This perennial herbaceous plant, belonging to the Musaceae family, originally originated in the tropics of Southeast Asia and the Malay Archipelago. Today, bananas are among the most cultivated crops - their total yield reaches 1,000 million tons annually, which is second only to wheat, corn and rice.

About the benefits of bananas in bodybuilding

For bodybuilding, bananas play a special role. For athletes using them, several beneficial effects are provided at once:

If you eat two bananas before each workout, they will allow you to maintain optimal level the amount of sugar contained in the blood, as well as energize the entire body with the necessary energy, replenish carbohydrate reserves and allow you to extend the duration of the workout;

Myths about bananas

There are several myths about bananas that are worth telling, especially since there are not many of them.

Bananas cause tooth decay.

Caries develops under the influence of sugars and simple carbohydrates, which are on the surface of the teeth for a long time, which leads to the destruction of enamel under the action of bacteria that have appeared. Naturally ripened bananas, like those bought green and ripened to a yellow state, are not dangerous for the teeth, since the carbohydrates they contain have not broken down into simple sugars. This issue is completely solved by rinsing the mouth with warm water.

Bananas contribute to the appearance of excess weight.

It all depends on the intensity of banana consumption. Eating 7-10 bananas a day and not exercising physical activity, you can actually get excess weight. If you eat 2-3 bananas a day, they will promote weight loss due to pectin and resistant starch, which prolong the feeling of satiety.

Bananas are a panacea that cures all diseases.

Banana is a healthy but common fruit. It does not have any supernatural effect on the body, and you should not rely on its healing properties. You can not go in cycles in bananas, you need to eat a variety of fruits.

A Practical Approach to Bananas

Bananas delivered to our country are usually green. They are placed in a gas chamber and kept in a "banana gas" environment, which is a mixture of nitrogen and ethylene. Instead of two weeks under the sun, maturation takes 2-3 hours in a gas chamber. Such artificially ripened bananas are not harmful to humans, but beneficial features lost, reduced the nutritional value, which is determined by the duration of stay in the chamber and the concentration of gas.

To choose the right bananas, you need to pay attention to their color. It is best to buy green, slightly unripe bananas to ripen at home. When black dots appear on yellow bananas, this confirms the maximum ripeness and sugar content of the fruit.

When there are bananas for those who exercise

It is necessary to refuel with a source of carbohydrates on time. When the body digests food, the flow of blood should be directed not to the muscles, but to the stomach. Therefore, it is best to eat a banana 40-50 minutes before a hard workout and immediately after it, so that nutrients and glycogen stores are replenished. It is possible in the form protein shake eat bananas with milk. The combination of bananas with protein, when consumed after a workout, enhances the anabolic response of the muscles. Half a banana can be eaten right during a workout - this will enhance physical performance during a workout.

You can store bananas, having bought them a little unripe, in a dry, dark place for up to several days. They can be stored in the refrigerator if they are skinned first.

Liked? - Tell your friends!

This is at home, sitting comfortably in front of the TV, you can fill a fruit bowl with apple cores or banana skins. At a party, and even more so, in a restaurant, such a number will not work ... In order not to be left without dessert in the end, I suggest you go short course fruit and berry etiquette, an indispensable thing in your culinary self-education, capable of putting you in the most favorable light, even on a romantic date, even at an official banquet.

Apples and pears. An apple is taken from a common vase in left hand and with a fruit knife over a plate, thinly cut the skin in a spiral, starting from the stalk. The cut peel is pushed with a knife to the edge of the plate (far from the eater), and the peeled apple is placed in the middle of the plate. After wiping the left hand with a napkin, using a knife and fork, cut the apple in half. One half is set aside a little, and the second is cut into slices. Holding the slice with a fork, cut out the core with a knife and put it on the cut skin. At an informal meeting of friends, you can take slices with your fingers, but in a restaurant and in a formal setting, an apple is eaten with a fork. Pears are eaten the same way.

