There are dozens of books written about how to increase you happiness, probably hundreds of different blogs all promising you the secrets to the keys of happiness, and thousands of articles written on this topic. Since the positive psychology movement got started a while back, it’s been going bananas. And why wouldn’t it? Who wouldn’t like to learn some “secrets” to unlocking their inner happiness? Happier people tend to live longer, live healthier lives, make more money and do better at work. It’s a chicken and egg problem, though. Does happiness bring those kinds of things, or do those kinds of things lead us to be happier? While we may not exactly know the answer to that question yet, we do know the answers to many other questions about h...

Another article states that bananas “may help cure sleep disorders and snoring.”It sounds too good to be true. Is it fact, or online fiction? The source of the buzz is a study from Australia. The results were presented last week at a scientific meeting. The study abstract (#TP231) is available online.The study examined the “surface active phospholipids” of bananas. It sought to determine how long the surface tissue of the mouth might retain these oily compounds.Initial tissue cells were swiped from the inside of the subjects’ cheeks. Analysis found that these cells showed no evidence of phos...

Someone with obstructive sleep apnoea experiences recurrent choking when their throat closes during sleep, making it a potentially life-threatening disorder. Because of this, many people who suffer from this disorder end up wearing uncomfortable and cumbersome CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) apparatus during the night. Now some researchers in Australia have found that having a banana smoothie nightcap might just help keep the throat open and therefore reduce this risk of choking. The study, conducted by a New South Wales University, has come out with preliminary results that indicate that phospholipids (fatty acids) in bananas stay active in ...

I don’t know if I was half asleep or just expecting that everyone follows the same rules as me. I have always eaten bananas and have never had issues with them raising my bloodsugar to astounding proportions. Am I lucky or do others also share in this? I have kept up to date on all of the dietary guidelines and such related to diabetes and have always read that diabetics should also strive for their five a day as well. A medium size banana is considered one serving of fruit and has approximately 25-30 grams of carbohydrates in it. If you pair that with a low carb yogurt, rolled turkey or a cup of coffee you are right on track. There was a comment left to the degree of- “we sh...

Some are correct like the part about blood pressure, constipation, dietary fibre and as a good source of potassium. Others like Hangover and Morning sickness remedies are somewhat more dubious. This reminds me of an encounter I had with a Ugandan surgeon some years ago. He told me that Ugandan surgeons hardly have any opportunity to perform appendicectomies. This is amazing since appendicitis is so common here and in the West. The surgeon said that they believe it is because the staple diet (the equivalent of rice for us) in Uganda is bananas. Bananas are a local fruit. So makanlah buah-buahan tempatan. They are good for you! Post from: Malaysian Medical Resources (Source: Malaysian Medical ...

We can throw away all of our crappy pharma drugs. I just got this great news in my email……. A professor at CCNY  for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas.   He said the expression “going bananas” is from theeffects  of bananas on the brain.  Read on: Bananas contain three natural sugars -  sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.   Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. (No more hunting for those nasty street drug amphetimines). No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But  energy isn’t the only way a banana can hel... bipolar chicks blogging blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1192889 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:48:05 +0100 1192889 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1170312&cid=t_122034_86_f&fid=36090&url=http%3A%2F%2Forgmonkey.net%2F%3Fp%3D179 i have an hour-long commute to and from work each day.  the down time in my car is where i do my best thinking, but there’s something magic about the distance between my car and a piece of paper in my office that makes me forget what i intend to write down.  rather than texting while driving (into a ditch) i found a service called jott.  it’s a phone service that i call, say what’s on my mind, and they turn it into a text message and email it to me at work.  i’ve been pleasantly surprised to check my e-mail at work and see a note to myself that i had already forgotten about!  it’s a free service, which works nicely with my librarian salary.  check it out at http://www.jott.com/.
