BANANA'S CAN MAKE YOU SMARTER!!!

Here are amazing things you should know about bananas.

Mental Alertness
Studies have shown that 3 servings of banana daily can aid in learning by making students more alert.
Students should snack more on bananas than on soft drinks and biscuits.

Heartburns and Ulcers
This are very uncomfortable conditions many people suffer from.
Bananas have natural antacids that help soothe the pain of heartburns and stomach ulcers.

Stress
Pressure at work or school leads most to high intake of fatty and processed foods like pies, noodles, chips, fries and chocolate. These foods lead to obesity and its related problems like hypertension, diabetes and cancer. Snacking on bananas helps avoid this

Blood Pressure
Bananas are rich in potassium and low in salt. This combination makes it good for blood pressure control.

Morning Sickness
This is the nauseous feeling experienced by some women in the first trimester (3 months) of pregnancy. Snacking on bananas between meals regulates blood sugar to avoid morning sickness.

Did you know?
A banana has 4 times the protein in an apple. It also has 3 times the phosphorus, 5 times the vitamin A and 2 times the carbohydrates in an apple.

Little wonder monkeys are quick, agile and alert. They love bananas. Lol

'A banana or more a day makes a lot of sense'!

Meet the world's largest family - with 181 members

Ziona Chana hasa has 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law and 33 grandchildren. They all live with him in his hotel-like 100-room, four-story house perched among the hills of Baktwang village in the Indian state of Mizoram.

One year, he married ten wives. Two of them sisters. His 39 wives say they are blessed to have him and take turns to share his bed.




It takes 30 whole chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice to make dinner for this family.

The family is organised with almost military discipline, with the oldest wife Zathiangi organising her fellow partners to perform household chores such as cleaning, washing and preparing meals.

Coincidentally, Mr Chana is said to head a sect that allows members to take as many wives as they want.

Rinkmini, one of Mr Chana's wives who is now 38 years old, said:
'We stay around him as he is the most important person in the house. He is the most handsome person in the village.

As at 2011, he said he was looking at marrying new wives to expand his family.
