There have been different kinds of banana which are known to be rich in potassium and other nutrients. But according to the Doctors of Ministry in Alternative Medicines or DMAM, Cardava banana has the highest nutrients present.
It is produced in the Philippines and in other Asian Countries. Usually, these have been eaten cooked. However, studies made by DMAM revealed that eating this cooked will alter its nutrients and become acidic in form, thus, eating raw is then preferred but make sure you eat the ripe ones.
Cardava has the highest content of nutrients because it has the deepest roots among other banana plants, of which can absorb more nutrients from the soil. No wonder their trunk is long and big so with their fruits.
Because bananas are rich in potassium, they help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain. This also helps maintain a regular heartbeat and a proper balance of water in the body. Potassium is also helpful for reducing strokes and regulating blood pressure because of the way it promotes circulatory health.
Their abundance of vitamins and minerals, are a great source of natural energy. Eating only two bananas will give you enough energy to exercise or workout for an hour and a half. Bananas are also ideal for eating during that midday lull when you feel tired and sluggish. Instead of drinking caffeine or having a sugary snack, bananas provide a level of energy that lasts longer without the dramatic crash caused by caffeine.
One of the banana health benefits is that they can help stop constipation because bananas have a certain type of fiber that helps to restore and maintain regular bowel functions. Instead of using laxatives that might have chemicals or other synthetic substances, bananas are a natural source for lessening the effects of constipation without causing other bowel problems such as diarrhea.
If you were partying at night and having hangover the next morning, the natural ingredients in bananas and their ability to replenish the body’s vitamins make them an ideal way to reduce the effects of a hangover. Put a couple bananas in the blender with some plain yogurt and add some honey to sweeten the taste. The fruit tends to calm the stomach and the honey helps to restore the blood sugar levels to normal.
Similarly, bananas can help people who are trying to quit smoking. The B vitamins and other minerals that they contain reduce the physical and psychological effects of nicotine withdrawal. These B vitamins, specifically vitamin B6 can also minimize menstrual pains and regulates over all moods of women. Because of their calming properties, pregnant women often eat bananas to combat their morning sickness. In addition, they also help to replenish the body and restore a healthy blood glucose level. In addition, they also help regulate a pregnant woman’s temperature.
As a way to prevent and treat ulcers, bananas help to reduce the acidity that some foods can leave in the stomach. They help reduce the irritation of the digestive system by leaving a protective coating around the inner walls, making it a natural way to promote intestinal health as well. Since they help to neutralize acidity, they are also a great way to get rid of heartburn. They act as a natural antacid and they quickly soothe the burn.
.
Instead of eating an apple each day for optimum health, the adage should state that a banana each day keeps the doctor away. The banana health benefits far outweigh those of the apple because it has many more vitamins and nutrients than their round counterparts.

Coconut Fruit-Tree of Life
Known as “the tree of life”, the wonderful fruit of the coconut palm is rich in specific fats that have incredible health benefits. Its meat, juice and oil are popular all over the world due to its delicious taste and abundance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Coconut meat contains lauric acid, which helps fight bacteria from intestinal parasites and wards off countless infections ranging from HIV to the common cold. Coconut water helps the kidney and bladder maintain proper functioning. Eating coconut helps fight gas, constipation, ulcers, and other digestive and stomach ailments. Coconut also supports thyroid function and can help prevent goiter (an enlarged thyroid) because it naturally contains iodine. Coconut has even been shown to protect the body from cancer and osteoporosis, dissolve kidney stones, reduce epileptic seizures, and reduce symptoms associated with pancreatic disorders.
Coconut oil (and all saturated fats) has been blamed for many years as a cause of bad cholesterol levels, which supposedly leads to heart disease. But studies done on traditional tropical populations that consume large amounts of coconut oil show just the opposite. One of the best ways to study the affects of coconut oil on human nutrition is to look at tropical populations that get most of their caloric intake from the saturated fat of coconut oil. Logic would dictate that if the saturated fat/cholesterol theory of heart disease and obesity were correct, those populations with the highest consumption of saturated fats would be the most overweight and have the highest rates of heart disease.
Coconut water contains vitamins, nutrients, sugars, minerals and salts. It’s also free cholesterol, fat free and is naturally low in calories. It is suitable for all ages. So why not drink the coconut water instead of throwing it. Below are some reasons why we should consume coconut water:
1.Coconut water has more nutrients than the whole milk because it has no cholesterol, low fat, low in carbohydrates and low in natural occurring sugar.
2.Coconut water has a natural balance of potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium.
That is the reason why it is a healthy electrolyte drink. Potassium can help our body to regulate the blood pressure and heart function. Coconut water can stabilize electrolytes in the body.
3.Coconut water can normalize digestive system, because it contains a certain kind of acid. The coconuts are also used to raise metabolism by helping to prevent intestinal gas, helps in removing toxins and increases the digestive system’s ability to absorb nutrients. Coconut water balances acid levels and flushes toxins out.
4.Coconut water heals damage induced by antibiotics and toxins in the digestive system. People know those coconuts are anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Coconut water enhances antibody and fights virus that may cause disease.
5.For people who suffers urethral stone kidney, it is very good to drink coconut water regularly since it will help to destroy the stone in the kidney and help them to out from the body.
6.Coconut water also helps people who have difficulty to urinate. A glass of coconut water will heal the pain because of difficulty eliminating urine.
7.If you feel drank, a glass of coconut water can help you to recover soon.
8.For menopausal women, calming and cooling benefits of coconut water relieves burning sensations and hot flashes thus restores emotional stability.
9.Since coconut water regulates the functioning of the intestine, it will promote smoother and prettier skin for the user.
