Surprising Uses for Banana Peels

After Reading This, You Will Never Throw Away Your Banana Peel Again!

Bananas are an awesome fruit. They taste good, make excellent phones, and come in their own handy packaging. You might eat that delicious banana and then compost the peel, but did you know that it actually has lots of worthwhile benefits?Banana Peels are full of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, so next time you enjoy a banana, hang onto the peel and try out some of these awesome uses.
While not always scientific, many people will attest to the validity of these hacks.

Here are some surprising uses for banana peels:

Relieve mosquito bites

Many people believe that rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite will help to relieve the itching and reduce the swelling. There isn't any scientific proof to back this up, though it might be because the banana peel draws fluid from the bite. Wait until you're inside and not going back out, however, as a banana might actually attract mosquitoes outside.

Polish shoes

A great alternative to shoe polish is a banana peel. Simply rub your shoe with the inside of the peel. When you're done, buff the shoes with a soft cloth. Bananas are full of potassium, which is also in shoe polish. Plus, the banana's natural oils soak into leather which helps make your shoes last longer!

Whiten teeth

The potassium in banana peels is thought to help whiten your teeth. Choose a banana that looks just ripe, which is when the potassium levels are optimal. Open it from the bottom end upward, then rub the inside of the peel against your teeth until they're completely coated in banana paste. Apply for at least two minutes, and leave the paste for about ten. When you're done, brush your teeth with toothpaste to remove the residue.

Remove warts

Many believe that applying a banana peel to a wart each night helps to heal warts and keep them from coming back. First, cut a piece of ripe banana peel large enough to cover the area. Put the inside against your skin, and secure it using medical tape. Leave it overnight, and remove the peel in the morning. You should notice an improvement after the first use, and you can continue until it's gone.

Tenderize meat

If you're worried about your meat drying out while it cooks, try adding a ripe banana peel to the pan. It should keep your meat juicy.

Remove splinters

According to everyone's favorite tv doctor, Dr. Oz, banana peels can help to remove slivers. Cover the splinter with the inside of a banana peel and secure it using medical tape. Leave it for a few hours or overnight. Supposedly the enzymes in the peel soften the skin, meaning the splinter will come right out.

Heal bruises

A home remedy for healing a bruise is to apply a banana peel to the skin. You can either rub the banana peel on the bruise, or tape it on overnight.

Polish silver

A banana peel can help to reclaim the shine on mildly tarnished silver. All you need to do is blend a few banana peels with some water. Rub the polish onto the silverware, then wash it off and dry it with a clean cloth.

Diminish the appearance of wrinkles

Rubbing the inside of a banana peel on wrinkles is thought to help reduce their appearance and prevent future lines. Apparently the antioxidants and vitamin C present in bananas boosts collagen production and helps with circulation.

Help acne

You can rub the inside of a banana peel on your blemished face for about ten minutes to help treat acne. You're advised not to wash your face afterward as the residue continues to work on your skin after you've finished rubbing.

Homemade Eczema Cream Recipe

Homemade skin cream is super simple to make… and so much safer than steroid creams or other non-so-friendly toxin-laden over-the-counter treatments and eczema creams  so often used for dry, rash-infected skin. But this skin cream is perfect for anyone, even if your skin is glowing and healthy!

Homemade Skin Cream: A look at the ingredients

Coconut Oil: A personally favorite for any homemade creams and lotions. Because of coconut oil’s anti-viral, antibacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties it’s often found in plenty of beauty and personal care recipes. *If you are allergic to coconut oil just double the shea butter and leave this out. Or replace it with olive or jojoba oil.
Shea Butter:  One of my favorite ingredients and a perfect moisturizer that heals the skin wonderfully. It is rich in Vitamin A and mimics the natural moisturize produced by our skin.
Melrose Essential Oil: This is a blend of Melaleuca (tea tree), Naouli, Rosemary and Clove essential oils. This power combo has amazing properties to support healthy skin.
Lavender Essential Oil: Another oil that is known for its tissue health. It shares a lot of the same properties as Melrose. It’s a tried and true essential oil for skin health.
Vitamin E Oil: Great for the skin, and a natural preservative. I usually add a little of this to all my homemade beauty products.
All of these ingredients are safe for babies and young children, but this cream will work for adults, too!
 
