Bananas may help Insomnia

Eating 1 or 2 bananas at night help relax the muscles in your body with a neuro-protective effect.

Bananas contain chelated magnesium and chelated potassium and it is these 2 minerals which primarily help relax your muscles and de-stress your brain.

Magnesium has many healthy benefits, one of them being battling against insomnia, helping many people to sleep better, longer and even faster.

The chelated magnesium in a banana helps regulate your brain and helps regulate your hormones.

Alternatively there is another way of getting a bigger boost of magnesium, potassium and cinnamon before you sleep.

It is banana and cinnamon tea and can only be made using "Organic" Bananas.

Banana Cinnamon Tea

According to davidwolfe.com "Stress and electromagnetic frequencies from mobile phones, computers, and other electronics play a role in disrupting our body's harmonic balance.

Bright lights when we are trying to sleep, such as white light and blue light, can also effect our nervous system and sleep hormones, which ultimately disruptively influence our quality of sleep."

"One very simple way to help alleviate this night stress and get better quality sleep at night is to drink cinnamon tea before retiring"

Did you know this?

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, and it is typically thrown away as rubbish.

How to best utilize the skin

• Firstly, get your banana and carefully wash the skin
• Then peel the banana
• Either wrap the fruit in GladWrap and place in the fridge, or simply eat it

Before we start

Please always use organic banana skins because if you use regular banana skins, then you will be also drinking harmful chemicals.

How to make

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 peeled organic banana skins (organic means no toxic chemicals)
• 1 saucepan of clean water
• A sprinkle of cinnamon

Proceedure

• Gently wash the skins using warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly in cold water
• Place the clean Banana skins into the saucepan containing the water
• Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes
• Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then add the cinnamon. (maximum of 1/4 teaspoon)

Stir and serve. Please avoid adding any sugar - this is because sugar removes magnesium from the body. Google | Dr Mark Sircus | ResearchGate

BTW

By the way, you can make this tea during the day and store in the fridge so that it is easier to consume before you go to bed.

Why Cinnamon?

Cinnamon is great because it is one of the best natural ways to balance blood sugar levels so when blood sugar levels are balanced, your hormones can function in a way that allows for better sleep.

CAUTIONS:

Always buy and use cinnamon from Sri Lanka (AKA: Celon)
AVOID "CASSIA" cinnamon (from China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia) as this may have a negative affect on your liver if you ingest too much.
REMEMBER, Sri Lanka cinnamon is best.
