DEPRESSION AND YOUR HEALTH

Many of us go through low moments in life; while some of us snap out of these feeling, others do not. People with a depressive disorder /clinical depression find that their state interferes with their day to day activities, and may also feel that life is not worth living. Depression is defined as “a mental state or chronic mental disorder characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness, despair, low self-esteem, and self-reproach; accompanying signs include psychomotor retardation (or less frequently agitation), withdrawal from social contact, and vegetative states such as loss of appetite and insomnia.” (Ref: medilexicon)

YUMMY BANANAS: HEALTH BENEFITS OF BANANAS

Bananas are widely known around the world. In Nigeria, it is probably the most sold fruit, as you can find banana hawkers everywhere. Bananas, I believe are also one of the most affordable fruits. I remember those days when we went on road trips, we usually bought bananas and groundnuts to munch on the way (delicious combo, I must say for those who have not tried it). Bananas are really good for suppressing hunger which is probably why many weight-watchers include a banana to their diet.
