Interesting Question

One time I happen to visit the site of Yahoo! Answers and happened to see an interesting question. The question is; is eating bananas cure pimples? The best answer chosen by voters is this; A well balanced diet & cleaning your face regularly helps pimples. Puberty is a driven force that only age can stop. However, there is another answer, which is very intriguing to me. The answer is; never seen a monkey with pimples. I really laugh aloud. However, I think he got a point there although for me it was a joke. Yes, I have never seen a monkey with pimples. Have you? It must be with the bananas that they ate. I do some research and found out that bananas can be used for regular skin maintenance. It treats some skin ailments too. Bananas are particularly useful in treating dry skin. This is what you will do. First let a banana become overripe. Then mash it and mix it with fresh milk cream. Apply it to areas where the skin is particularly dry.

Health Benefits

Another thing I found out is, bananas are good source of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and it has high levels of potassium.  The natural fiber in bananas contributes to many health benefits.  Health benefits of eating bananas are the following: boost energy, may boost mood, help reduce water retention, healthy bowels, cardiovascular health, improve blood pressure, protection from strokes and protection from ulcers.

Whether it is true or not if bananas will cure pimples, it is still good to eat bananas because it has lot of health benefits as what I had mentioned.

If you really loved to eat bananas, then I am sure that you will love the banana plant below:
