BANAna BOMb

6 fun facts why they’re great

Bananas. In the past I would never let one even enter my home. I always thought they mad you fat (as a teenager I only looked at pictures of models that didn’t eat bananas). I know better now, so much better that I eat a few a week. Delicious in a smoothie or bowl of quark. Call Doutzen and she will tell you she always has those yellow things in her fruit bowl. Just like Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bündchen and Victoria Beckham. Bananas are the bomb and here are a few facts about these crooked friends of ours. So I hope you will open your home to these yellow critters.

– Eating two bananas provides enough energy to do a 90-minute workout.

– Bananas contain fiber, good for your digestion, we all want that.

– Bananas contain calium which keeps us alert. Very handy when you feel a bit dozy but they are also a good idea      when you feel stressed.

– A banana helps when you have a hangover because it contains magnesium, which relaxes the blood veins and eases your headache.

– The banana tree is not a tree, it’s an enormous plant.

– Put a banana beside another piece of unripe fruit and it will be ripe in two days.

– Bananas contain tryptophan, a substance that makes you feel happy and content.

– This is how you make banana ice cream; put a banana in the freezer overnight without the skin. Take it out and let it thaw just a little, then into the food processor. Your delicious ice cream is ready.
