The expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Bananas contain three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose, combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy and can help us keep fit. Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
A banana is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. Bananas might be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!
