation, we reckon you’ll be twice as relaxed and twice as happy.
3. Spending the day in museums soaking up all the knowledge your brain can hold? Grab a banana first! Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist in learning by making you more alert
4. No one talks about this but you know this is a common travel issue: constipation. High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
5. Too much partying last night? 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.
6. Have the spices of countries like Thailand, India, and Mexico caught up with you and are causing you heartburn? Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
7. Heading to the tropics? If your bug repellant fails and you do get bit, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
8. Nervous flyer? Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
9. Hopefully your trips abroad won’t stress you out but, if they do, grab this potassium-rich fruit. Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
