Banana (or Plantain) health food: The banana is of great nutritional value. It has a rare combination of energy value, tissue-building elements, protien, vitamins and minerals. It is a good source of calories being richer in solids and lower in water content than any other fresh fruit.

Banana for energy A large banana supplies more than 100 calories. It contains a large amount of easily assimable sugar, making it a good source of quick energy and an excellent means of recovery from fatigue. The use of bananas has been found beneficial in the treatments of several disorders such as intestinal disorders, constipation, arthritis, gout, anaemia, allergies, kidney stones, tuberculosis and urinary disorders. Banana and longevity Folk physicians of ancient Persia and India regarded this golden fruit as natures secret of perpetual youth. Even today, banana is known for promoting healthy digestion and helping create a feeking of youthfulness. It helps promote the retention of calcium, phosphorous and nitrogen which then work to build sound and regenerated tissues, which is an aid to youthful metabolism.

Lice
By: nagalie | 22-07-2008
I am so grossed out, tired, and aggrivated. I need help. I need some feedback. To begin with, I'm an ultra clean person but I think I have lice. I am not sure. for a week now I have been itching like crazy but didn't find anything until today. I can never find anything at will. Nothing in the seems of my clothes. I only feel them. anyway, today I found on my arm ( think it fell from my head) what I now know looks like lice according to pictures i've seen. It had 6 legs was a transparent brown exept for the dark insides of its body. It was about the size of the period at the end of this sentence but a bit larger including it's legs...(Sooo sorry that you are getting this gross info but it's quite necessary for the process of identifying my problem.) Anyway, I am pretty sure it is lice but the question i want to ask now is what kind? If it is body lice it should be treated different from head lice I think. I know you can get rid of head lice with olive oil but body lice? Here are my symptoms... I am 90% sure I got this from my dog who was in some tall grass the other day. I saw her itching intensely but shes never had any bites before so I didnt think about it. I thought it was allergies and gave her a benedryl. THEN I started itching along with her. I know its not fleas. I don't think its scabies because my bites dont run in lines or around the webbing of my fingers. Not only that but scabies dont look like lice from what I know. Now, I can't tell if it is head or body lice because of this, they are both on my head and on my body. I even feel them in my eyelashes. I have them in my nether regions...and I've never had sex.lol I have bites that look like pimples all spread out on my legs...nether region...round my belly button, on my behind, back and neck. None on my chest or face thank God for that. But head lice are supposed to remain on the head for all I know and body lice on the body. I even feel itchy in my ears. I can barely sleep. Someone help me so I can search for a remedy pleeease. If you have a remedy for either please share it with me . Thanks
