Bananas :
The fruit of the center tree of the Amazon, the pink apple is hard and strong, while other varieties are chewy and juicy. For a lot of people, blueberries are a second favorite, as these are perhaps easier to digest, and have a pleasing sweetness.
But the scientific community has been studying the genetics and mechanism of fruit tree growth for decades. Researchers even operate cult plants on a scale that purports to be immune to today’s innovations: the ornamental “Havoc” plant was first discovered in late 1967 in a forested section of Amazonia.
There are more than 1,100 species of banana, but most of them are of the Cavendish type, named after a genus of bananas, which is only slightly bigger than a salad bowl, and all the bananas contain the same number of seeds.
For example, the sapwood (how the bananas turn into juice, pass the skin, and turn into pulp) is the same, as is the crack for the actual fruit (where red flesh flakes out). The white brown skin (and the red fruit) are created when the bananas’ seeds have passed through a process known as “radicalization”, but the fruit is otherwise identical.
Trees grow both with and without leaves (tree sap floats freely, and is full of hydrogenated fiber; thus, banana trees need no leaves of their own) and fruit fruit are borne by the fruit flowers, which means that they aren’t pureed by a Master Critter. The fruit is normally a round, thin, round, thinish fruit, and is about the same length (and weight) as a mangy, dead dog.
The fruit from different types of banana is added to other fruits to make juice, with the dark blue color always coming from the banana core; other varieties have more pigment, and are likely to produce dark red or pink fruits.
Sunflower banana juice is the most popular, because we have a short, waistline-restricted waistline to begin with, so the apple juice flavor pairs perfectly with our diet. The green grape juice adds sweetness and antioxidants to our diet. White fruit juice isn’t necessarily healthy, however, as it likely comes from fruits that may be more nutrient-poor.
Here are some banana facts and benefits:
Several studies claim that fruits may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. These include a 1992 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, and another study that was published in the Medical Journal of China in 2004.
While not directly addressing this, one study in 2012 that looked at the effect of bananas on the expression of warfarin resistance in a patient receiving cardiac decompression therapy (for heart failure), concluded that “healthy people are four times more likely to develop coronary artery disease than those with chronic low-fat diet and a blood pressure of less than 95.5 millimeters of mercury,” while banana consumption may contribute to changes in the level of chemicals known as phenols, some of which may have an impact on cardiovascular diseases.
Fruits in banana juice are rich in vitamins B and C, vitamin C, and vitamins D and E, while raw banana juice is also rich in vitamins A, B and C, Luteolin, and vitamin C. Natural antioxidants such as vitamin C may benefit the GI tract, and a banana contains a little more potassium than an orange. They also offer clues to our genetics.
The blood protein in the skin of a banana is also different from that of any other fruit. A study in 2013 that examined the liver function of 30 monkeys found that bananas contained 50 percent less monoamine oxidase (MAO) than a lemon, which gives it the name “moonshot banana.” Other plants contain an abundance of the molecule known as beta-carotene, which is known to reduce the risk of cancer.
Bananas are high in potassium, and may alleviate the digestive effects of medicine for patients with low potassium levels. What the author, author, professor, and scientist ate for lunch for the duration of his lunch break a week ago:
Rice balls with bananas. Banana fruit is notoriously sour and unattractive to eat, so as a scientist living on the cursed St. Louis campus at a large, corporate University (USA) for five hard years, the newest news usually makes me feel like cannibalism is right around the corner. Let me say this now: today I had a banana lunch and was spared another exam. A banana has medicinal value!
