People suffering from depression may felt much better by eating a banana...this is because the banana contains tryptophan, a type of protien that the body converts to serotonin, known to make us relax,improve our mood and generally make us happier!!!!!!!Did anyone ever feeled???

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps.

husi_007 you are correct and you know something: I did not know this about tryptophan in bananas but I recall it being in turkey supposedly doing the opposite by making one tired and not energetic at all. Thank you for the post and everyone here is what she is referring to: http://www.finetuneyou.com/Bananas.html
