This is confusing if bananas raise your blood sugar which affects your

circulation how can bananas help circulation than?? I remember I quit

eating bananas and lowered my triglicerides and enormous amount.

Re: Fruit and triglycerides

Well, I dont know why that Dr. pinpointed only bananas, as there are many

other foods, and some not as " healthy " as bananas that raise Tryg's even

more. With all the benefits that bananas has to offer vs this so called

effect on tryg's. I would not stop eating bananas. It is easy on the

stomach, sedating(relaxing), lowers blood pressure, good for the brain and

GI tract, circulation, good for ulcers, diarrhhea, stomach cramps,

heartburn, etc.

, with a bit of sarcasm thrown in.

Sharon,

When you lowered your triglycerides so much, was the fact that you stopped

eating bananas the only thing you did? Or was it one of several things that

you changed diet-wise at that time?

The reason I ask is that many times we 'fixate' on one change we made

affecting an aspect of our health and attribute that one thing even if

multiple changes were ongoing. Possibly it was the total affect of multiple

changes (including or not) abstaining from bananas that resulted in the

lower levels of triglycerides, including other dietary changes, the start or

end of a specific medication or the addition or increase in exercise?

Unless I missed it I didnt see anything about circulation and my question is

it help circulation

It is also a bit of a stretch to assume eating bananas will impair your

circulation. While diabetes can impair your circulation, if uncontrolled,

eating a banana doesn't mean your blood sugar will increase if you are

working bananas in to your meal plan and taking your medication as

prescribed.

I've been told to eat a banana a day... (actually 'prescribed' a banana a

day) as I was taking a mild diuretic. When he change it to a more potent

one, he put me on a potassium pill instead, but I still eat a couple of

bananas a week.

Baloney I take Metformin twice a day and cant eat bananas without raising my

bg and if I cant keep my bg down I will have circulation problems.

Then don't eat the bananas!

I'm not trying to force you to eat them, but based upon your statements,

ANYTHING THAT RAISES your blood sugar will impare your circulation... so

it's not the banana's fault, it's the diabetes.

Here is a link to calorie information on bananas. I also eat a few bananas a

week, sometimes 2 a day even. They are very nutrtious and the benefits very

much outweigh the negatives, which is pretty much only that its high in carbs,

especially a large one as you see. I even put sliced bananas in my oatmeals,

cream of wheat, fruit salad and peanut butter. Ok, I just finished eating less

then 5 minutes ago and I am making meself hungry again. End of discussion.

Why is that, if you count the cheese calories and fat as part of your

diet and don't overdo things. Unless of course you happen to be allergic

to dairy products

The dietician reckons that I eat far too much cheese, and I should limit it

to 4 oz a week, also pies are cut out........biscuits chocolate and cake,

but I guess those are obvious
