Here are some of the health benefits of eating bananas:<\/p>\n<p>1. Regulates blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cures stomach ulcers.<\/p>\n<p>3. Helps with nutrient absorption.<\/p>\n<p>4. Promotes digestive health.<\/p>\n<p>5. Elevates the mood&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And a bunch of other things that experts probably haven&#8217;t been able to put their fingers on.<\/p>\n<p>Eat bananas at any hour of the day, morning noon or night, before or after meals, and eat all kinds of it. And here&#8217;s a point to note: banana induces drowsiness, so if you are one of those people who sometimes have trouble sleeping, eat lots of bananas before hopping into bed.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t worry about those two extra pounds that you might have gained from eating too many bananas, you can lose it again in the morning when you start your day with <a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/brazilian-products\/diamond-energy-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diamond, all natural, energy drink, made with a blend of fifteen fruits and super-foods.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/patrickcarpen.com\/brazilian-products\/diamond-energy-drink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about why you should start your day with the Diamond all natural Energy Drink if you want to get the most out of every day.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eat bananas, and lots of it, if you want to stay healthy, says natural health advocate Patrick Carpen.
