13 reasons why you should have Bananas for Breakfast ;)

                       
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.


Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

Get Your healthy Morning Energizer/Drink without the nervous jittery effects like coffee.


YOUR MORNING DRINK without the nervous jittery effects like coffee.


Ingredients:
- 1 cup pineapple (aids digestion and rich in vitamin C and manganese which are natural energizers)
- 1 orange (helps combat fatigue)
- 1 grapefruit (Helps reduce fatigue and boost your metabolism - a similar effect that coffee has)
- 1 lemon (natural electrolytes, and a bitter taste that helps wake you up)
- 2 inches ginger (brings mental clarity and focus)

Juice (or blend if you don't have a juicer - if this is the case, then shred the ginger into the blender to avoid large chunks) and serve!

After drinking this juice you should feel energized - but not the same kind of energy you feel after drinking coffee. This energy is not nervous or jittery, and doesn't give you subtle anxiety that often comes with a strong coffee brew. This morning energizer, as I call it, will leave you feeling alert yet relaxed and at ease

Cosmetic Harmful Ingredients

 
Photo: Cosmetic Harmful Ingredients 

Here are some facts about a handful of the most commonly used, and most dangerous ingredients in your everyday beauty products. For a toxic-free life, look out for these harmful chemicals when buying your next round of beauty essentials:
 


1. Aluminium. This toxic metal can be found in virtually every personal care product, and is especially present in antiperspirant deodorants. There’s an increasing concern about the use of products containing aluminium, especially when applied to the skin near the breast in the form of deodorant.  The reason for this is that aluminium can have oestrogen-like effects in our systems, which can disrupt the healthy functioning of the endocrine system.
 
2. Toluene. This petroleum based by-product is most commonly found in nail polishes and cosmetics. Toluene is a harmful neurotoxin, which can affect the functioning of the brain and central nervous system, and can pose implications for the healthy development of children; both born, and unborn.
 
3. Parabens. These guys are a group of nasty, synthetic preservatives that can be found in just about all of your cosmetics and personal care products. If you have babies, be sure to check the ingredients list of your baby products too, as they are commonly found in shampoo’s and moisturizers for the little ones. Parabens have been linked to the disruption of normal endocrine function, severe allergies and even cancer.
 
4. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). You’ll most probably come across this in commercial shampoos, body washes, and toothpastes. SLS is actually an industrial chemical designed to create foam. Although it hasn’t been scientifically proven to be harmful on its own, the manufacturing process of this chemical can contaminate products with 1,4 dioxane; a bi-product that has carcinogenic and immune system suppressing actions. What research does indicate, is that nearly 22 percent of all personal care products, including those for children’s use, contain the cancer promoting contaminant 1,4- dioxane.
