These 25 ways to use and eat bananas will blow your mind
1.   Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin -- the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.
2.   Eat two bananas before a strenuous workout to pack an energy punch and sustain your blood sugar.

7.   Strengthen your blood and relieve anemia with the added iron from bananas.
8.   High in potassium and low in salt, bananas are officially recognized by the FDA as being able to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke.
Eating Bananas For Digestion
9.   Rich in pectin, bananas aid digestion and gently chelate toxins and heavy metals from the body.

15.   Eating bananas will help prevent kidney cancer, protects the eyes against macular degeneration and builds strong bones by increasing calcium absorption.
16.   Bananas make you smarter and help with learning by making you more alert. Eat a banana before an exam to benefit from the high levels of potassium.

20.   Control blood sugar and avoid binging between meals by eating a banana.
21.   Eating a banana can lower the body temperature and cool you during a fever or on a hot day.
22.   The natural mood-enhancer tryptophan helps to relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
23.   Quitting smoking? Bananas contain high levels of B-vitamins as well as potassium and magnesium to speed recovery from the effects of withdrawal.
24.   Remove a wart by placing the inside of a piece of banana peel against the wart and taping it in place.

I love bananas ate them all the time and I do love them in my cereal’s to been doing that for years also

[judylucas]

I like them on my cereal and I have used them when I have acid reflux and they work and when they get soft they go into yummy banana bread

[catchow]

I love them, but they give me heartburn and I burp for over an hour with banana flavored burps

[mardukblood2009]

I use to eat banana's a lot but the last times I ate them, I got such heart burn so I am just staying away from them now.

[darkxtsuna]

I can only handle to eat a few bananas a day if I eat too much I get heartburn that I hate.

[timvolley]

im glad you are going to try again i understand when you get sick from something it is hard to go back to it no matter what it is.

I am a fan of banana and peanut butter. LOVE IT!! I guess that if you are not fond of banana, you can find another source for your potassium.  I am sure that there are many others.

[lisah0410]

I love bananas, they are great with peanut butter and marshmellow cream yum!

[ktheodos]

I know bananas are important to our diet, potassium but one day I ate a banana and got sick! I think it was just too rich but I never ate another one since. When I was younger my grandma used to put them in my cereal and I hated it so I hda to train myself as an adult to eat them and now I don't like them anymore. Makes sense? 

I could understand but I think you should try eating them again - they're so good for you that you shouldn't let past experiences prevent you from trying them again....just my 2 cents...

[plennis]

I love bananas but I have a grandson who is allergic.  I thought that was weird since it is one of the things they have you start babies on.

[ghunter]

I have that same problem.  When I was younger I eat a bananas and it make me sick, so as I got older I wanted to give it another try and the same thing happen and It was years before I tried it again so if it make you sick them it will make you sick again.  I won't if I were you.
