A good night’s sleep is often the key to feeling happier and more energized every day. If you’re lacking in some serious zzzz’s, we recommend trying this organic banana peel tea. With this simple recipe, you can get the benefits of the potassium and magnesium in the banana peel. Potassium and magnesium are beneficial for the nervous system and are great for relaxing the muscles. In fact, magnesium is the most important mineral for muscle relaxation and can reduce muscle cramps along with other aches and pains. Plus, banana peels are also full of ingredients that increase levels of serotonin in the brain.
When you are stressed, guess which mineral is depleted from the body first? Magnesium, which is why it’s so important to ensure you have enough magnesium in your diet to cope with stress, and help you to relax and fall asleep.
To start, you’ll need at least one organic banana, one small pot of water, and if you’d like a bit of extra flavor, you can add some cinnamon.
Now, slice off either end of your banana and place the banana and peel into your boiling water. Let it boil for about 10 minutes. Then, using a colander for filtration, pour the boiled liquid into a mug. Let it cool a little bit, and enjoy.
Cinnamon is great because it is one of the best ways to balance blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are balanced, your hormones can function in a way that allows for better sleep. If your blood sugar levels are off, then you may have energy at night, or be tired during the day.
