Several   eastern   Caribbean   islands   have   been   hit   by   hurricanes   Irma,   Katia,   Maria   and   now   possibly   Jose.   With   each   storm   reaching (and   some   surpassing)   strong   Category   4’s,   devastating   winds   tore   homes   and   buildings   to   shreds,   leaving   behind   piles   of   rubble. Texas   has   been   donated   over   $100,000,000   to   help   with   rebuilding   after   Hurricane   Harvey.   Florida   also   being   promised   millions from   big   companies   like   Apple   and   Walmart   due   to   massive   flooding   and   other   damages.   Caribbean   towns,   however,   are   nearly receiving the same help.

It a well-known fact that bananas are one of the most consumed fruit on the planet. Yet, when this berry

begins to ripen and brown spots slowly appear, we typically think “Welp, can’t eat these anymore.”

Right before tossing them in the garbage……

Guess what?

Bananas are actually healthier (and much sweeter) browned, opposed to when at their green and yellower

stages.

Sounds wrong?

Well,  

that’s  

not  

to  

negate  

the  

wonderful  

benefits  

you  

gain  

by  

eating  

bananas  

in  

general.  

The  

berry  

  

produces  

an  

excellent  

source  

of

fiber,  

which  

aids  

in  

digestion.  

It  

contains  

Vitamin  

C  

as  

well  

as  

Vitamin  

B6  

(can  

contribute  

to  

sleep)  

and  

it  

is  

rich  

in  

potassium  

as  

well

as  

magnesium,  

two  

tremendous  

supporters  

in  

heart  

health,  

weight  

loss  

and  

the  

regulation  

of  

blood  

pre

ssure.  

So,  

don’t  

go  

trash

talking regular na

nners! 

They can even help the body fight depression…

Browned bananas assist in those departments just as much. However, the benefits of these overtly ripened

bananas extend to huge platforms. Like cancer. As antioxidant levels rise in as the banana ripens, and the

carbs are broken down into sugar, a substance known as TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) is produced. It’s

a cytokine (a cell signaling protein) that helps with cell to cell communication. This increases white

blood cells, and helps the body fight off unusual growths {i.e. cancer!}. This process is almost 8x more

effective when the banana has browned than when in their green stages (which can cause bloating due

to the high levels of starch produced at this time), and almost 3x more affective than when yellow.

The only downfall to all this ‘mushy’ talk is that once a banana’s starch levels are broken down into

sugar, it can cause potential dangers to a diabetic, whom should definitely consider their sugary intakes.

Overall, you’re surely doing the body wonders just by eating fruit and reading to enlighten yourself on

what you allow to enter the temple. So, whether or not you take the tip, you’re still doing the temple

justice. (Tip: Bake the browned banana to a dish of your liking. The affects are still there…) Just

remember: the darker the berry, the sweeter it’s nourishing juice.

Yup. Literally.
