This Is What Happens To Your Body If You Eat 2 Black-Spotted Bananas Per Day For A Month

Bananas are perhaps one of nature’s most under-rated fruits. The yellow skinned fruits are easy to overlook, especially when it seems as if there’s always some new and exotic type of fruit that’s being touted as the next big thing. However, the fact remains that bananas are a tasty super food that can give our bodies all the good stuff it needs to thrive.
They’re packed full of nutrients, vitamins, fiber, and all-natural sugars, like sucrose and fructose. That’s part of the reason why eating bananas regularly can help to keep the doctor away.
In the United States bananas are the top most consumed fruit and Americans eat more of them every year than apples and oranges combined. Many of us bring home a bunch of bananas from the store and eat them throughout the week. They start off mostly greenish-yellow and spotless, but as time goes by, the bananas continuously ripen.
Eventually they begin to develop brown spots, which grow bigger and bigger until the entire banana is covered in brown. Many people are turned off by brown bananas and think it means they’re rotten so they toss them out. It makes sense, most fruits that turn brown are indeed rotten and unappetizing.
However, the more dark patches a banana appears to have, the more ripe it is, and the more TNF it contains. TNF stands for Tumor Necrosis Factor, and it’s a cancer fighting substance that helps fight against abnormal cells in our bodies. Specifically, TNF helps to assist communication between cells in our immune response system and it guides the movement of cells towards areas in our bodies which are inflamed or infected.
Research has confirmed that the TNF found in ripe bananas interferes with tumor cells growth and inhibits them from spreading by causing cell death, or apoptosis. This, in conjunction with the high levels of antioxidants which are also found in bananas, boosts our immune systems and can increase our white blood cells as well. The next time you see a banana with brown spots, don’t pass it over. Instead, eat it up and give your body a mini-health boost and some extra energy.
In addition to the brown spots and their immune system strengthening qualities, bananas have a number of other health benefits. Below are a few of the main ones that bananas can give you, and the accompanying video covers even more than just these, so check it out:
1) Heartburn- Bananas are nature’s anti-acid and can provide relief from heartburn and acid reflux. Eating just one banana can immediately bring soothing relief and lessen your heartburn symptoms.
2) Blood Pressure- Bananas help to lower blood pressure and protect against stroke or heart attack because they are low in sodium and high in potassium, making them a heart healthy food.
3) Energy- Eating a banana or two before a workout gives you enough energy to last an hour or more. The low glycemic carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals all support your body increase endurance, while potassium helps to prevent muscle cramps.
4) Anemia- They can help those with anemia by providing much needed dietary iron, which stimulates red blood cell and hemoglobin production and strengthens the blood supply.
5) Ulcers- When you suffer from stomach ulcers many foods are off limits, but bananas can be eaten without having to worry about whether or not they’ll cause pain. That’s because their smooth, soft, mushy texture coats the stomach lining and protects it against corrosive acids and irritation.
6) Depression- They can help overcome depression because they have high levels of tryptophan, which our bodies convert into serotonin. Serotonin is a brain neurotransmitter that makes people relax, feel happy, and improves mood. Thus, bananas can help people feel better and beat depression.
7) Constipation- If you are clogged up, eat a few bananas. They have enough fiber in them to stimulate regular bowel movements and provide natural relief for constipation.
8) Nerves or PMS- When you’re feeling moody and stressed, eat a banana. They help to regulate blood sugar and are rich in B vitamins, which naturally calm the nervous system and make people relax, resulting in an overall improved mood.
9) Temperature Control- Eating a banana on a hot day can cool you off by lowering your body temperature. The same is true for it you have a fever.

THIS Mother Was Confused When She Saw Her Daughter’s Hair Kept Getting Shorter! Then She Realizes The Horrifying Truth!