Read the recipe. Let`s do it!

Ingredients:
 
1/4 cup coconut oil (soft or melted)
 1/4 cup shea butter
1/2 tsp. Vitamin E Oil
25 drops of Melrose Essential Oil
15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E oil. Stir or whisk well.
2. Add in essential oils, stir until well incorporated.
Transfer the cream to a container. You can store this at room temperature, but if your home is warm (above 76 degrees) it may get a little “melty.” It will still do the trick but might be a little messy. If this is the case, simple store in the refrigerator.
Makes about 4 oz.

Natural Room Scents

 

 

 These recipes are simply guidelines and don't have to be followed exactly.

  How to Make Natural Room Scents

Fragrant items for naturally scenting your home:

• citrus -Citrus is sturdier, longer-lasting, and gives these scent recipes freshness. Lemons and oranges are particularly fragrant and have the best staying power in these scented waters.
• herbs -- Any herb can be used for making a room scent, but the ones that are sturdier and on woody twigs hold up the best. My favorites for room scents are rosemary and thyme.
• pine or cedar twigs/needles -- There may be other fragrant trees that will work, too; pine and cedar are the two I've tried for their appealing, fresh fragrance.
• extracts -- A touch of vanilla or almond extract improves most room fragrance mixtures. Mint extract has a nice fresh scent. You can also use whole vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract; pricey but amazingly fragrant. 
• spices -- You can use ground or whole sweet spices. The whole spices look prettier, if your scented water will be in a location where it will be seen. I have found that cinnamon sticks and whole cloves have the most scent staying power. Cinnamon sticks can be rinsed off and reused several times. They keep on giving.

 

 

 

Ingredients 

 

• Citrus, sliced -- lemons, oranges, limes (may use peel only, if preferred)
• Herbs -- rosemary, thyme, & bay leaves
• Spices-- whole cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice (optional), anise (optional); may substitute ground/powdered spices
• Ginger (fresh or powdered)
• Extracts--vanilla, almond, mint
• Pine twigs (or other fragrant twigs)

Directions

Use a pint (2 cup) jar, container, or pot to combine scent waters. Add ingredients to container, cover with water, and choose from these options:
--simmer on stove top, topping off with more water as it evaporates
--add heated mixture to a slow cooker, fondue pot, or something similar that will keep mixture heated. Preheat waters to a boil (in microwave or on stove top). As water evaporates, always top it off with HOT water to keep the temperature as high as possible. Higher heat = more fragrance.

 

FRAGRANT COMBINATIONS:

1. Orange, Cinnamon & Spice. 1 orange, 2 cinnamon sticks (or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon), 1/2 tablespoon whole cloves (or 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves), 1/2 tablespoon whole allspice (or 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice), 1 anise star (optional)

 

This scent carries into multiple rooms better, and it can be reheated to scent your rooms for several days.

2. Lemon, Rosemary & Vanilla. 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, 2 lemons, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

3. Lime, Thyme, Mint & Vanilla. 3 limes, 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon mint extract, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

 

This combination has such a fresh, pleasant scent.

4. Orange, Ginger, & Almond. 1 orange (or peel from 2 oranges), one 4" finger of ginger, sliced (or 1 tsp ground ginger), 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

 

This is a sweet, delicious scent.

5. Pine, Bay Leaves, & Nutmeg. Handful of pine twigs or needles, 4 bay leaves, 1 whole nutmeg, outer layer grated into mixture.

 

Scented waters may be refrigerated between uses. Reuse for 2-3 days, or as long as they still have a pleasant fragrance. 

 

These scents combine for a complex aroma. If you have whole nutmeg, use a microplane to grate off the outer surface--this will release the scent. Add the whole nutmeg piece along with the gratings.

 

Cost saving tips

You can save, use and reuse a number of fragrant ingredients. These scents don't need to be expensive.

