According to a recent survey undertaken by a group of scientists reveals that
a banana a day will keep away the depression. This is because bananas
contain tryptophan, a kind of protein that the body converts into serotonin,
known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel
happier.

It has vitamin B6, which regulates blood glucose level, which can affect your
mood. The banana has high iron content, which will stimulate the
production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana
milkshake, sweetened with honey. This unique tropical fruit is extremely
high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat the blood
pressure.
