Bananas As Beneficial As Sports Drinks

#1 21-12-2012, 04:50 AM

Bananas have long been a favorite source of energy for endurance and recreational athletes.Bananas are a rich source of potassium and other nutrients, and are easy for cyclists,runners or hikers to carry. Eat bananas for healthy bones and reduce the risk of heart diseases and blood pressure.

Aden, thanks for taking the time to make these posts, you're right about all these foods you've mentioned.

Well, today on Dr. Oz apparently kiwi is the wonder fruit...more potas than
Bananas, more C than an orange and other things I forget.
Oh also you don't have to buy organic...they hold some of the least amt
Of pollutants than any fruit.
I'm buying tons after the report.

Edit: I remember more fiber than a bowl of something they showed!

I always knew bananas were good stuff.
And Miss Hepburn...I have had some transcendent experiences with Kiwi Fruit!
No seriously, I was once so thoroughly exhausted after some traumas, plus no sleep for 38 hours, and had to drive a long way which started off on these mountain roads which were very tricky. I ate 3 Kiwi Fruit, basically because apart from some bread and some chocolate, that's all I had with me until I hit "civilisation". Well the effect was sudden and excellent. Power to Kiwi Fruit!

It's probably well known that lots of sports drinks are high in sugar.
Seems to me that a better bet would be bananas and water (to rehydrate).

Hahahaha .... I eat at least 10 a Day

I eat mostly fruit , and been doing so for a few years now.

The comparison of fruit to sports drinks ... is downright silly ! There is no comparison to me ... fruit .. ANY fruit is better than commercial drinks. Those are all about consuming the brand . Bottled fruit juice of 100 percent real fruit juice is also a whole lot better.

All the stuff about needing vits and mins from these sports drinks is just marketing ! PFM ... pure effen magic .. lol. Eat real food .... celebrate your existence ..... Love .... that's the foundation of all nutriion. It's not in a bottle ... not in a powder ... not made in a lab or studied by science... it's simply Love. That 4 letter word that every uses and but forget it's real Power :)

btw.. what's up with all these "server too busy" mesages ? I never know if a post is gonna post.

''Server is too busy'' means exactly what it says, it means a lot of traffic is entering and exiting SF. You are put on a queue.
Just wait it out a little and refresh. Don't refresh 5 seconds after the message because it won't help. 30 seconds should be more than enough.

Bananas are particularly rich in vitamin B6.
