It's BANANAS!

Yes, we went B-A-N-A-N-A-S in Dance Conditioning today

while eating this delicious fruit.... and learning its importance in our diets.  

Bananas: 

• FULL of potassium, which helps maintain normal blood pressure and heart function, while being low in sodium 
• reduces muscle cramps after physical activity! 
• high in fiber to keep us heart healthy --- and specifically pectin, a soluble fiber, help regulate the digestive tract
• replenishes electrolytes lost when sweating 
• contains about 15% of your daily Vitamin C intake 
• full of good carbs to give an energy boost after a workout 
• full of nutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, carotene and choline

So grab a banana, then toss the peel outside because it's BIODEGRADABLE and good for the environment... thanks Dierdre, for this Earth friendly recommendation!
