Story,
According
to Japanese Scientific Research, full ripe banana with dark patches on yellow
skin produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which has the
ability to combat abnormal cells. The more darker patches it has the higher
will be its immunity enhancement quality; Hence, the riper the banana the
better the anti-cancer quality. Yellow skin banana with dark spots on it is 8x
more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than green skin
version.
Eating
1-2 banana/s a day increases immunity.
Fact
Analysis,
It is a
fact that nutrient content of fruits change slightly as they ripen. As a banana
ripens and turns yellow, its levels of antioxidants increases. These
antioxidants in ripe bananas protect your body against cancer and heart
diseases. But while overripe bananas certainly have nutritional value, they
also lose some benefits. In full ripe bananas with dark spots on skin, the
starch content changes to simple sugars that are easier to digest and may raise
your blood glucose levels quickly, but it could be harmful for people with
diabetes. Also, the micronutrients like vitamins and minerals decrease as the
bananas ripen.
Tumor
Necrosis Factor(TNF-α) is a cytokine, substances secreted by certain cells of
the immune system that have an effect on other cells. This is indeed helpful in
fighting abnormal turmor cells in body. Research done on ripening bananas has
proved that the levels of TNF-α induction increased markedly with dark spots on
skin before the entire banana peel turned brown. The research concluded that
the activity of banana was comparable to that of Lentinan, a chemical
immunostimulant that is intravenously administered as an anti-cancer agent. So,
ripe banana can act as an anti-cancer agent by stimulating the production of
white blood cells in the human cell line.
Both
green and yellow bananas are high fiber foods rich in potassium, vitamin B6,
fiber, and vitamin C. They have high calorific value because of their high
sugar levels. A medium sized banana provides about 105 calories. Also, bananas
are very good for our Gastro-Intestinal tract and aid in digestion. Therefore,
eating one or two bananas is indeed good for health. Once bananas ripen fully,
store them in the refrigerator to minimize further vitamin loss. Fresh bananas
with brown patches on the skin are ripe enough to eat immediately. Make sure to
avoid over-ripe bananas whose skin has turned brown or split open.
