Banana are good source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and dietary fibers which is good for an over-all good health including liver. As banana is also a rich source of sugars and carbohydrates, it is better to consume in moderation.

I'm really worried about my friend. She had quite a bit to drink last night like 6 vodka shots and a few whiskies. She vomited then, which seemed like just from drinking too much. But now, it's the next day and she can't keep any food down. Whenever she tries to eat, she pukes it all up. She insists she's okay, but it's really concerning. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be serious?

Your friend may be experiencing symptoms of alcohol poisoning, which can be very serious. Since she is unable to keep any food down since this morning, it is important to seek medical help immediately. She may need intravenous fluids to rehydrate and medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Please take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.

I'm wondering if drinking lemon water in the morning can actually help with bloating or if it might cause any side effects. I've been trying it out, but I feel like I'm having more gas building up in my stomach since I started. Should I keep drinking it, or is this a sign I should stop?
