When you are feeling bogged down by the day`s work and are looking for something quick and healthy to recharge with, these foods are sure to come in handy.

Bananas are good for the nerves and muscles, and enhance functioning of the immune system. Rich in potassium and sugar, they provide the body with nourishment and instant energy.
