Banana for All Age Groups

Everybody knows the popular saying, “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away,” but banana is equally beneficial in one way or the other. A few years ago I saw the tennis player, Boris Baker eating banana after completing each set. Since I was just a school going kid, I did not know why he was eating banana every time he finishes his set. Now, I know the answer – banana provides instant energy because it contains carbohydrates, vitamins, fibers and micronutrients.

Last year I enrolled in a gym, and the trainer’s first reaction was – hey you are underweight and you need to put on weight. I sincerely asked him how to put on weight – he said, eat at least six bananas a day. It will not only help you put on weight, it will also provide enough energy to workout. The very next day, I bought six bananas and ate them all. I did not skip a day without eating bananas and soon I saw the difference in my body. I had put on weight and my muscles were quite visible as well. Well, this does not mean that banana will add flab in your body – if you eat two bananas a day, especially in your breakfast, you will feel fresh and energetic all through the day.

In addition, banana offers many health benefits. Banana is very good for people suffering from ulcer, constipation, anemia, and depression, to name but only a few. So, make a resolution to eat at least 2 bananas a day and feel the difference. 

The Best Way to Lose Weight

For the last few months, I was really busy with my work and could not take much care of my health, the result -- my waist size became 31 from 30 inches. My trousers size has become 31, and this is why, I don’t feel comfortable wearing them anymore. Well, it is definitely not a practical approach to buy new trousers and dump all the oldies, but it is absolutely a pragmatic approach to reduce one inch of my waistline.  I am taking the help of the Internet to find some good weight loss ideas; if you like those ideas then you can follow them as well. The basic formula to lose weight is to consume less calories and burn more, but is it as simple as it seems? Absolutely not, there are several factors associated with weight loss and you need to keep any eye on every subtle factor.

Breakfast: many people think that skipping morning meal can help shed some body fat, which is absolutely a wrong concept. Morning meal is very important to start body metabolism, so never skip the same, as it can drastically affect the whole body. 

Walking: We all just plan and never stick to them – it is said that if you follow a routine strictly for about 15 days continuously, it becomes a habit. Walking is also one of the best physical activities that requires a bit of passion and dedication from your side. I guarantee that if you start taking a walk for about 15 days, you will love it like anything.

Food: This is again one of the most crucial factors that need to be considered wisely. There are many food items that need to be discarded from your diet – say no to junk foods. In addition, do not eat foods containing high fat content such as chesses, butter, and milk products to name but only a few. It is somewhat difficult to stay away from these food items, but to gain something, comprising on something is not bad at all.

I assure you all that I will continue writing on the same topic in my coming blog post, so stay tuned.
