Researchers in Taiwan discovered banana peel extract can ease depression as it is rich in serotonin, the mood-balancing chemical. The skin was also found to be good for eyes, as it contains the antioxidant lutein which protects eye cells from exposure to ultraviolet light — a leading cause of cataracts.
在臺灣省的研究者發現香蕉皮的提取汁富含血清素,這種化學物質可以起到安撫人們情緒的效果。此外,香蕉皮富含“葉黃素”,它可以防止紫外線對眼睛的侵害、更可以避免患白內障的風險。
HOW TO EAT IT: The research team advises boiling the peel for ten minutes and drinking the cooled water or putting it through a juicer and drinking the juice.
食用方法:建議用開水將香蕉皮“煮”10分鐘,等水涼以后,飲水水即可。或可以混合其他果汁一起飲用。
