Drinking banana peel stew, these are 5 health benefits
FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Banana is a sweet and soft fruit that is popular all over the world. However, its thick, fibrous skin is a less popular source of nutrients.
However, contrary to what many people believe, banana peels are not only safe to eat, they also offer a number of health benefits.
The following is the explanation, as reported by the Genpi.co page.
- Sleep better
Drinking banana peel boiled water can help you sleep better.
This is because banana peels contain tryptophan, a compound that makes you more sleepy after consuming large meals. Because, tryptophan increases serotonin levels which help regulate sleep patterns and improve rest quality.
