The Humble Banana

As a banana ripens, the antioxidant content increases, Dr David L. Katz, explains in the June 2009 issue of The Oprah Magazine.

Researchers from the University of Innsbruck reported in the 2007 issue of Angewandte Chemie that the ripe fruit contains nonfluorescing chlorophyll catabolytes, or NCCs, highly active antioxidants.



Don't throw away that banana because it's turning brown. It turns out that the brown is a sign that the antioxidant levels have risen.

According to a Japanese Scientific Research, ripe banana with dark patches on yellow skin has the ability to combat abnormal cells.

Hence, the riper the banana the better the anti-cancer quality.

The Gambler

Promise me son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man



The man who sang this is coming to town.

Hear his classic and meaningful songs at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 21 October 2012.



Now that the two casinos are up and running at full steam, the words of wisdom...


You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done
