I'm BANANAS for BANANA'S!!!!


Happy Tuesday Everybody!!!


1. Two bananas can provide enough energy for a 60-90 minute workout (add some nuts for an extra punch)

2. PMS- B6 in bananas can regulate our blood sugar levels ladies = better mood :)

3. Constipation: Nobody likes to speak of it :( but bananas contain fiber, which can aid in restoration of regularity.

4. Mosquito Bites: What?? Rub affected area with the inside of the skin. Must try this summer!

5. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in our blood = could help with anemia.

6. Brain Food: Research has shown that the potassium can assist in learning by making students more assertive.

7. Blood Pressure: High in potassium and low in salt, makes this fruit a great option to reduce risk of blood pressure.

8. Hangovers: Reach for a banana or make a banana, protein smoothie to help balance blood sugar levels and re-hydrate your dehydrated body :)

9. Heartburn: Eat a banana for a natural antacid effect.