• Leftover ginger --  If you ever cook with fresh ginger and end up with leftover pieces , this is a way to use them up before they spoil. Slice the leftover ginger and freeze it in a bag or container to have on hand for whipping up a quick batch of scented water. 
• Save your orange peels -- When you eat an orange, save the peel for use in scented waters. Store them in the refrigerator or freezer until you need them.
• Save your juiced lemons and limes -- After you've juiced these for use in a recipe, refrigerate or freeze the leftover pieces.
• Save your leftover herbs -- If you have herbs in a garden or have leftover herbs that you've purchased for cooking, they can be frozen and saved for use in these scented waters.
• Use expired juices. If you have fruit juices that are past their prime, use them as a base in place of the water in these mixtures. They're both fragrant and colorful.
• Use expired spices. Spices are supposed to be replaced after a year, because they lose much of their flavor. But, they still smell good! Instead of throwing out old spices, use them for scenting water.

10 Best Power Foods for Women

It’s true: You are what you eat. So if you want to be a health-powered woman, load your plate with these 10 tasty power foods. Packed with vitamins, minerals and other super nutrients that women need, power foods will keep you trim, boost your health and help kick disease to the curb.

1. APPLES boost immunity

Smart and sweet, apples are rich in quercetin, an antioxidant that can bolster your body's disease-fighting abilities. In one study from Appalachian State University, just 5 percent of people who ate more quercetin came down with a respiratory infection over a two-week period, compared to 45 percent of those who didn't.

2. BROCCOLI fights wrinkles

"A cup of broccoli has 100 percent of your vitamin C—crucial for production of collagen, which gives skin elasticity,” says Tammy Lakatos Shames, R.D. It's also rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This vitamin assists in cell turnover, so old skin cells are replaced with fresh  ones.

3. SPINACH is dense with key nutrients

This leafy green is high in vitamin K and also contains calcium and magnesium – a combo that may help slow the breakdown of bone that occurs as you get older – as well as folate, a B vitamin that helps prevent birth defects. And it packs just 7 calories per cup raw!

4. MUSHROOMS deliver cancer-fighting antioxidants

 One study showed that women who ate just one third of an ounce of raw mushrooms a day (that's about one button mushroom) had a 64 percent reduction in breast cancer risk. Other research suggests that mushrooms reduce the effects of aromatase, a protein that helps produce estrogen – a major factor in some breast cancers.

5. AVOCADOS help flatten your belly

Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, which has been shown to help you drop weight, including from your troublesome middle. In one study, people who got the most monos (about 23 percent of their daily calories) had about 5 pounds less belly fat than those who ate a high-carb, lower-fat diet.

6. DARK CHOCOLATE stops stress and fights disease

European researchers found that people who ate an ounce and a half of dark chocolate – about 200 calories worth—every day for two weeks produced less of the stress hormone cortisol and reported feeling less frazzled. Cortisol causes a temporary rise in blood pressure; consistently high levels up your risk for depression, obesity, heart disease and more.

7. PARMESAN CHEESE strengthens bones

Calcium is key for preventing osteoporosis (especially in your 20s). Yogurt and nonfat milk help, but who wants them three times a day? Work Parmesan cheese into your diet; its 340 mg of calcium per ounce – compared to about 200 mg in cheddar or Swiss – goes a long way toward your 1000 mg/day quota.

8. LENTILS build your iron stores

Low-calorie lentils pack about 30 percent of your daily iron per cup cooked. About 12 percent of young women have low iron stores – at the extreme, that leads to anemia. But one study found that even women who were iron deficient (not anemic) had poorer performances on skill tests than those with normal levels.

9. POTATOES pack healthy carbs

Potatoes contain a fat-fighting compound called resistant starch that can help keep weight in check. One medium spud with the skin will run you just around 100 calories, and with more potassium than bananas, potatoes also help fight heart disease by keeping blood pressure low.

10. SARDINES fight heart disease

These pungent little fish are good sources of omega-3 acids, which decrease inflammation that can lead to blocked arteries. They also prevent blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes, and keep blood vessels smooth and supple. Three ounces of sardines have about 1.3 grams of omega-3s (you need about 1 gram a day).
