There has been a “mysterious taste” spread on the Internet: bananas and winter dates to eat together, different people can eat rotten fish, rotten eggs, chicken excrement and other taste.

So the question is, why do bananas and winter dates eat together, taste so amazing make the gods cry?

This may be because bananas contain different compounds that produce both aroma and odor. When bananas are half-ripe, the amount of “smelly molecules” are relatively low, so they smell sweet. When the banana is ripe, the content of “smelly molecules” will be relatively high, but the “flavor molecules” will dominate.

After the exercise returned home, temporarily can not find plain water, poured a cup of milk down, that call a cool! And drink milk and water more than thirst, incredibly is true!

Drinking milk after exercise is really more thirst quenching, that is, more hydration. The guiding principle for determining which drinks are more hydrating is that the longer they stay in the body, the better they are at hydrating.

A British study found that, given a hydration index of 1, a controlled human test found that milk, with a hydration index of 1.5, was more efficient than water and about the same as oral rehydration salts.

When the body ingested water, the kidneys were instructed to “make more urine and expel excess water.” But if the liquid (like milk) is relatively high in electrolytes like sodium and potassium, has a high osmotic pressure, and is loaded with nutrients, the body says: “I can’t urinate too fast now, or I’ll get thirsty and hungry soon.” As a result, the stomach will empty more slowly, the kidneys will urinate less, and water will stay in the body longer.

It should be noted that people are not encouraged to drink milk as water because it contains a certain amount of energy, excessive intake of which is associated with the risk of gaining weight.
