Welcome my beloved Steemian friends to a new episode of Myth or Fact! The series in which we will show that some common beliefs are myths while others are true.
We all have friends on this one, smart aleck who knows everything better. Walking through the dense jungle of Thailand, all this knows the bananas grow and say, 'Look, there is a growing berry.' I can not find one berry but a banana and ask if he intends to plant a banana in a tree. Suddenly he started to sound like my teacher gave me a lesson. 'No! Bananas do not grow in trees but herbs and therefore berries. "He explained.
Well Steemians what do you think? Today we will know more. Let's take a closer look!
Trees or plants, fruit or fruit?
I do not know what you think but my mind is really exploding! Actually bananas do not grow in trees and are technically considered as berries. Right, give it! (Tomorrow I will tell you that strawberries are nuts!)
Let's look at banana plants and understand the structure. In the picture below you will realize that banana plants do not have actual tree trunks but are made from packed leaves. Actually the whole tree is made of leaves. Not having a wooden network does not mean the trunk is soft, in fact it is sturdy.

The exact term to be used to describe a banana plant is a perennial herb. The banana family is known as Musaceae and a banana concoction called Moses. Having a sturdy stalk allows banana plants to grow up to 25 feet! That's high enough for a herb, as a matter of fact, this is the biggest herb on earth. Like I said banana itself is not a fruit but a berry. It contains seeds that you can see in the picture below.

Have not you blown your mind? Then look at the title picture and guess which way the banana grows. You will see that they grow upwards against gravity! This phenomenon is known as geotropism, in this case negative geotropism. The roots grow toward gravity while the stems grow against gravity.

Banana Fast
Posted by harinam
I did this fast many times.. It has many excellent effects.
Super increased flexibility in the body, particularly the joints
Expansive meditative space, allowing you go go into very deep trance
Profoundly stimulates intuition
I lost about 20 lbs each time I did the diet
and some side effects
It puts some stress on the heart, particularly if you have a very strenuous exercise schedule. Maybe take it easy a little during the fast.
I did not keep off the weight for very long.
Instructions
This diet removes drug deposits from the medulla. It must be started on the day of the New Moon and continued for 14 days until the Full Moon. It is intended to build up worn tissues and adjust the iron, sodium,and potassium factors in the body. This diet takes away the sodium and replaces calcium.
Breakfast: 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice with the pulp left in, and sweetened with honey. After 1 hour, eat 3 (yes, three bananas). Chew thoroughly, this is very important, and be sure to eat the strings of white which cling to the banana. Immediately after the bananas eat the contents of one whole cardamom pod. The cardamom turns the bananas into liquid and changes the effect of the bananas on the digestive system.

Lunch: 3 bananas followed by one whole cardamom pod.
Dinner: 3 bananas followed by one whole cardamom pod. This diet has its side effects, so be prepared: Yon may feel weak from the lack of customary nervous stimulus. In that case take more orange juice and honey during the day. If constipation is the problem, increase the cardamom pods to a maximum of 3 at a time. Also drink large amounts of hot water periodically. Yogi Tea may be taken along with mis diet You may find yourself feeling excessively emotional and short tempered. If you have a severe reaction to the diet, then discontinue (break the fast according to the following instructions, however, and try it again when your system has undergone more preliminary purification.) The Banana Fast is not recommended for people who have had no previous cleansing purification diets.

After the 14 days of bananas, on the 15th day of the moon, you should take lemon juice in warm water with honey. Then for the next 28 days, you should go on Mung Beans and Rice Diet. This diet is for the kidneys and higher meditation.
The proportions of mung beans to rice is slightly different when you are taking it as part of the Banana Fast, and therefore you should follow the recipe as given here:
Cook 1 part mung beans to 2 parts rice and about 10 parts of water (it is essential to use adequate amounts of water so that the final product is “soupy” and not solid.)
Green vegetables should be cooked right in with the mung beans, and rice (green pepper, broccoli, string beans, zucchii \ etc.)
Turmeric and fresh mint leaves must be cooked in the mug beans and rice (dried: mint may be used if necessary.)
Any fresh fruit may be taken to supplement the diet, and of course Yogi Tea.
No dairy products for these 28 days.
(Note for Women: with this fast the menstrual period may come 2 weeks early, but with minimum food intake the discomfort should be slight)
