Bananas and Depression

The effect of winter on mood and the potential benefits of bananas as a mild anti-depressant are just two of the areas being considered for further study by Southern Cross University (SCU) Psychology lecturer, Dr Allen Lansdowne. There is a photochemical in bananas that actually puts you in a better mood.

Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia. The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy. They are also easy to digest.

Improving your Skin
Obviously, you should wash your skin everyday, but the most important factor is what you eat. Nutrient rich foods, high in anti-oxidants, and omega-3 dramatically improve your skin. Also, lots and lots of water will improve your skin, as will getting adequate high quality protein.

I masturbate daily! Sometimes twice a day. When I go out to California, Muse better hope her guest bedroom sheets don't stain easily!

i started taking salmon oil pills about a year ago and the improvement in my skin and hair has been amazing!

so forget about cod oil, it's all about the salmon!
