6. Helps Treat Depression
On a more serious issue, banana peels have also been known to help treat depression. Banana peels are rich in serotonin, a mono amino transmitter that helps tremendously in boosting your mood, which in turn makes you feel good. It also contains tryptophan, which helps promote a more relaxed sleep. Both nutrients help greatly when dealing with depression. While it’s not easy eating a banana peel, as it is a bit bitter, thick and fibrous, there are ways to still eat this healthy peel. You can blend it into a smoothie, scrape the inner peel and add to your tea, or fry it to make banana peel chips. On top of this, seek professional and family support if you are suffering from depression.
