The Bananas 4 Best-Kept Secrets Revealed
It’s a known fact that we share half our DNA with the banana. So, when you say “you are what you eat,” you’re not far off the mark here. Cyclists appreciate the benefits of eating bananas during long rides but the banana has even more benefits to share with us. Consider the following:
Secret #1: Leather cycling shoes and saddles can be polished using a de-stringed banana peel. Buff with a soft cloth after use to bring leather back to life.
Secret #2: Mash a medium-sized banana with a quarter cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons honey to make a compound for a skin-restoring facial. Apply and leave for 20 minutes for optimal results.
Secret #3: In the event that you suffer minor scrapes, rub the wound with the inside of a banana peel for immediate relief.
Secret #4: Have planter’s warts? Not to worry. Rub the rascals with the inside of a banana peel daily for approximately 6 weeks. This is superior to Tom Sawyer’s stump water remedy.
