Eat those bananas

Reading about Gen. David Petraeus fainting yesterday during a Senate hearing, and blaming it on not having eaten breakfast and drinking enough water, and after he'd returned to the hearing a short time later, and telling those gathered that he'd just eaten a banana and felt much better, I have to say that bananas are a definite "must have" on a daily basis when one gets older, or is under some stress. Bananas contain lots of potassium and that's an important thing to have enough of in your body. Check out the facts here. How's that for my annual health tip?