Peaches and apricots. Peaches and apricots are eaten differently. The peach is taken from the vase by hand and over the plate, with a knife, that part of the skin that is freely removed is cleaned with a knife. The peeled skin is shifted to the edge of the plate with the end of the knife, and the peeled peach is placed in the middle of the plate. A large peach is taken in the left hand and cut in a circle to the bone, then broken. The bone is removed with a knife. Pitted peach halves are not eaten whole, but cut off from it piece by piece. An apricot is much smaller than a peach, so they do not cut it into pieces, but put it in half at once in the mouth.

Plums. Large plums are broken in half with your fingers and the pit is removed. A small plum is squeezed from the ends so that it bursts, and then the stone is removed.

Grape. Grapes are taken not with instruments, but with hands. Hold the brush with two fingers and alternately tear off the berries. Grapes are usually eaten whole. If for some reason you cannot eat grapes with seeds or skins, it is better not to treat yourself to them in society at all. Sometimes grapes are served without twigs to each guest in bowls. In this case, it is eaten with a teaspoon or dessert spoon. At the same time, the bones are carefully spit on the tip of the spoon, and then transferred to a front plate, and if there is none, then to the edge of their plate.

Orange. The orange is taken in the left hand and the skin is cut off with a knife over the plate from the side of the pedicel. After that, circular cuts are made with a knife on the skin, without cutting it from the side of the stalk. The more cuts there are, the easier the orange will peel. After that, the orange is placed in the middle of the plate and, holding it with your hand, open the skin to the stalk along the cuts. Thus, a peeled orange is obtained in the middle, and on the sides there are petals of the peel in the form of a flower. Then, wiping their fingers on a napkin, they take a knife and a fork in their hands, separate a slice of orange with their help and, if it is large enough, cut off a half, free it from the seeds with the end of the knife, and put it into the mouth with a fork. If a seed accidentally enters the mouth, it is removed from the mouth to the tip of the fork and transferred to the edge of the plate.

There is an easier way to deal with an orange, less formal, let's say. First, the peel is cut crosswise, then it is removed, and the orange itself is divided by hand into slices.

Tangerines. The tangerine is taken with the left hand, and the skin is peeled over the plate with the right. Then the slices are separated and eaten without using appliances.

A pineapple. Pineapple is served peeled and core, cut into circles or slices. Sometimes sugar or powdered sugar is served separately. Pineapple is eaten with a knife and fork. Pineapple in syrup, cut into slices, is served, as a rule, to everyone in bowls, and eaten with a teaspoon or dessert spoon.

Bananas. Bananas are served with cut ends. Taking a banana by the stalk with your left hand, right hand with the help of a knife, or without it, they are peeled and put in the middle of the plate, and the skin on the edge of the plate. Banana pulp is eaten with a knife and fork, cut into slices.

Watermelons and melons are served in slices with peel. The slice is placed on a plate with the skin down, and with the help of a knife and fork, the flesh is cut into pieces. The pulp can also be eaten with a teaspoon until the skin is firm. Or a slice of watermelon is placed on a plate with the pulp towards you, and the crust away from you. Eat with a knife and fork in small pieces, after freeing them from the bones with the tip of the knife.

Etiquette lessons: how to serve and how to eat fruit

Someone may ask: “What, and there are rules for fruits?” Of course. Agree, it often happens that you start peeling an orange, and the juice splashes in all directions, getting into someone's eye, someone's dress; or, for example, bitten an apple, and it turned out to be wormy inside, so you sit, not knowing what to do with that piece that is in your mouth. So, if you want to avoid getting into trouble, follow these tips when fruit is served on the table:

Fruits for which the knife and fork are intended should not be eaten with your hands.

The grapes are held by the leg with the left hand, and the berries are torn off with the right hand. Next to the dessert plate, be sure to put a saucer for folding twigs and peel.

Fresh garden strawberries are served with stalks, thoroughly washed.

Apricots and peaches are cut with a knife, peeled, pitted and eaten in small pieces.

Cherries are served with sprigs on small plates. For cherries, a special dessert spoon is served, with the help of which the bone is sent to a saucer. They take the cherry by hand, and the twig is also sent to the saucer.

