An old friend...

First and foremost let's clear up a rumor that has surfaced and been spreading around for a while now. The sugar in fruit does not cause weight gain, and thats factual. As I posted a while back, my morning's are spent grazing on different types of fruits in respect to the chart of fruit combining or natural hygiene. When I speak of raw foods in their god given state, that is directed towards fruits and vegetables which are haven't been cooked, heated or processed, and consumed in the true nature which they were given. Now let's discuss a close friend of mine who has been given a bad name over the years, and unrighteously so. The banana is abundant in sugars that convert to quick and sustainable energy. An excellent source of potassium which is crucial for kidney function and minimizes the excretion of calcium which leads to stronger bones. Men who are deficient in potassium and calcium are those who end up developing kidney stones over time. Bananas are a greeat source of vitamin B6 which ultimately is converted into energy, while having a calming effect on the brain. Bananas are best eaten around time of exercise or used as a healthy boost for that 3pm slump. I personally make it a point to utilize bananas ( usually 2 ) as my energy source as I'm out and about during the day. Remember when it comes to fruit or vegetables, variety is key. Eat up!
