I recieved a random forward email yesterday about, of all things, bananas. Now, while I've been an avid, daily banana-eater since grade 5, I was alarmed at some of the things that this powerful fruit can do. And here I thought they were just good for comic relief in Warner Bros. Cartoons.
maybe Warhol was on to something unfallic...
Not only can they support political and economically unstable Central American countries, but there are some 45, 308 banana bread recipes. They're a healthy, sustainable foodstuff for dictators and moms everywhere! Awesome!
Among some of the mighty banana's super powers:
- They're an anti-depressent
- A high source of potassium, B6, and B3
- Good for hangovers (my post-puking nutrition has almost always consisted of some combination of bananas and peanut butter on toast)
- Can help you quit smoking (is it the oral fixation?)
- They've been used to support building sub-structures
- Are good for a quiet night in, alone
And apparently a lone banana saved the Earth from a Texas-sized asteroid on course to our collective doom. Wicked!
