Eat a banana every day. All wrapped up in its own fluorescent jacket, easy to eat - preferably with your breakfast - anytime is good.
For a start they are a fantastic bright and cheerful colour to start the day with and they are a funny shape which never quite fits into your lunchbox so you often end up eating it on the way to work!
Bananas are nature’s good mood food, because the tryptophan in bananas converts to serotonin and may naturally help sufferers overcome ‘the blues’. They are naturally low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium - vitamins A, B and even a little C!
Great as a stress buster, it is also said that they can ease morning sickness and PMS, so that’s one to remember for all the guys reading this... however it might be a good idea to give the goddess in your life a box of dark choccies as well as a banana at that time of the month!
And if you are suffering from a hangover and find yourself muttering “never again”, a good homemade remedy is to make up a banana shake drink - blitzed in a blender with some milk and honey – makes it almost worth it!
One of our favourite ways to make sure we get some of this fantastic all round HERB (yes, apparently it is actually a very large herb, not a tree at all) is to bake a yummy banana loaf, delicious eaten warm from the oven and spread with a little bit of butter.
We think they taste great no matter how you eat them so feel free to go bananas and enjoy all those health giving benefits!