School is supposed to be a safe place and environment for kids to learn and get a great education. It is also a place for kids to learn how to be social, make friends, learn how to interact with adults and slowly but surely become self-sustaining adults that can survive in the ‘real world’. The problem is a lot of time, this education comes with a price that many kids aren’t prepared for.
Bullying has been around for a very long time and even as many schools attempt to stop this epidemic it still shows up almost everywhere. In almost every school there are always certain kids who get picked on and certain kids who tend to be the bullies. Many have just accepted this as ‘the way it is’ or a ‘right of passage’ but sometimes the victims of bullying never fully recover and carry this pain in fear from school into adulthood.
This brings us to today’s story about a mother named Samantha Flemming and her daughter Melissa Flemming. Melissa was born with a rare condition called Microcephaly which caused her head to be smaller at birth than it should be and her brain development in turn develops slower than the other children. When the school year had begun Melissa had really long hair but her hair was strangely getting subtly shorter as the months progressed.
One morning mom made her little girl breakfast and sent her off to school like any other day, nothing was too out of the ordinary. When her daughter got back from school at the end of the day Mom had noticed that her daughters hair had gotten a lot shorter than when she left the house earlier that day. This was the most drastic it had ever been and Samantha had realized something was truly wrong.
At first she thought maybe her daughter was just cutting her own hair experimentally or maybe she and a friend were giving each other makeovers and cut each other’s hair and this time the friend just went a little overboard with the clippers. However the truth would be so much worse than she initially imagined.
Because of Melissa’s disorder she had a lot of trouble speaking and being able to vocalize how she felt and what she had been going through. Her mom began to fire questions at her because she was becoming very concerned at this hair shortening situation. Finally it became clear from Melissa’s description that a group of ‘mean girls’ at school had been making fun of her and cutting clumps of her hair out for the past few months.
Watch the video below to see how Samantha handled Melissa’s bully at school and for the full story:

He Sees His Wife In The Infant’s Crib But When He Realizes Why He Can’t Hold Back The Tears!
image via – youtube.com
Dana and Matt had been together since high school. They were a beautiful couple and they loved each other very much. They were very religious and wanted to share that aspect of their lives with their daughter Luella, who they were raising in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They were intent on giving her the best childhood possible.
One day, Dana and Matt left Luella with a sitter. They went to a worship concert and conference. At the conference, Dana met a missionary who told her a heartbreaking story. This story would go on to move her immensely.
He had done a lot of work in Ugandan orphanages. He spoke about one specific orphanage that was different than the rest. The inside was a large room with around a hundred babies each in his or her own crib. When the missionary walked inside, he expected the room to be raucous and loud. Instead, it was silent. The missionary told her that the babies didn’t cry because no one came for them when they did cry. Eventually, the babies each realized that crying wouldn’t do anything and stopped.
Dana couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How tragic that so many children gave up on the idea of someone coming for them so early in their lives. Dana vowed that she would never allow her own daughter to feel this way. When she got home, she heard Luella crying. She climbed into the crib and laid beside Luella until the young child went to sleep. Dana is one of many noble mothers to dedicate her time and self to her child. Hopefully someday, every child will have a mother as committed and loving as Dana.

