Yes, bananas are great for your health!\n\nSince the average banana contains a whopping 467 mg of potassium and only 1 mg of sodium, a banana a day may help to prevent high blood pressure and protect against atherosclerosis.\n\nBananas have long been recognized for their antacid effects that protect against stomach ulcers and ulcer damage.\n\nBananas may also help you build better bones, improve your eyesight, and reduce kidney cancer risk.

FRUITS   have a high level of sugar.. Depending on your metabolism and your tolerance/reaction to sugar, you may or you may not lose sleep. Also if you have gastrithis I would not recomend. The sugars are acid - become acid in your stomach. \nIf you eat too many you may get a sugar rush...yes it is true.... If you eat them regularly - 1 apple a day before bed is no harm..\nIf you eat too many fruits a day you can actually gain weight.. because of teh sugars.. \nFruits are healthy but not in large quantities and ake care of the mixes you make. \nI would recomend no more than 1 apple before going to sleep.\nBananas contain sodium so if you decide to go bananas :) - kidding - check you tolerance- need for sodium (Na).\n\nBottom Line - If you are planning to make a habit of consuming more fruits check a nutritionist- a real one!.\n\nBest of Luck,\nButzunake

I don't know where you got your information, but you're a little off.\n\nIt is true that eating human flesh can make a person "sick," but the disease that is at the center of this issue is called "kuru," or "the laughing sickness." It has been documented among the Fore people of New Guinea.\n\nWe now know this to be a prion disease (like mad cow) and it is spread by eating the brain or nervous system tissue of an infected individual. However, the fact is that these diseases are spread not only through cannibalism, but can also be transmitted if a person eats any infected flesh.\n\nIt is thought that the Fore were one of the last people on Earth to practice cannibalism, and the toll that this disease has taken has stopped the practice (as far as we know.)\n\nThe reason that these cultures were able to survive, even with a scourge like this, is because the disease is far from being instantly fatal. Kuru incubates over a period of two to twenty-three years, giving people plenty of time to get infected and then reproduce.

I had this a while back. My father is a pharmacist and recommended eating bananas and rubbing almond oil on my calves. May sound crazy, but it worked!

Not really, not including eating enough of it to break your stomach open. There are thousands of fruitarians in the U.S. who eat only fruit. This includes hard fruits like nuts, seeds and beans. See this site to learn more (under "diet") about fruit and what MD says it is the healthiest food to eat. Plus why Andrew Weil MD and Am. Diabetes Assoc. think that it is good.\n\nhttp://phifoundation.org

Hi ..No special diet has been proven effective for preventing or treating this disease... Some people find their symptoms are made worse by milk, alcohol, hot spices, or fiber... People are encouraged to follow a nutritious diet and avoid any foods that seem to worsen symptoms... But there are no consistent rules...\n\nPeople should take vitamin supplements only on their doctor's advice..\n\nI put a link, below..with information..about the foundation! ...\ni wish you, all the best , and the courage, you need!!...\n\nKind, regards!:)

No.  The human body needs an abundance of potassium and very little in the way of sodium.  Most people get things backwards.\n\nYou cannot die from eating too many bananas.  You may start scratching your armpits and going "Ook, Ook, Ook", but you can't die from it.\n\n(Just kidding on that last part)\n\n-Dio

I am sorry for your situation :(\nI have read that swallowing gobs of unchewed rice or bread helps. I have not tried that personally though. \n\nDo a google search on the subject, and you should surely come across lots of viewpoints and information related to this.\n\nI would suggest you see a doc soon. I wouldn't wanna take chances. \n\nHope it comes out soon!

No! Your body needs all that energy to fight the bacterias, do try to avoid all kinds of vigourous activities until you're fine. Or your illness could just drag on longer.

I have diabetes, and have been told by a dietician in the hospital to eat a fruit  6 times a day. Fruit with breakfast, 10 am, noon, 2 pm dinner, and snack before bedtime. Only one banana a day, higher sugar. Apples and pears are great. Mangos are ok in smaller quantities. These are natural sugars, a little harder to digest.  These fruits take away hunger and are lower in calories  than items we eat with sugar in them such as cookies, cakes, candy and all those bad things. I have lost 70 lbs by doing this over a period of time  (250 down to 180) My diabetis went away (after being at 460) for 7 years after losing to 224. It has come back because I cheated too much, but it is back to normal with medication only. I eat fruit, when I  get a craving. It really works.  The dietician was very accurate. Best advice I have ever been given.

no you are better off eating a balanced diet. Only take the supplements if you checked with your doctor first. If you take too many and too much,then you may notbe able to fight off illnesses  when the time comes.
