Bananas Saved My Mom In World War II

Hello gtargirl. I am glad to know that bananas saved your mom during those hard years in World War II. I also like bananas, but I can not often consume them because of too much acid in my stomach. In fact, I have not had bananas for a long time though I miss them sometimes.

Bananas contain potassium which is essential to our health and prevents leg cramps at night. when I have bananas in myhome I always eat one every day to prevent those miserable leg cramps at night. the leg cramps are due to lack of enough potassium and the bananas provide that potassium in enough quantity to prevent those cramps and the awful pain associated with the cramps.

when i was a kid and had a stomach virus or any other intestinal distress, we stuck to the BRAT diet....Bananas,Rice,Apples, and Tea. also bananas are high in potassium, so they are good to eat if you have high blood pressure, and if you are an athlete to combat muscle aches.

Wow, what a story, that is wonderful that the merchants had risked their lives for your family.. As for medicinal purposes, I only know that bananas are good for you..But I do have a health and beauty tip for bananas, if that counts: Banana mask Ingredients: 1 ripe banana 1 tablespoon rose water Method: Mash banana and add in rose water. Application: Apply as often as you can. Wash with lukewarm water after 30 minutes. If used regularly it gives your skin a firm texture.

Thank you for including the link to your blog. I read them and they are just amazing. Your Grandma was a blessing. Thank you for sharing her story.

wow is all I can say! this is such an amazing story. So basically bannanas can help with a upset tummy. What a wonderful woman. God bless your grandmother ,how brave she was!. How long were they POWS?

Wow, I don't know any medicinal uses for bananas. However, as a historian, I urge you to write down this story and all the others related to your family being POWs. They need to be preserved for future generations.

The many minerals in bananas make them healthful in many ways. They are known for having potassium, and they also have magnesium. They benefit the heart, and they support the contraction of smooth muscles, both voluntary and involuntary. They help ease charley horses for my husband, for instance. Bananas for many people help stop diarrhea, they are part of the classic "BRATT" diet for people who are recovering from stomach distress.

oh my what a wonderful story, I am sure you can make a longer story from this and sell it for money. It is just so precious. Your grandmother was a wonderful woman, an earth angel. What happened to her?

I do know they are full of patasiunm and wtg to go grand ma good for her

what a great story! perhaps a book of such times would be a success. I did not know this about bananas, using it with peel and white fibre... though I did know they are useful with diarrhea I thought they just served to bind up the *stuff* bananas are full vitamin K / potassium and great for the heart.

Thanks for sharing your story about your grandmother how she risked her life to purchase bananas. I've also heard that they are good for people who are depressed and also good for energy as well.

You're right. Banana truly is a wonder fruit. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. 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. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. So maybe it's time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

wow i didn't know a banana could be used so helpfully

God's creation is wonderful, isn't it??? not only bananas have so many uses, coconuts too... i used to learn when i am in primary school that every part of the coconut can be used for something and it is very true... i never stop being amazed of God's creation... it is just so amazing and wonderful... we as the human beings are the highest creation of God and we should be much better than God's other creation... do you agree???

Wow! Your grandma was really great. I know banana have a lot of health benefits. One of the benefits is for people who has a lot of gas in their stomach or ulcer, eat half ripe banana before meal. It will reduces the gas and treat the ulcer.