Unless you have been growing up under rock you have probably heard of the iconic structures such as, The Eiffel Tower, The Roman Colosseum, The Lincoln Memorial, Trafalgar Square, The Washington Monument, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Elizabeth Tower That Holds The Popular Big Ben, The Pyramids of Giza, That Statue of Liberty, and finally the Legendary Disney Land! In this article we are going to go over some secrets that the majority of the population of planet earth doesn’t know about these major structures in hour human civilization.
~ The Eiffel Tower – If you have ever visited Paris, France it is more than likely that you visited the beautiful and spectacular Eiffel Tower. Millions travel from countries all around the world just to lay eyes on the magnificent structure. If you decide to enter the structure, there is a beautiful built in elevator that will bring you to the top. While most people know about the majestic view from the top of the Eiffel Tower many are unaware of a secret room that was built into the structure. It is unclear why the secret room is even there or what the purpose of it is.
Sometimes they do allow people to visit the room, but it is pretty rare. One documented person who spent almost a week in the secret room is none other than the legendary Thomas Edison. It’s just very peculiar that the room is there but they never talk about it. Could there be some other purpose they aren’t telling us about? We may never know!
~ The Roman Colosseum – If you have ever traveled to Rome, Italy I would bet you probably stopped off to see the incredible Roman Colosseum. The strange secret about the Roman Colosseum is that there is a large and intricate tunnel system called the Hypogeum Tunnel underneath the structure that was strictly off limits to the public for thousands of year until 2010 when they finally began allowing people down there..
Back in the heyday of the Roman Empire these tunnels were used for prisoners, gladiators and the large animals such as Lions, Panthers, Elephants and Leopards to keep them caged before a big event. Their cages had Pully-Systems that would lift animals and gladiators directly up to the main floor of the Colosseum.
~ The Lincoln Memorial – If you have ever traveled to Washington D.C. you probably stopped by one of the most popular tourist attraction the Lincoln Memorial. Many students in Middle School or High School usually have a class field trip to Washington D.C. where the memorial is one of the first stops. The majority of tourists and the public at large have no idea that there is a secret door on the side of the structure. If you enter the secret door, you will walk up some steps, which lead to an actual cave, with stalactites and all!
~ Trafalgar Square – One of the most famous places to check out in London, England is Trafalgar Square. This square is known for historical protests, mass movements, demonstrations and sometimes even looting would take place. Because there was always so much going on there were always a lot of Police Officers trying to keep the peace.
Many have no idea about the secret building in this square, that there is a smallest Police Station in the world was built in the square and only one officer can fit into at once! There is a a light which pretty much blends in as a street light, which was used to alert other officers in the area that things were getting out of hand and he would need back up!
~ The Washington Monument – This is another huge attraction in Washington D.C. that millions of people visit every year. While millions come to view the structure, many have no idea that there is an exact secret replica of the Monument very close to the main structure. This tiny version is called Benchmark A. They apparently use it for synchronizing satellites and maps or so they say.
When it was first constructed in the 1800’s it was built above ground, but as the land around it began to change Benchmark A has actually been swallowed up and is now underground! Apparently it sinks deeper into the ground at a rate of .5mm each year.
~ The Leaning Tower of Pisa – One of the most iconic buildings in all of Italy. Millions of tourists and travelers come to see the strange tilted tower every year. You are allowed to go into the interior, however at the top again, there is a secret hidden room almost nobody knows about. It is rumored that the room held the initial blueprints which were drawn up to make the tower lean.
The theory is the original blueprints are kept in this secret room, and the public has never ever been allowed to enter this secret room. Other’s believe the tower leans because the land underneath it has shifted. This is one mystery we may never get to the bottom of.
~ The Elizabeth Tower That Holds The Popular Big Ben – The beautiful building is in Westminster London, and is one of the most famous places in the entire world! Although millions and millions of people travel to see the structure many are denied access to the interior. When you walk inside there are exactly 334 stairs which lead you to the top where Big Ben is. Since it’s inception it has been near impossible for tourists to gain access to the interior.
In order to go in, you would have to fill out paper work and actually apply for a permit to walk up the steps. One secret locals may not mention to a tourist is even with applying with a permit access to the interior of Big Ben has only been granted to citizens of London.
~ Pyramids of Giza – This is the most famous pyramid on planet earth. It is also one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and out of these ancient wonders it is the oldest one! There are tons secret rooms and passageways within the pyramid that people have tried to access for years. For 1000’s of years nobody even knew the secret rooms existed till scanners from modern technology detected them and archaeologist gained access. To make things even weirder these secret rooms are completely empty. There is nothing in them at all! This mystery will probably never be solved.
~ The Statue of Liberty – Probably the USA’s most famous landmarks. The statue was a gift from the French. Many people don’t know the secret that you used to be able to climb above the crown of lady liberty inside the torch. However the original torch was destroyed and access obviously had been cut off. Recently they have done a renovation and a new torch was resurrected. Many people have tried to gain access to the new torch!
~ Disney Land – Probably the most iconic and popular theme parks on planet earth. Children and their parents flock to the park every single year. It is absolutely a magical place! Alcohol is prohibited for almost 99% of Disney Land however, there is a little known secret named Club 33 which exists within the park.
The only way to get into Club 33 is a door that is hidden and unmarked on the outskirts of New Orleans Square. Club 33 is the only place in all of Disney that you can consume and alcohol beverage. It is thought that Walt Disney himself had Club 33 constructed so if he ever was hosting guests he could bring them inside. Another little known fact is Walt never even got inside Club 33 because he had passed away before construction was finished!
Club 33 is now open to the public, but it costs 25 thousand dollars to join initially to even enter the place and if you want to come back you have to play 12 grand a year to stay in the club. Almost nobody will ever get inside unless they have an unnecessary amount of money to blow.

