Can you tell me more? George, from Boca Raton. nswer (Part 2 of 2): Dear George, In history, bananas and apples have been thought useful in both the treatment and prevention of illness. \ It's true that the bananas ) can calm the digestive I tract. The banana also has a history of use in admin- istering to diarrhea, consti- pation, and hangovers. It has been used as an antacid, and has - even been considered an aphrodi- siac. Once upon a time, bananas were even thought to give humility. It is also true that stewed apples can help with constipation. And, as we all know, an apple a day, as they say, will keep the doctor away (particularly, when combined with other healthy behaviors). There is evidence that bananas are good for hypertension, heart disease, and alcoholism, and can help protect against stroke; as they are low in sodium and high in . potassium. Both apples and bananas are rich in flavonoids, phytochemicals, an-; tioxidants. Also, they both provide important vitamins, minerals, and some - fiber as I indicated last week. The bottom line: Enjoy them both as part of a healthy lifestyle. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Shabbat Lights Candlelighting Friday, Sept. 9, 7:34 p.m. Shabbat Ends Saturday, Sept. 10, 8:34 p.m. Candlelighting Friday, Sept. 16, 7:22 p.m. Shabbat Ends Saturday, Sept.17, 8:21 p.m. Key JN Phone Numbers: Switchboard: (248) 354-6060 General News: (248) 351-5144 Business News: (248) 351-5148 Arts News: (248) 351-5142 - Circulation: (248) 351-5174 Retail Ads: (248) 351-5151 Classified Ads: (248) 351-5100 4 3 i t e < ' A • AJ A . ;\_.! . -,,-- , ,, L r""141TI wc.T 101PP— man 3 ,xc. i II ■ *". i4 Integrated Nutrition, LLC, 32401 Northwestern Hwy.
