Boil Bananas Before Bed, Drink The Liquid And You Will Not Believe What Happens To Your Sleep!

If you’re looking for a bedtime tea which both tastes good and helps you sleep, then this banana tea might just be what you need. Stress, anxiety, late night eating, certain medications, blood pressure pills, pain killers and frequent use of mobile phones can lead to insomnia and sleeping disorders. Although some off-the-counter medications help you fall asleep easily, they can trigger off long-term health complications.

Bananas are rich in potassium and magnesium, but what most people do not know is that the banana peel has, even more, potassium and magnesium than the banana itself. While magnesium helps prevent sleep disturbances, both magnesium and potassium work together to help relax muscles.

IMPORTANT NOTE : YOU WILL ENSURE THAT YOU USE ONLY ORGANIC BANANAS AS THE GMO (GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS) ONES HAVE CHEMICALS SUCH AS PESTICIDES ON THEIR PEEL THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RINSE OFF AND YOU WILL NEED THE BANANA PEEL FOR THIS RECIPE.

HOW DO YOU TELL IF BANANA IS ORGANIC? IT’S EASY TO FIND OUT – SIMPLY READ THE STICKER!

The labels on fruits and veggies will have a 4 or 5 digit code. If it has 5 digits, and begins with a 9, it means that the produce was organically grown. If your produce has 4 digits, it means that it was “conventionally grown, but not organic”.

BANANA TEA RECIPE:

Ingredients

• 1 organic banana (with peel)
• 1 small pot of water
• a dash of cinnamon (optional)

All you need to do is cut off both ends of the banana and place it, peel and all, into boiling water. Boil it for around 10 minutes and then strain the water into a mug. Sprinkle some cinnamon if you want to. Drink it one hour before bed time.

Ever Wondered Why Do Sports Athletes Wear That Colored Tape On Their Body?

Have you ever wondered why the some athletes wear that colourful tape across their body? If you’ve been watching the sports, you’ve probably seen some athletes wearing weird tape (mostly blue) on various parts of their bodies. Many international sports stars including Novak Djokovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dale Steyn wear this tape.

Novak Djokovic has been wearing the tape during his Wimbledon matches.

The tape is known as the Kinesio (or just ‘k’) tape. It is an elastic sports and fitness tape designed for muscle, ligament and tendon pain relief and support. Athletes use the tape as a kind of elastic brace that helps to give rest to stressed muscles and relieve pain.

HOW IT WORKS

The start and end points of a stressed muscle are identified by a physiotherapist in the lab. Both ends are then tied together with the Kinesio tape which relives the stress on the muscles by limiting its movement further (by lifting the skin), even if the athlete goes through his/her daily training routines.

Designed to mimic human skin, with roughly the same thickness and elastic properties, the tape can be stretched 30–40% in the longitudinal direction. The cotton fibers allow for evaporation and quicker drying leading to longer wear time, up to 4 days.

The tape and technique were developed by Kenso Kase thirty years ago in Japan. The company website says that:

“[It] alleviates discomfort and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. [The Kinesio Tape can be] applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused or tired muscles, and support muscles in movement on a 24-hour-a-day basis.”
