Anemia: For people suffering from a deficiency in iron, bananas help to give

your body the iron that it needs. As a result, they help promote hemoglobin
production so your blood can clot faster in case of a cut or serious injury.

Good Fertilizer: Bananas can also benefit your garden. Instead of throwing
the peels away, banana peels are ideal fertilizer for gardens and soils. Rose
bushes benefit a great deal from the peels. If you have a certain plant that
you want to blossom, simply bury a few peels next to it by the roots. In a few
weeks, the plant will be huge. To keep the peel in place, you can wrap tape

around it for better results.

Strokes: According to research in “‘The New England Journal of Medicine”

eating banana as part of regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by
as much as 40%.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate
rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be balanced with the

help of a high potassium rich banana.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Studies at the Institute of psychology in Austria found pressure at work
leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at
5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese
were more likely to be in high pressure jobs. The
report concluded that, to avoid panic induced food

craving, we need to control our blood sugar levels
by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels
steady. Banana helps in it.

Warts: The outside of the banana peel also has healing and beneficial
properties for the human body. If you have a Wart on your foot, wrapping a
banana peel around your foot so that the exterior of the peel rubs against the
wart will help it go away in a matter of time.