Washed with boiling water, watermelons and melons are cut together with the peel into slices or slices.

When serving, they can be cut more decoratively - in the form of a basket, a flower, etc. Watermelons and melons are eaten with a knife and fork or spoon. If the fruits are not sweet enough, honey, sugar or jam can be served with them.

Grapefruit cut across into two parts. Half of the fruit is held in the hand or placed on a plate or in a bowl and the juice is squeezed out with a teaspoon, allowing it to drain into a spoon. Only grapefruit juice is eaten. The white skin of grapefruit and the shells in the fruit are bitter.

Pineapple is only delicious when fully ripe. The unripe fruit should be stored in a cool place until it becomes fragrant and light. Pineapple can be served on the table in different ways.

1) Cut the fruit with the peel into slices 1-1.5 cm thick, fold and serve as a whole;

2) Cut off the top and bottom ends of the pineapple. With a narrow sharp knife, separate the peel from the remaining part so that the fruit and peel remain intact. Cut the fruit into thin slices and cover with cut peel. Put back when serving

When serving any fruit, paper napkins must be placed on the table.

Etiquette: Fruit Saga. Banana

Today we begin the fruit saga. And I chose the word “saga” not by chance, because it contains the concept of heroism, and fruits, from the point of view of table etiquette, are one of the most difficult topics. Therefore, the word "saga" is used with appropriate irony, but there is something heroic in a person who, at an official reception, dares to touch a bowl of fruit. After all, the main thing is to know how to eat them correctly. Fruit is traditionally served as a dessert at the end of the meal. Banana is rightfully considered one of the most difficult to eat, and we will start with it.

How to eat a banana at home (by removing the peel and just biting off) is well known to all of us, and how to eat it correctly from the point of view of table etiquette is a whole science and a laborious process.

To begin, transfer your chosen fruit to your dessert plate, remember not to put too much - no more than ⅔ of the plate.

Fruits will be served with a dessert fork and a special knife - sharper than usual. After that, with the help of cutters, cut off the banana peel at both ends. While doing this, hold the banana with a fork, otherwise it may slip off the plate.

Step one. Cut off the peel around the edges of the banana

The next step is to remove the skin. To do this, make a longitudinal cut along the fruit, cut from the side, for your part, hold with a fork. Once done, open the banana by lifting up the peel. And voila, you're done! And then eat, with a knife and fork, cutting off in portions, piece by piece.

Step 2. Cut the Banana Lengthwise

Step 3: Cut into Pieces and Eat

Now you know how to eat a banana at Buckingham Palace!

Remember, practice is key here.

How to eat fruits - etiquette rules

Eating fruits and berries is undoubtedly a pleasant process. At home, no one thinks about the rules of etiquette and how to eat fruit. If at home a banana skin or a peach pit can be put in a fruit bowl, then in a restaurant or at a party you should behave appropriately, that is, follow the rules of fruit and berry etiquette.

What is the right way to eat fruits?

Pears and apples are usually on the table in a common vase. They take the fruit with their left hand, and with the right hand, remove the skin with a knife. By the way, you need to start cleaning an apple or pear from the stem and in a spiral. Move the cut skin to the edge of the plate, and put the peeled fruit in its middle. Now gently wipe your left hand with a napkin, take a fork into it and cut the fruit into two halves with a knife. Remove the core of the fruit with a knife, hold it with a fork, and place it on the skin scraps. If you are at an official reception or in a restaurant, then slices of an apple or pear should be eaten with a fork.

Peaches also need to be peeled, but only the part where it can be easily removed. Move the cut skin to the edge of the plate and place the fruit in the middle. To remove the stone, the fruit is taken in the left hand and cut in a circle. After breaking the peach into two parts and removing the stone, they put it on a plate and cut it into pieces, sending it to the mouth. An apricot does not need to be cut into pieces, as the halves are much smaller than those of a peach.

As for the grapes, they are eaten with their hands - they hold the brush with the left, and the berries are torn off with the right in turn. According to table etiquette, grape berries should be eaten whole, that is, with seeds and peel. If you were served grape berries in a bowl, that is, you need them with a spoon. In this case, it is permissible to spit out the bones on the edge of the spoon, and then transfer them to a special plate.

