1. The efficacy and function of bananas

(1) Prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers

Patients with gastrointestinal ulcers often take phenylbutazone, which often causes stomach bleeding. Bananas, on the other hand, contain a chemical that can prevent stomach ulcers, which stimulates the growth and reproduction of gastric mucosal cells, producing more mucosa to protect the stomach.

(2) Lose weight

Because bananas are high in starch, they are easy to fill up, and it takes some time for starch to be converted into sugars in the body, so it does not produce too much energy (energy food) accumulation. From this point of view, bananas can be used as the first choice for weight loss.

(3) Hangover

60 grams of banana peel boiled water drink, clear the leader. Special reminder: Patients with banana cold, spleen and stomach deficiency, stomach pain and diarrhea should use sparingly. Bananas contain a large amount of magnesium, and eating more can increase the magnesium content in the blood, which has an inhibitory effect on the human cardiovascular system, which can cause obvious muscle paralysis and symptoms of drowsiness and fatigue. Medical experts believe that drivers should not eat bananas on an empty stomach.

(4) Beauty lightening spots

Banana mask method: half a banana, mash the mud and add an appropriate amount of milk, mix it into a paste, and apply it to the face. Leave for 15~20 minutes and rinse off. It refreshes and lubricates the skin, removes sores on the face, and lightens freckles.

(5) Treatment of depression

Bananas contain a substance that helps the human brain produce serotonin, which makes people feel happy and cheerful. Patients suffering from depression can usually eat more bananas to reduce low mood, so that pessimism, disappointment, and misanthropy and irritability gradually dissipate.

2. Alternative ways to eat bananas

(1) Banana popsicles

Use a very sweet banana that's ripe, cut into sections, stick a toothpick in it, and freeze it in the refrigerator.

(2) Candy bananas

Peel the fragrant burnt, cut into small sections, cut the banana segment in the wonton skin, wrap it until the end of the side with a little water, twist it a few times like candy paper, wrap it all in the pot and put oil to 180 degrees, put in the banana to fry, when the skin is slightly yellow, take out the drain and put it on the plate.

(3) Grilled toast with banana butter

3. There are 4 taboos for eating bananas

1. Unripe bananas are easy to cause constipationEveryone knows that when the banana is not ripe, the skin is green, peel off the skin, and it is so astringent that it cannot be swallowed. The ripe banana, with its astringency swept away, is soft and glutinous and sweet, and is deeply loved by children and the elderly. Bananas are tropical and subtropical fruits, and in order to facilitate preservation and transportation, when picking bananas, they should not wait for them to ripen, but when the banana peel is green, they must be picked and put into storage.

The bananas we eat in the north are ripe and ripe. The astringency of raw bananas comes from the high amount of tannic acid contained in bananas. When the banana is ripe, the astringency is no longer tasted, but the tannin component is still there.Tannic acid has a very strong astringent effect and can form stool into dry and hard stool, which can cause constipation. The most typical is that after the elderly and children have eaten bananas, instead of helping to defecate, they can have obvious constipation.

2. Excessive consumption of bananas can cause imbalance in the proportion of trace elements

Bananas are a delicious fruit, so some people eat bananas in large quantities at a time. As everyone knows, this is very bad for your health. Bananas contain more magnesium, potassium and other elements, although these mineral elements are necessary for human health, but if you take too much in a short period of time, it will cause a sharp increase in the content of magnesium and potassium in the blood, resulting in an imbalance in the proportion of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and other elements in the body, which is harmful to health. In addition, eating more bananas can also cause gastrointestinal disorders and excessive mood swings due to a greatly reduced gastric acid secretion. Therefore, bananas should not be consumed in excess.

3. Bananas should not be refrigerated in the refrigerator

As we all know, bananas are picked when they are six or seven ripe, because they ripen quickly, and if they are picked when they are ripe, they will not taste good and do not look fresh. After the banana is picked, the temperature requirement for storage is also higher, generally 11-13 degrees Celsius, while the storage of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator is generally about 4 degrees Celsius, and the maximum is 8 degrees Celsius. If bananas are placed in this environment, they are easy to be frozen and spoiled, and they will turn black after a day, and the quality will become soft and rotten, and the taste will also deteriorate, and even plaques or rot.

4. Avoid eating bananas on an empty stomach

We say that bananas can be used as food, but they should not be eaten in large quantities on an empty stomach.Because bananas contain a lot of potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, for normal people, a large intake of potassium and magnesium can make the sodium and calcium in the body out of balance, which is not good for health. Therefore, do not eat too many bananas on an empty stomach.

4. Dietary principles for gastric ulcers

1. Eat small, frequent meals to avoid being too full or hungry

If a patient with a gastric ulcer eats too much, the antrum will be over-dilated, and the stomach acid will increase, aggravating the disease, and vice versa. Therefore, according to the individual's condition and conditions, in addition to three meals a day, you can add 2-3 times of cakes or dried steamed bread with less sugar, especially more baked steamed bread. Because after the dried steamed bread is baked, almost all the water evaporates, and the starch in the steamed bread also becomes easily digestible dextrin, which can be neutralized by entering the stomach after being fully chewed by the mouth, and reducing the irritation and corrosive effect of gastric acid on the ulcer, which can not only reduce or eliminate the pain, but also help the healing of the ulcer surface.

2. Eat foods that are easy to digest and contain enough calories, proteins, and vitamins

Such as porridge, thin noodles, milk, soft rice, soy milk, vegetable leaves, etc. Patients whose symptoms have basically disappeared can eat normally, but they should still avoid eating fried foods and celery, leeks, bean sprouts, ham, bacon, dried fish, etc., which contain a lot of refined fiber. At the same time, you should not eat raw, cold and hard food, especially not overheated food, so as not to dilate blood vessels and cause stomach bleeding.

3. Patients with gastric ulcers should eat more residue-free food

In order to avoid dry stools, you also need to eat some foods that can moisten the intestines, such as agar, bananas, and bee dense.

4. It is forbidden to eat all excessively sour and sweet foods that are irritating to the ulcer surface

Such as chili, green onion, raw garlic, concentrated fruit sweat coffee, wine, strong tea, etc. In addition, patients with gastric ulcer decoction should also quit smoking, because the nicotine in tobacco can change the pH of gastric juice, disrupt the normal activities of gastric pylorus, and induce or aggravate ulcer disease.

Diet can not be completed overnight, what is needed is long-term persistence, as long as patience is enough, I believe that a good stomach will be slowly recuperated.
