Fruit of the Month: Benefits of the Banana

Posted by Samia

This fruit of the month is the banana because its so fun and yellow!

Just kidding, its because i got attacked by a mosquito yesterday night. Now i have mosquito bites all over me and it BURNS! The only thing that has ever helped me with the burning of mosquito bites are tadaaaaa...... BANANAS :D! You're probably thinking "this girl is crazy" no, im serious, really. Here's what you do:

1. Take a perfectly yellow banana (that means not too green, not too black-ish yellow) and take it out of its peeling. If you want to eat it you can, just do whatever you want with the inside of the banana. The peeling is what you need!

2. Take the inside of the banana peeling (the white part) and rub it onto your mosquito bite until it starts to get really slimy (it sounds gross but it feels so good). Tip: i freeze my banana peeling until its just about hard, and then i rub it on. That cools the bite and makes it feel even better.

3. When you're finished rubbing just let it dry onto your skin and you will be itchy-less (is that a word?) for the rest of the day :)

Another thing bananas are good for is teeth whitening

How to whiten your teeth with bananas: 

1. Rub the inside of the banana peeling on your teeth. 

2. Don't talk for about 5 seconds

3. Rinse your mouth. 

And that's all! You should see results within a week :D  

That's all for now. I hope this ity bit of banana brilliance benefited you.
