Toss The Lard In The Yard!

My blog is dedicated to any human (and maybe pets too!) who are eager to learn about health tips and share them with others.

My purpose: I have stacks of various health magazines! I wanted to figure out how I can continue using them, instead of throwing them all away. These magazines have so many excellent tips on health and wellness.

So, using my iPhone and Nikon D40, I am going to photograph all the various healthy tips found in all these magazines and post them here for you to use!

You and I will benefit. Our lives will be enriched!

"...Hey! Did you know Chiquita has Organic Banana's now?!!!"...














..."Nooo, that's exciting news to me!"

While Im posting about
B-A-N-A-N-A-S, we might as well discuss nature's big yellow treats!

Potassium...DUH!!!  - Bananas are a very good source of vitamin B6 and a good source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, and manganese. (thanks WHFOODS for your info!)
Many just think Potassium as the highest source of nutrients...but infact, Banana's are quite high in Vitamin B6, about 36% of our Daily Value!
Who may need extra vitamin B6 (an extra Banana a day) to prevent a deficiency?
[According to Dietary Supplement Facts http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitaminb6.asp] Individuals with a poor quality diet or an inadequate B6 intake for an extended period may benefit from taking a vitamin B6 supplement if they are unable to increase their dietary intake of vitamin B6 [1,15]. Alcoholics and older adults are more likely to have inadequate vitamin B6 intakes than other segments of the population because they may have limited variety in their diet. Alcohol also promotes the destruction and loss of vitamin B6 from the body.

    Love freezing a few bananas and making it into a shake. One banana 2 C's a milk 6-10 ice cubes depending on the size a tsp of vanilla blend and yum. Little bit of ice cream if you don't care about calories. :)

    Thanks for the facts!