For some reason, many of us are afraid of not being able to handle the peeling of an orange. Take the orange in your left hand, cut off the circle around the peduncle and make circular cuts vertically. Moreover, circular incisions should not reach the stem. Now put the fruit on a plate and open the skin along the cuts to the stalk to get a kind of flower with a whole fruit inside. Then, using a knife and fork, cut an orange slice and free it from the seeds, cutting it in half. You need to eat orange slices with a fork. But the use of mandarin does not require appliances.

Pineapple is eaten with a knife and fork. Typically, this exotic fruit served sliced or in bowls, so you need to use it with a small spoon (dessert, teaspoon).

One banana contains 80-90 calories. According to the head of the trade community of Ecuador in our country, Carlos Lem Bonet, every Russian eats about 7 kg of bananas a year. Indeed, this culture benefits the body, since it has a number of undeniable advantages:

Store bananas properly

If the storage conditions change: it becomes too hot, very cold, or the banana lies for a long time and begins to rot, then its properties will also change. When looking at the calorie content of a banana, remember that optimal conditions for him, this is room temperature, shade or partial shade, but in no case a window sill flooded with sun. The temperature in the niche or corridor where bananas lie should be 13 - 18 degrees, this is ideal. + 20 and even + 25 degrees are acceptable for a room. The refrigerator will have the most detrimental effect: the peel will darken, the banana will rot.

When is the best time to eat bananas?

1. Vegetarians or those who follow a strict vegetable diet are allowed to consume in any quantity at any time of the day.

2. If meat and eggs are allowed in the diet, then ideally - before dinner. So they will be assimilated and help in digestion. If eaten after a meal, they can "ferment".

Bloating is a common occurrence in children (especially in newborns), this is associated with a difficult period of adaptation to extrauterine life, with a lack of digestive enzymes and beneficial microflora in the intestines, frequent feeding and overfeeding. Usually the baby's stomach swells after eating in the evening.

The causes of flatulence in children are of several types:

Digestive is a digestive disorder due to enzyme deficiency. Food is not completely digested, bacteria process it, while producing gas. The abdomen begins to burst, forming swelling.
Dysbiotic is a violation of the healthy balance of microflora. For example, after taking antibacterial drugs and tablets, the presence of pathogenic flora in the intestine increases (diarrhea is possible), thereby fermentation is provoked, so the child passes gases after eating, belching occurs.
Dynamic is a decrease in the motor system of the intestine (more often with abnormal development of the intestine). Food after ingestion accumulates in the intestinal tract, bacteria process it much longer. In this case, the discharge of gases slows down (they accumulate), so the child begins to seethe in the stomach.
Alimentary is the digestion of food, which, after processing by bacteria, produces gas.

Causes of flatulence in pregnant women:

Firstly, pregnant women have high levels of the hormone progesterone, which reduces muscle tone. internal organs, as a result, there may be: bloating, constipation, pain in the abdomen.

Secondly, one of the reasons is that the fetus (especially after 5 months of bearing a child) puts pressure on the stomach and intestines, thereby causing seething and discomfort in the stomach.

Thirdly, a pregnant woman is often in nervous excitement, this contributes to the development of gas formation (bloating), as well as constipation.

traditional medicine

There are drugs (tablets) that are produced to treat bloating, relieve flatulence and promote the natural removal of gases from the intestines:

Antifoam preparations (suspensions, tablets), they make it difficult for the appearance of gases, while destroying gas bubbles in the intestines (Espumizan).
Containing enterosorbents that remove toxins and gases from the body (activated carbon, Smecta, Holestipol).
Improving intestinal motility, increase the peristalsis of the intestinal tract as a whole, increase the excretion of gases (for example, Laktiol, Duphalac, Motilium).
Herbal preparations based on herbs.

Why should you see a doctor?

If after the normalization of nutrition, the selection of an appropriate diet and lifestyle in general, the symptoms of bloating after eating do not go away, then you should undergo an examination in a medical institution:

laboratory tests;
bacteriological examination of microflora;
Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity;
endoscopy and radiography of the colon.

