 The banana

If the banana occupies the first place in various countries of the world, as excellent nutritious fruit, then in some of these countries it is considered a major food, as is the case in the West Indies, the Philippines and some coasts of Central America and Central Africa, so for the inhabitants of these countries, it is like wheat for us, and rice for the Chinese and Japanese people.

It is, therefore, excellent food, unanimously appreciated by all, whether those who eat it as a dessert fruit or those who eat it as main food.

The world has known about the benefits of bananas since the earliest times, and before man invented the tools of analysis and examination, in an old Asian book, which dates back to the year (303) BC .J.-C., A long hadith extolling bananas and noting its many benefits, and the sages of India adopted it - as Blaine said - to these benefits since AD ​​69 BC and to the names of ancestors, the "food of the philosophers", when they saw the wise men and the philosophers of India resorting to its trees, sheltering themselves with its leaves, and taking its sweet fruits as food for contemplation, isolation and l 'climbing. History teaches us that Napoleon Bonaparte preferred bananas to any other food during his exile on the island of Saint Helena.

However, bananas did not reach Europe until the end of the last century, as they were cultivated for a special climate and a certain atmosphere.

 The Arabs used to compare their fruit with fingers or bananas. When its cultivation moved to Spain and the West, the name of its fruits moved there too, and they called it "Banana".

 Bananas are a nutritious fruit rich in charcoal water that gives the body energy and warmth. These charcoal waters are made up of the starch present in raw bananas, so this type is indigestion of little sweetness. 

Studies and analyzes have proven that the percentage of sugar in bananas is not found in any other fruit, as it and the rest of its nutrients make it able to meet the basic human energy needs, so one hundred grams of fresh bananas give calories equivalent to the same calories that one hundred grams of meat give, In addition, the banana effect on strengthening and renewing tissues, including water, mineral salts and vitamins, for example, three bananas that you eat meet half of your need for calcium in one day, and the same applies to phosphorus and iron.

The banana fruit consists of a pulped mass devoid of liquid and juice. It is sugary in taste and has a special aromatic scent. In addition to the percentage of sugar that we have mentioned, bananas contain a proportion

3% of starch and tannins, with trace amounts of copper, iron, phosphorous, and fluorine, the latter being an anti-tooth decay.

In terms of vitamins, bananas contain vitamin C by no less than that of other fruits, so it is - then - an anti-pitting disease (scurvy) and a basic guard against crepe, and a tonic and anti-fatigue agent. It also contains vitamin (B), as it is - then - useful for people with rheumatism and neuritis, and it contains vitamin (A), which is useful for body growth, and vitamin (D) and (F).

 In general, bananas contain the following amounts of different substances: water 78.73%, sugar 16.96%, fiber 1.25%, protein 0,79%, fat 0,98%, acids 0,34%,

Dr Chardobert says the nutritional value of bananas is greater than the value of potatoes. And Dr Labh, head of the Paris Medical Laboratory, says in an article published by the press medical: The nutritional value of bananas is high, as soft bananas contain the same benefit for the same amount of meat, and very ripe bananas contain twice this percentage. And if bananas are considered at the forefront of excellent foods, then it is wrong to consider them as a complete food that the nutrition program is limited to, as is the case in the countries we mentioned, because the necessity to strike a balance between the different foodstuffs requires the use of various other foodstuffs to achieve the desired benefits. It has been conducted on some animals that being satisfied with bananas alone as food causes digestive disorders or poor blood, while we find that the mixed diet has a clear ability to repair, which appears to us clearly in red blood cells and haemoglobin. Therefore it is necessary to add other foods to Bananas contain fats and lime, such as milk, for example, as it is considered a complement to bananas, if it contains twelve times more lime than bananas, so that we can consider that a meal consisting of bread, bananas and milk contains all The elements necessary for human growth, providing him with the necessary heat capacity to sustain his life.

Bananas contain 400 mg of potassium per hundred grams, and thus it is used in the fight against excess sodium salts in the body, and this is considered a great benefit in reducing the load of the kidneys and in preventing the hardening of the kidneys and arteries. This is due to its benefit in resisting diarrhoea because it contains pectin.

 Banana and obesity.

Bananas are made of starchy materials that have been turned into sugar. In this respect, it is not suitable for men who complain of obesity and obesity, but there is a type of obesity that is suitable for bananas .. which is obesity called (spongy). Because the tissues are filled with water, here bananas provide the body with heat, and on the other hand, it combats the excess of salts and eliminates these cases similar to dropsy.

Bananas for everyone.

Bananas are used at all ages, so the old man takes from him heat and strength, and the child uses it to grow, and finds great pleasure in it, and the pregnant woman takes from it many mineral salts that keep her balance during her pregnancy, and the patient in the state of convalescence derives from it invaluable activity.

As for diabetics, they are not suitable for bananas, because they are rich in sugary substances. As well as those who complain of heartburn in their stomach.

As for those who complain of fatigue, or emaciation, and those who complain about their hearts and their kidneys (their kidneys), these are considered bananas as the best fruit and medicine for them.

 Finally, bananas contain phosphorous, which is an essential substance for intelligence and the basic component of every intellectual activity.

 It must be noted that there are some caveats for people with diseases, because the lack of fibres called "cellulose" usually present in vegetables - which helps to get rid of the seizures, makes us advise constipation people not to have a lot of bananas, and that it contains the starch that contains sugar makes us advise the injured. Diabetes by not eating it a lot.

The digestion of bananas, their assimilation and the benefit of them are not two basic conditions in which they are: to be fully ripe, and to chew well, and by this, we avoid all the caveats that some people may feel if their equipment is thin or their digestive system is not healthy. They can also crush one or two fruits and add two tablespoons of honey to it with one tablespoon of soft cream, then mix these materials and take it as a useful and tonic food.

Bananas can also be presented to children as "compote" or cooked with gelatin, which helps them strengthen their bones, develop their nails and teeth, and in Brazil they use banana nectar in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis.

In France, flour is made from it to make a special type of bread that is given to people with albuminuria, and in some western countries, it is eaten grilled or with butter at the end of meals.

However, it must be noted that a very important aspect in this way, which is that the choice of bananas that we eat may not be arbitrary, rather we must pay our attention because the bananas that bring full benefit to their eaters are the fully ripe bananas that have been ripened by radiation. The sun turns it into sugary substances naturally. Unfortunately for him, the bananas that we usually eat lack this feature, as they were picked from their trees raw, then transported to complete their ripening in the Fermented by industrial methods, by burning them on the fires of coal or gas. This case loses some of its characteristics.

In summary: Bananas are a valuable fruit, and we must make use of them to the maximum, so our tables are not devoid of them, especially since we can eat them throughout the year.
