This is interesting. After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.
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.

BRAIN POWER
200 students at a Twickenham school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

NERVES
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort foodlike chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Many other cultures see bananas as a ‘cooling’ fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, ‘A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away.

1857 के विद्रोह की असफलता के परिणामस्वरूप, भारत में ईस्ट इन्डिया
कंपनी के शासन का अंत भी दिखाई देने लगा तथा भारत के प्रति ब्रिटिश शासन की
नीतियों में महत्वपूर्ण परिवर्तन हुए, जिसके अंतर्गत भारतीय राजाओं,
सरदारों और जमींदारों को अपनी ओर मिलाकर ब्रिटिश शासन को सुदृढ़ करने के
प्रयास किए गए। रानी विक्टोरिया के दिनांक 1 नवम्बर 1858 की घोषणा के
अनुसार यह उद्घोषित किया गया कि इसके बाद भारत का शासन ब्रिटिश राजा के
द्वारा व उनके वास्ते सेक्रेटरी आफ स्टेट द्वारा चलाया जाएगा। गवर्नर
जनरल को वायसराय की पदवी दी गई, जिसका अर्थ था कि वह राजा का प्रतिनिधि
था। रानी विक्टोरिया जिसका अर्थ था कि वह सम्राज्ञी की पदवी धारण करें और
इस प्रकार ब्रिटिश सरकार ने भारतीय राज्य के आंतरिक मामलों में दखल करने
की असीमित शक्तियां धारण कर लीं। संक्षेप में भारतीय राज्य सहित भारत पर
ब्रिटिश सर्वोच्चता सुदृढ़ रूप से स्थापित कर दी गई। अंग्रेजों ने वफादार
राजाओं, जमींदारों और स्थानीय सरदारों को अपनी सहायता दी जबकि, शिक्षित
लोगों व आम जन समूह (जनता) की अनदेखी की। उन्होंने अन्य स्वार्थियों
जैसे ब्रिटिश व्यापारियों, उद्योगपतियों, बागान मालिकों और सिविल सेवा के
कार्मिकों (सर्वेन्ट्स) को बढ़ावा दिया। इस प्रकार भारत के लोगों को शासन
चलाने अथवा नीतियां बनाने में कोई अधिकार नहीं था। परिणाम स्वरूप ब्रिटिश
शासन से लोगों को घृणा बढ़ती गई, जिसने भारतीय राष्ट्रीय आंदोलन को जन्म
दिया।
स्वतंत्रता
आंदोलन का नेतृत्व राजा राम मोहन राय, बंकिम चन्द्र और ईश्वरचन्द्र
विद्यासागर जैसे सुधारवादियों के हाथों में चला गया। इस दौरान राष्ट्रीय
एकता की मनोवैज्ञानिक संकल्पना भी, एक सामान्य विदेशी अत्याचारी/तानाशाह
के विरूद्ध संघर्ष की आग को धीरे-धीरे आगे बढ़ाती रही।
स्वामी
विवेकानन्द (1863-1902) जो रामकृष्ण परमहंस के शिष्य/अनुयायी थे, ने
1897 में वेलूर में रामकृष्ण मिशन की स्थापना की। उन्होंने वेदांतिक
दर्शन की सर्वोच्चता का समर्थन किया। 1893 में शिकागो (यू एस ए) की विश्व
धर्म कांफ्रेस में उनके भाषण ने, पहली बार पश्चिमी लोगों को, हिंदू धर्म
की महानता को समझने पर मज़बूर किया।
सदी
के बदलने के समय, बाल गंगाधर तिलक और अरविंद घोष जैसे नेताओं द्वारा चलाए
गए "स्वदेशी आंदोलन" के मार्फत् स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन सामान्य अशिक्षित
लोगों तक पहंचा। 1906 में कलकत्ता में आयोजित कांग्रेस अधिवेशन जिसकी
अध्यक्षता दादा भाई नौरोजी ने की थी, ने "स्वराज्य" प्राप्त करने का
नारा दिया अर्थात् एक प्रकार का ऐसा स्वशासन जा ब्रिटिश नियंत्रण में चुने
हुए व्यक्तियों द्वारा चलाया जाने वाला शासन हो, जैसा कनाडा व
आस्ट्रेलिया में, जो ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य के अधीन थे, में प्रचलित था।
बीच,
1909 में ब्रिटिश सरकार ने, भारत सरकार के ढांचे में कुछ सुधार लाने की
घोषणा की, जिसे मोरले-मिन्टो सुधारों के नाम से जाना जाता है। परन्तु इन
सुधारों से निराशा ही प्राप्त हुई क्योंकि इसमें प्रतिनिधि सरकार की
स्थापना की दिशा में बढ़ने का कोई प्रयास दिखाई नहीं दिया। मुसलमानों को
विशेष प्रतिनिधित्व दिए जाने के प्रावधान को हिंदु-मुसलमान एकता जिस पर
राष्ट्रीय आंदोलन टिका हुआ था, के लिए खतरे के रूप में देखा गया अत:
मुसलमानों के नेता मोहम्मद अली जिन्ना समेत सभी नेताओं द्वारा इन सुधारों
का ज़ोरदार विरोध किया गया। इसके बाद सम्राट जार्ज पंचम ने दिल्ली में दो
घोषणाएं की, प्रथम बंगाल विभाजन जो 1905 में किया गया था को निरस्त किया
गया, द्वितीय, यह घोषणा की गई कि भारत की राजधानी कलकत्ता से हटाकर
दिल्ली लाई जाएगी।
