14 Reasons Why You Should Love Bananas

I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas. No seriously, bananas are great, and if you don't like them, I don't know what's wrong with you.

1. They make any smoothie wonderfully delicious

2. They give you energy before your workout, so you can party later!

3. Bananas get rid of puffy eyes

4. Bananas help overcome depression due high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin -- the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.

5. Bananas help fight against muscle cramps during workouts

6. The obvious - Potassium! It's good for your health!

Potassium acts as a buffer to neutralize the acids broken down from the metabolism of food. It can also lower blood pressure and when the body needs calories, potassium assists the breakdown of glycogen to provide energy for the brain and nervous system.

7. Eat one before a test, and you'll be more alert (and smarter)

8. Got a hangover? Eat a banana and it's cured!

Especially with some yogurt and honey. Bam! Tasty and it makes you feel better

9. They are a great natural moisturizer

To instantly moisturise dry and dull skin, mash a ripe banana and apply it on your face. Avoid contact with eyes. Leave it on your skin for 20-25 minutes and then wash it away with lukewarm water. You will instantly feel skin looking soft and supple.

If you extremely dry and flaky skin, you can also add honey to this face mask.

Another easy face mask to get moisturised skin is to mash half a ripe banana and mix it with 1 tbsp. yogurt and 1 tsp. Vitamin E oil. Apply it generously on a clean face and wash it away after 30 minutes

10. Bananas are great for making hair soft, shiny, and healthy!

For soft hair - Mix ripe banana with avocado and add coconut milk to the mixture. Apply it on your hair and wait for 15-20 minutes.

For shiny/healthy hair - Peel a banana and add 1/4 cup of olive oil and one egg white and put in a blender. Puree for a couple of minutes. Let it stay on your hair for 15 minutes followed by hair wash with your favourite shampoo and conditioner

11. Got itchy skin? BANANA GOT YOU

Just rub the banana peel on the effective area and you will feel the itching and swelling subside.
