Researches by alternative medical practitioners have shown that people experiencing frigidity, sterility and most especially very cold sexual drive may not necessarily need to take drugs like Viagra, but natural diets like plantain.
Although some herbal doctors call it natural remedy for weak penile erection, but many other neuropaths say it should not be regarded as Viagra because of its negative interpretation. They say it is only a libido enhancing natural therapy that has no dangerous effect on body organs like the heart as that of Viagra.

Researchers have shown that co-treatment of extract of root of plantain to streptozotocin-treated diabetic rat resulted in a significant correction in the levels of sex organ relative weights, serum insulin and testosterone levels, sperm count and viability, androgenic enzyme activity, antioxidant enzymes, conjugated diene and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance levels in testis and germ cells counts at stage VII of the seminiferous epithelial cycle.

The results of the study published in Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants support the validity of this herbal drug for the management of diabetes as well as diabetes-induced testicular disorder.

How does plantain boost sexual performance, reduce impotence, unsatisfactory erection, sexual weakness and increase sex drive, including women you may ask? How can it be prepared might be the question of some people? The answer is that only unripe plantain is required for this purpose. Fresh unripe plantain would be used with the peel removed.

After this, the gel will be sun-dried to form a cake or flakes. During sun-drying, the materials should be protected either with tiny, spacing wire mesh or iron mosquito nets from flies. Once totally dried and has become a flake, it has become a "drug" referred to as sex enhancing drug capable of improving penile-erection, cure sexual coldness in women and also prevent early or premature ejaculation in men during sexual intercourse.

Although the precise mechanism of the hypoglycemic action of MEMP is still unclear and will have to await further studies, it could be due, at least in part, to stimulation of insulin production and subsequent glucose utilization.

Nevertheless, the findings of this experimental animal study indicate that MEMP possesses hypoglycemic activity, and thus lends credence to the suggested folkloric use of the plant in the management and/or control of adult-onset, type-2 diabetic mellitus among the Yoruba-speaking people of South-Western Nigeria."

A study on the effect of plantains on Desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-induced hypertension in rats indicates that chronic consumption of plantain diet is capable of lowering the DOCA-induced elevated mean arterial pressure in rats.
According to the study published in Pharmaceutical Biology by E. E. Osim of the Department of Physiology College of Medical Sciences, University of Calabar; and J. O Ibu of the Department of Physiology, College of Medical Sciences, University of Port Harcourt, plantain diet can also prevent the onset of DOCA-induced hypertension in rats.

They wrote: "DOCA administration to rats placed on normal rat feed elevated the mean arterial blood pressure. The consumption of plantain diet by rats previously treated with DOCA lowered the mean arterial blood pressure to control values. DOCA administration to rats previously placed on plantain diet produced no significant change in the mean arterial blood pressure when compared with control."

Plantain is also recommended for the treatment of urinary stones. The stem juices of Musa paradisiaca have been reported for dissolving pre-formed stones and in preventing the formation of stones in the urinary bladder of rats. Stem juice is also used in nervous affectations like epilepsy, hysteria and in dysentery and diarrhoea. Several oligosaccharides comprising fructose, xylose, galactose, glucose and mannose occur naturally in plantain, making it an excellent prebiotic for the selective growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine.

Beans, Beans, Good For Your Heart, Your Digestion and Your Health

Yeah, that rhyme doesn't sound the same as it used to in my childhood, but the lesson actually is totally true. Beans are an extremely healthy food, no matter what kind of beans you are talking about. Now, I'm just talking about beans, not loading them with sugar and bacon and all that other stuff, but amazingly enough, even those types of beans are still really good for you.

Beans are naturally high in protein and fiber, two things that are often lacking in vegetarian diets, so this goes double for any veggie-mights out there. Lets see what else do beans have to offer? How 'bout they lower cholesterol and reduce cancer risk. Because of the high fiber content they also reduce the chance of obesity because they fill you up, and stave off further appetite. (Most processed foods pretty much are fiber-free). Wonder why you are hungry a half hour after eating store bought mac and cheese? No Fiber.

And I guess the original childhood rhyme bears fruit. Beans also help relive constipation. (Hey, it's good to know, isn't it?)

So why am I talking about beans? You can't get fit by training alone. Diet is thought to be up to 80% of weight loss. That's why Jenny Craigs and Weight Watchers work on the weight loss spectrum. The problem is that doing diet without resistance training will make you a fat thin person. Yes, it sounds odd, but your muscle will decrease and your fat tends to increase (percentage wise) as you lose weight from dieting. And since muscle burns more calories than fat, being a fat thin person, you will burn even less calories, and gain weight back more easily...and unfortunately the weight you gain likely will be more fat weight, so it turns into a nightmarish spiral.

The key is combining diet with weight training. (Yes, I know, I'm a record that keeps skipping, but the message remains true.)

So without further ado, another bean recipe. This time it's Super Quick Black Bean Soup.

Combine 3 cups of water, 1 -16 ounce jar of medium salsa (or mild, your call), 1 -16 ounce can of black beans, low sodium, and 3 table spoons of a chicken or vegetable soup base. Heat and eat. You can also add one tablespoon of chili powder and some Tabasco sauce, if that floats your boat. Spicier foods also increase your metabolism, have I ever mentioned that?
