The story that banana and cinnamon are good and useful is well known, but did you know that together they are even more so?
That’s right: the fruit’s blend of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, combined with the spice’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, creates an ideal combination to completely relax and even defeat insomnia. For this reason, it makes sense to take the preparation that we show you below about an hour before bedtime.
Here’s what you need to do.
Cooking the banana and cinnamon together in the evening – this solves an annoying problem!
Both the peel and the fruit of the banana can be used for the infusion. Let’s take a look at the first one first.
If possible, peel an organic banana, wash the peel carefully and place it in a pot of cold water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove the peel with tongs and insert the cinnamon stick. Let it steep for a few minutes and then turn off the heat. Pour the resulting infusion into a good hot tea and sip it.
Banana and cinnamon together give many benefits!
If you want, you can also use the real banana instead of the peel.
Peel it and pour it into a pot of cold water. However, remember to pre-cut the ends of the fruit with a knife. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes and add the cinnamon stick to the pot when the infusion is almost ready. Turn off the heat, filter the liquid, and slowly take a warm sip and enjoy it to the fullest, sip by sip. Drink it an hour before bed and it will help you sleep more deeply and restfully.
Banana and cinnamon together are expected to have natural and important calming and relaxing properties, perfect after an intense and stressful day and to better cope with the night ahead.
And not only that: the properties of both ingredients go much further. Cinnamon, without abusing it, is excellent for cardiovascular problems and is also said to prevent cancer, while banana, in addition to many important benefits, is also good for the muscles and strengthens the immune system. Not to mention, a hot drink is very pleasant, especially in the evening when it is still cold.
In addition, what we are showing you is also super cheap: what more could you want? Then, if you opt for the peeled version (you can also alternate them as you wish), you’re recycling an ingredient that is usually thrown away. A good way to do something good for yourself and do something for the environment at the same time, right?
