I wanted to write this post after avery short conversation I had with one of my cousins last week

I brought up the idea of Bananas, and how it pushes up your stamina .. my cousin here said “WHAT?” I have heard that eating bananas is good to make you sleepy ..!!

I here did not know what to tell him because I  knew that we were both not lying!

The question was Sumo-Wrestling inside my tiny little brain

So I decided to go and search!

SHOCKINGLY !!

I have found those two answers everywhere I looked .. from Google, and Books, all the way to Biology teachers. << Yes that how interested I was !!

anyways .. these are some of the quotes from my research

From

I’ve found this

“Bananas rev up energy as fast as sugary sweets do. In fact, ripe bananas rate almost as high as table sugar on the energy-upping index. But unlike sugar, fresh fruit gives you a stamina boost plus the nutritional benefits of fiber, vitamins and minerals. An added bonus is that there’s no food quite as portable as a banana.”

and from

http://www.sleep-deprivation.com/articles/sleep-disorder-treatments/foods-and-sleep.php

I’ve found this

“Bananas: Bananas contains melatonin and serotonin, chemicals known to help the body sleep, as well as magnesium.”

I conclude that yes bananas help you do both, and I think it depends on what will you do after eating bananas..

If you go -let’s say to the gym- yes they give you a boost, and if you rest and go to bed they make you sleepy ..

I can’t be sure until I try these two things ..

I’ll write a new post in few days telling you about how I felt in both situations
