Banana Diet http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2009/08/22/2009082200317.html
Diets can be just as sensitive to trends as fashion, and now a new diet that was a sensation in Japan last year has arrived in Korea. The Morning Banana Diet owes much of its massive popularity to its simplicity: a breakfast of one banana and warm water as soon as you wake up in the morning, and you can eat lunch and dinner as usual. Many people in Japan posted online accounts of successfully losing weight on the regimen, leading to nationwide banana shortages there. Now an increasing number of Koreans have also begun blogging their experiences on the Morning
Banana Diet. ◆ Is the Key Easily Digested Foods? So how exactly does the Morning Banana Diet work? The diet's inventors Hitoshi Watanabe and his wife Sumiko Watanabe claim that food that can be digested quickly helps the stomach to rest longer. When the stomach spends a great deal of energy on digesting food, it tires the whole body and changes your body type to one prone to gaining weight. Fruits such as bananas reach the intestines in just 15 to 20 minutes and are quickly absorbed, while vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates or proteins need three to four hours to be broken down and digested. "The key to the Morning Banana Diet is to have a regular intake of food that is easy on the stomach, at least for breakfast," the Watanabes say. ◆ So Why Bananas? "Bananas are composed of 70 percent water," the Watanabes say. "Eating a banana with water in the morning restores water in the body that was lost during sleep. Bananas are also rich in serotonin, which calms the nerves, reduces stress, and curbs the appetite." The abundance of potassium found in bananas also helps relieve edema, while the fruit's fiber and antioxidant polyphenol are good for the skin and prevent constipation. But with one banana containing about 100 calories, is it okay to eat a lot of them? "It's okay to eat three to four bananas until you feel full," the Watanabes advise. "If you eat slowly, chewing as many times as you can, you will feel full after just two bananas. If you eat only low-calorie foods and exercise too much, your body will feel tired all day. This will transform your body into the type that gains weight easily. What is important is to go to bed before midnight, get a good night's sleep, and regularly eat foods that help relieve fatigue." But, the diet inventors caution, if you grow tired of eating bananas, stop immediately, as nothing is more harmful to dieting than stress.

Child kidnappers will soon follow sexual abusers in wearing electronic monitoring anklets beginning Sunday, ministry officials said yesterday. An expanded version of the law on the regulation of sexual offenders that includes child kidnappers requires the attaching of the electronic devises on specific offenders to come into effect this Sunday, said officials of the Justice Ministry yesterday. So far, only rapists and sexual harassers were required to wear the device. When a convict who has been put to jail is likely to reoffend, the prosecutor is to request the court to order the person to wear an electronic anklet, according to the new law. Unlike sexual offenders, kidnappers may receive this punishment upon a first offence, when the court acknowledges the dangers of a second offense. The maximum wearing period stated by law is 10 years, and the convict may also be restricted from going out at night or specific times or from entering certain areas. The person has to report to a probation officer when changing address or traveling overseas. He or she may be sentenced to a maximum jail term of seven years or face a fine of up to 20 million won ($16,340) when attempting to remove the anklet or block its signal. "The new law shows that the subjects of the electronic anklet system may be expanded to a wider range of crimes, based on the social requirements," said a ministry official.
