Question Do you know bananas can lift your spirits?

bananas contain tryptophan which, when ingested, increases levels of serotonin in the body (the same effect as Prozac). This can lead to various mood-altering effects (Leathwood and Pollet, 1982) including a reduction in depression (Sainio et al., 1996). As well, Xiao et al. (1998) found that eating just two bananas a day for three days increased levels of serotonin in the blood by 16%.

I've been eating a banana every day for breakfast for the last week and I've been feeling shitty.

Who's gonna eat 2 or more a day though? They're kinda high on the calorie list, you might as well have some chocolate.

while chocolate has some beneficial things in them, id pick bananas; they are rich in potassium.
