Food for thought
Eating certain foods and maintaining a balanced diet can help improve concentration. Researchers single out bananas in particular, claiming that they increase energy and alertness, lower blood pressure and even make people feel happier!
Alertness
Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Stress
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack
Depression
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.
