It is not new that the consumption of fruit is advisable to support the body and the organism. When consumed in the right quantities and ways, these foods may be able to aid health. In fact, we often found ourselves giving advice on which fruits or vegetables could be useful for certain aspects. For example, in terms of fighting cholesterol and fatty liver, we had highlighted the potential beneficial effects of apples.
But it does not end there, because if it is true that some foods could be health allies, even once eaten, they can reserve valuable benefits for the home.
With vitamins and minerals, not only would this fruit help the heart and muscles but it will make terraces and balconies fabulous
We talked about it saying how many throw the squeezed lemons not knowing that they can still be very useful.
Instead, below we will discuss how a simple banana could help the health of the body and that of plants.
The reasons why bananas would support the heart and muscles and, at the same time, also the plants, would be the presence of vitamins and minerals. When it comes to cardiovascular and muscle health, bananas could provide support thanks to the abundance of phytosterols.
These include campesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol.
Moreover, thanks to the fibers contained, bananas could also prove to be allies of good digestion. But the element that accumulates the benefits for muscles and plant health is potassium. Bananas are said to be an interesting source of this precious mineral which not only contributes to muscle contraction and pressure balance, but also enriches soils.
How to strengthen the plants of terraces and balconies
Once the banana pulp has been consumed, the peels can be used as a super fertilizer for some vegetables. In fact, thanks to the abundance of potassium, bananas contribute to the growth of stems and branches but also in the coloring of the petals and in the intensity of the aromas.
Furthermore, potassium helps plants in the synthesis of nutrients and their distribution in the plant cells. Banana peel fertilizers seem to be very effective for roses and flowers in general, but also for vegetables such as tomatoes or tubers such as potatoes.
To make a natural fertilizer we can leave banana peels to macerate in water and then neubulate it on the plants. Alternatively, the peels can be cut into pieces and buried directly in the ground.
With vitamins and minerals not only this fruit will be useful for our health but also for our plants.
