Choco Banana Muffins
Along with the oatmeal cookie that I prepared last Saturday, I also baked Choco Banana Muffins which were almost gone last Sunday after our Sacrament service, yet gladly I was some were left for my officemates to taste. Our ref never ran out of bananas since Jay, a friend of mine who have lost about 20 pounds in the period 6 months, warned me to stop my no daily breakfast regimen which causes lower blood sugar level that might lead to brain degeneration and suggested me that I instead should be eating bananas each morning.
Bananas provide greater benefits than most fruits. It contains carbohydrates and B vitamins as energy booster which makes it best to eat at the start of the day. It has a combination of vitamin C, A and high potassium level which helps reduce water retention. It is also a rich source of fiber and iron.
Bananas are helpful if you have ulcer, diarrhea, tummy upsets and constipation and improve blood pressure. It contains tryptophan, a type of protein that converts to serotonin. Serotonin is influential in promoting relaxation which makes a person feel happy. So when you feel gloomy and moody, grub a banana.
Bananas are not only good for health but also benefits beauty. Bananas can be used as a facial to relieve dry skin – mash a banana and add honey, apply over skin, leave for 10 minutes and rinse water. This one I haven’t tried, remove warts by covering them with the inner skin of the banana. I’ll have an update with this one.
Bananas are used in salads, desserts, breads, candies, jams and chips.