image via – youtube.com
Cats are truly one of the most interesting animals on planet earth. From the mighty king of the jungle the lion, to the tabby cat at your grandma’s house, these animals give off a majestic vibe that almost no other animal on planet earth can match. People who have never had a kitty as a pet tend to believe these creatures are cold, weird, sneaky, sometimes scary and have no personality. Usually these people only ever had dogs or aren’t into pets at all. However, anyone who has had the pleasure of sharing a living space with a majestic feline knows that these anti-cat stereotypes couldn’t be further from the truth.
Sure, you aren’t going to get the immediate unconditional love from a cat that a dog would give you after about two hours of hanging out. Cats will make you work a little harder for that unconditional love in return, but when they finally decide to let you into their inner circle, all that time it took to gain there trust is all worth it!
In today’s featured story we will be covering a beautiful story about adopting homeless and abandoned kittens. The story begins with a man named Jared and his girlfriend Katt who decided that they were going to adopt a kitten from a shelter who was in desperate need of a loving furever home. That morning Jared got in his car followed the navigation and made his way to the local SPCA. He parked his car, he got out, entered the shelter and headed towards the cat adoption area.
He walked around trying to feel out which cat gave off the perfect energy to match their personalities. For anyone who has ever adopted an animal they know the part where you are at the shelter looking for “the one” can be very emotional. Not only are you about to add a new family member to your life that will be with you for the next decade or two; but you also have to walk past the other animals that you are not adopting and this can be heart wrenching experience. With that being said Jared ended up making eye contact with a small grey kitten and in that exact moment Jared knew this little guy was “the one”!
He told the SPCA that he had to head to work but to hold this kitten and he and his girlfriend would be back later that day. He also explained to the people at SPCA that he wanted to make this kitten adoption “special”. What did he mean by special? Well no spoilers yet…
He came up with ingenious plan with the staff at the SPCA and told them that later that day he and his girlfriend would come get the kitten but they would be arriving separately… The plan was set, an adorable abandoned kitty was going to get a forever home and there would be one final touch to put the cherry on top of this wonderful day…..

They Walked Past This Strange Plant But What Explodes Out Is UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
When truly amazing videos come out on the internet from reputable institutions, such as the Smithsonian, showing us the proliferation that exists in nature, it is mind-blowing. This video footage, never seen before, from the Puerto Rico Trench is an example of such astounding actions within Mother Nature, that we would think we were watching science fiction.
What you are about to view just sounds impossible, but it is real! Exploding plants!! You are about to see how the smallest impetus in nature sets off explosions within certain plants that lead to their reproduction.
The main biological purpose of all living things is to reproduce. Nature makes that happen by the distribution and replication of seeds so that living things have the chance of having a legacy from generation to generation.
In the plant world the spreading of seeds occurs in many different and creative ways, fruits rely on animals and humans to be enticed by their sweetness, plucking them and then transporting them to another place to be replicated. Some plants rely on bees or wind to spread their seed.
The unique plants you are about to witness are not reliant on something else. Instead they are self-reliant; pressure within their own leaves allows them to be autonomous, by exploding their seeds out into the world.
This slow motion video of the action of several different varieties of such plants is truly amazing to behold. Enjoy this magnificent footage of nature in action.
