Health Zeal - THE COLOR OF LIFE

Benefit by eating a banana a day

February 6th 2010 05:16
Bananas are a great way to fuel your body before or after a workout. They contain natural sugars for sustained energy, plus a satisfying amount of fiber. They’re rich in vitamin B6, which regulates blood glucose levels and keeps your mood at an even keel. They’re also a good source of potassium, which helps to enhance alertness, prevent muscle fatigue, and control high blood pressure.
Bananas are rich in tryptophan, the amino acid that helps your body make serotonin, the neurotransmitter associated with relief from depression, anxiety and sleep disorders.
Many pregnant women find that snacking on bananas can relieve morning sickness. Bananas can also soothe heartburn, and they taste a lot better than most antacids.

Ginger tea for digestion

January 14th 2010 06:11
Ginger tea is usually used to help digestion and relieve nausea but it can be used to boost the immune system and ward off colds, sore throat and the flu. Ginger tea bags are available in health food stores but if you want to make it from scratch, it’s easy to make. Just heat four cups of water in a sauce pan. While it is heating, peel a two-inch piece of fresh ginger root and cut it into thin slices. Once the water boils, add the ginger, cover it with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. After it has simmered strain it and it is ready to drink. You may add honey and lemon to suit your taste but know that ingesting sugar depresses the immune system. Artificial sweeteners are not recommended.