The doctor should prescribe a systemic treatment for the disease, which includes:

2. Mandatory treatment of the underlying disease, which was the cause of the swelling.

3. The causes of dysbacteriosis are eliminated.

4. Drugs that suppress gas formation (tablets) are selected.

Folk methods

In the medical literature about this disease, the following concept has appeared: chronic pancreatitis is recurring attacks of acute pancreatitis. Moreover, after each exacerbation, foci of inflammation and fibrosis are formed in the pancreas, which are not restored. Normal cells after each attack are replaced by connective tissue that cannot perform its function. As a result, functional pancreatic insufficiency develops over the years. This is expressed in the fact that the body cannot produce hormones and enzymes in required quantity. As a result, with pancreatitis, the digestion process is disrupted, and the whole body suffers.

Doctors distinguish between primary and secondary pancreatitis. The cause of the secondary form is diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. And gallstone disease occupies a leading place among them. Cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, peptic ulcer and gastritis are also associated with the onset of the disease. If acute pancreatitis is not properly treated, it can become chronic.

With a running form, the pancreas swells. Treatment for acute pancreatitis is based on 3 pillars - cold, hunger and rest for several days. Doctors give injections of atropine to keep the gland from making enzymes. To unload the organ, they put a dropper with Trasilol. Painkillers are also used. And so that the infection does not attack the weakened organ, antibiotics are used.

If these measures are not enough, with acute pancreatitis, surgery is necessary. Surgeons open the capsules of the gland, make novocaine blockade and drainage. Therefore, acute pancreatitis must be treated in a timely manner, and then the patient recovers in 1-2 weeks. And the situation is quite different when chronic pancreatitis. To prevent seizures, dieting is a prerequisite.

The principle of therapeutic nutrition in chronic pancreatitis

In the complex treatment of the chronic form of the disease without exacerbation, doctors prescribe treatment table No. 5 P. Diets recognized by official medicine for various diseases, developed by Professor Pevzner. Target diet food- normalization of pancreatic function, prevention of fatty infiltration of the organ.

The principle of diet number 5 P is reduced to mechanical and chemical sparing of the stomach and intestines, reducing the excitability of the gallbladder. The composition and caloric content of diet food:

Protein 110-120 g, half of which is animal.
Carbohydrates 350–400 g, of which sugar 30–40 g.
Fats 80 g, 20% of which are vegetable.
The total calorie content is 2600–2700 kcal.

Nutrition for pancreatitis without exacerbation has a number of features:

With pancreatitis, the diet must be observed for a long time - up to a year or more. This is the only way to keep the pancreas healthy.

How can you eat a banana with pancreatitis

As can be seen from the Pevzner diet, fiber is replenished through vegetables, fruits and cereals. But vegetables can be eaten boiled and baked. Raw fruits should be eaten raw. The principle of a sparing regimen is precisely the grinding of foods rich in fiber. The menu includes:

pumpkin;
potato;
green pea;
carrot;
beets;
zucchini;
cauliflower.

Fruits can be eaten ripe and soft, but not sour. You need to use them in a mashed form. Apples and pears are preferably baked in the oven.

Bananas for pancreatitis, although not prohibited, can only be eaten in a pureed form in order to reduce the amount of coarse fiber. A mechanically processed banana stays in the stomach for less time. And this means that for its processing you will need less pancreatic enzymes and gastric juice. This avoids its functional overload. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the daily amount of bananas. With pancreatitis, you can not eat more than one banana per day.

Dried bananas are also not forbidden to eat with pancreatitis. You can make compote from them. In a small amount, bananas can be added to cereals. Raw bananas can be mixed with curdled milk, fermented baked milk or low-fat kefir. To prepare bananas with dairy products, you can mix half a fruit with two glasses of kefir or ryazhenka with a blender. Bananas can also be mixed with other fruits that are allowed for pancreatitis. To do this, grind bananas with strawberries or raspberries with a blender. Steamed bananas are useful for normalizing digestion.
