Banana
(Shared by Miss Xu)
When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, next to a banana plantation. The owner of the banana plantation often gave us bananas. My grandmother often said that she couldn't eat bananas because her muscles and bones were sore, and she told us not to eat too much, otherwise we would be like her in the future.
Until I got to know Mr. Chen Yikui, in class, I mentioned that if people’s muscles and bones are sore, can I eat bananas? Teacher Chen Yikui said that this statement was correct in the past, because all the food in the past was probably plant-based, so the plant-based food is very diuretic, and when the diuretic is very strong, the minerals in our body are easily lost. In the past, people liked to eat watermelon, water spinach soup, and vegetable soup in summer, especially in those days when they ate vegetarian food in the morning, and the dishes were also boiled and dipped in soy sauce. Bones are often sore in an environment like this, why? 1. Mineral imbalance 2. Insufficient animal protein. If you eat a lot of bananas in this situation, you may not be able to stand it. Why? Because 1. The fructose content in bananas is very high. When it wants to generate heat, it will metabolize a lot of calcium. After all sugars are oxidized, carbon dioxide will be produced. When carbon dioxide is combined with calcium, it will become carbonic acid, and the entire calcium carbonate will be excreted. In this way, the bone and waist will be more sore. This is the situation of most people in the past, there is nothing wrong, but the current social situation is different. Now people should eat more bananas. Now everyone eats bread, French fries, and potato chips. The salt is so high and the sodium content is very high. Noodles are also high in sodium. Now, as long as industrial products contain sodium, If you don’t believe that just go buy a bottle of mineral water, it contains nothing but sodium. So when people live in this kind of society, including the meat we eat, when everything contains sodium, then you must eat a lot of bananas because of the potassium in bananas. Taichung bananas are different from Pingtung bananas. Taichung bananas have a higher sweetness, and more water, but Pingtung bananas have higher potassium content than Taichung bananas. The potassium contained in Taichung bananas is about 160mg, and Pingtung bananas are nearly 200mg. A person needs at least four a day if they want it enough.
It turned out that when I was a child, I was intimidated not to eat too much. After taking Mrs. Chen Yikui's class, my knowledge of bananas has increased a lot, and I have benefited a lot. Because I learned and know why from teacher Chen Yikui.
