Uses Of Banana Peels

We usually disposed the peels of a banana in the garbage.However, there are varios uses of these peels. Below are some :

1. Polish silverware and leather shoes

• A great way to put the shine back into your silverware and leather shoes. First, remove any of the leftover stringy material from the inside of the peel, then just start rubbing the inside of the peel on your shoes or silver. When you’re done, buff up the object with a paper towel or soft cloth.

2. Tenderize a roast

•  If banana leaves are used in Asian countries to wrap and cook foods, maybe the banana peel itself can help in similar ways.

3. Make a face mask

• You can use a banana as an all-natural face mask that moisturizes your skin and leaves it looking and feeling softer. Mash up a medium-sized ripe banana into a smooth paste, then gently apply it to your face and neck. Let it set for 10-20 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water

4. Bug bites

• Rub a banana peel on bug bites to soothe the skin and reduce itching.

5. Pain reliever

Foods To Keep You Young

OLIVE OIL

Contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases. Also the monounsaturated fats in olive oil are largely responsible for the low rates of heart disease and cancer.

 YOGURT

Rich in calcium which helps stave off osteoporosis and contains 'good bacteria' that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness. 

 FISH

It is an abundant source of omega-3 fats which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries and protect against abnormal heart rhythms.

CHOCOLATES

Rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. It also maintains youthful blood vessels which lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

NUTS

Rich sources of unsaturated fats which offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They are also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants.

 BLUEBERRIES

Compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function.
