Winter is on to us. And so are the hunger pangs that strike so often now. If you are looking for a foolproof way to diminish hunger then turn to a banana.Surprised? Don’t be.
随着冬天的到来，我们时常会感受到饥饿的痛苦。如果你正在寻找一种简单的方法来抵御饥饿，那么试试香蕉吧！感到惊讶吗？大可不必。

The banana is considered an anomaly in fruits; a food that leads to weight gain. But that’s not true. Rather, bananas are a zero fat food loaded with resistant starch (RS), a healthy carbohydrate that fills you up and keeps those cravings away. Plus, they help boost metabolism. And what’s more, resistant starch consumption is associated with lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and better calcium and magnesium absorption in the body. Medium-sized bananas give you 4.7 grams of resistant starch, perfect to keep you full for a long duration.Other high RS foods are bulgur wheat (dalia), corn, barley, brown rice,lentils and potato.
人们认为香蕉是水果中的异类，能把人吃胖，其实并不是这么回事。相反，香蕉是零脂肪食品，拥有大量抗性淀粉（简称RS，一种健康的碳水化合物），会帮你填饱肚子，并驱走暴饮暴食的欲望。另外，它们还能促进新陈代谢。抗性淀粉的消耗会降低胆固醇和甘油三酸酯，也会使钙和镁在体内得到更好的吸收。中等大小的香蕉就能提供4.7克的抗性淀粉，完全能保证你很长一段时间都不饿。其他含有大量抗性淀粉的食物还有：碾碎的干小麦、玉米、大麦、糙米、扁豆和土豆。

Compare it to an apple, a banana has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the potassium and twice the vitamin C, iron and phosphorous than the fruit that apparently keeps the doctor away. And what’s more, a medium banana contains less than 100 calories.
苹果号称能“让医生远离”，但相较于苹果，香蕉则含有4倍的蛋白质，2倍的碳水化合物，3倍的钾，2倍的维他命C、铁和磷。还有，一根中等大小的香蕉，只含有不到100的卡路里。

Ever noticed that the banana is a hot favourite with athletes? That’s because it contains three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose – combined with an extra large dose of fibre, so it gives an instant boost along with sustained and substantial energy.
有没有注意到运动员们都很爱吃香蕉？那是因为香蕉含有三种天然糖分——蔗糖、果糖和葡萄糖——还有大量纤维，所以香蕉能即时地补充持久又足够的能量。

Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.If had with a little salt, it effectively treats dysentery too.
香蕉能对身体产生自然的抗酸效果，所以如果你被胃痛折磨，试着吃根香蕉来缓解痛苦。如果加点盐一起吃，还能有效治疗痢疾。

Bananas are a perfect Rescue Recipe for those trying to junk the cancer stick. The vitamins B6 and B12 and high potassium and magnesium found in it help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
对戒烟的人来说，香蕉是最佳解救处方。香蕉中所含的维他命B6和B12以及大量钾和镁，能减小瘾君子们对尼古丁的依赖。
