Why no nana's?

[rodman rat]

Ok with all the good stuff below about bananas. Will some one please tell me Why no nanas on boat???


Thank in advance for telling me I know I can count on my buds! Right?

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:

Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia :

High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:

This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:

High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:

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.

< BR>

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness

Mosquito bites:

Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:

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 chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:

The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:

Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use:

Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:

Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:

According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts:

Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!" PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

"Got around to cleanin up the remaining gear today, I.e. the coolers.
Dont ask me why.. I completely forgort to even look in the cooler we used for drinks and food.
Guess what I find.... A red and black fabric small lunch box type thingy in there...
Obviously somethin is stinkin really bad.... and I opened the lunch box and lo and behold... what do I find??

A stinkin BANANA!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOooooo wonder....... high seas, one grouper, wet the whole trip, and now I know..... Someone on my crew smuggled a nanner on the boat and there it sat, whole condition from the time we left the dock until I found that stinkin thing in that lunch box in the cooler!!!!!!
I'll get to the bottom of this and find out who it is."

"my sister nanner'd me once.. Catchin fish, bite was hot, everything equipment wise workin great... then out came the nanner.... bird nest this/that, fish quit bittin, hooked every rock in the bottom of the ocean.... Nanner will get ya every time!"

my own story
"i have a strict rule on board my boats no dam nanners. first time i got nannered i was 40+ miles out and the port merc goes ka-boom!. the water goes from slick as glass to 12 footers and a 30 knot wind.limpin back toward the hill the starboard merc shreds the tranny. i go to my kicker and for about 28-29 miles a 30 horse yamaha kicker moter pushes that 36 foot barge thru some VERY ugly seas but we got back to the hill..then two years ago i had a guy place a nanner in my boat -with out my knowing- and i caught a major case skunk until i found said nanner and removed it,by perscribed method.
i told a guy no nanners what so ever in my boat. as we had not caught a thing for a couple hours. i was fishing hard to catch a fish. turn and this guy is eating a nanner .. he then hands me a sound whippin as i again skunk out first time in 2 YEARS on this lake. to make matters worst he catches a 5.8 pounder.
the very next time i take him out- 3 months later- same thing nannered me 10 mintues later my faithful yammaha blows up..

this person will NEVER again be allowed in my boat or even near my boat...

Take nanners --you no catch fish,-- if you do they will be small with no fight---BAD LUCK---DON'T DO IT---Cause you might end up with a wierd on the water experience to write about on this site.

[BigBassin144]

psssh! I already catch small fish with no fight, so I figure what the heck I'll just throw a nanner in the equation, what could it hurt.

[3dkicker]

I'm going to have me some nanner colored and flavored tubes made just to fish with Zook!!!!! I've always wanted to take one strip from a banana peel and hook it and see if I can catch a bass out of the grass with it. I think the color would work.

[bamabassman]

hahaha, 3d. go for it.

[flbassman]

Back in the days of yore, banana bundles had poisonus spiders in them, resulting in sailors getting bit. So, no nana's on boats.....


^^^^According to my dad, I'm not sure about the truth factor....

[Rebbasser]

fl is correct:

[bcklash]

[bamabassman]
