So after a long vacation, thanks to the disruptive aspects of holidays, personal milestones, and then Covid-19, it’s time to get back on the topic of staying healthy.
This week I have been sitting facing the Intercoastal Waterway in Florida, watching gulls and boats swoosh by my windows. I have also spent some time walking along the boardwalks, across a bridge, and around the community, and suddenly the lack of exercise over the past several months has raised its head as achy knees and sore muscles.
As it turns out, one of my go-tos for aches and pains is a cream infused with magnesium, and / or magnesium and CBD mixed. There is one problem with that plan, if you take off for the beach and forget your magnesium cream!
DOWN and DIRTY way to solve an achy problem…
SO I got to thinking, would I be able to extract some magnesium goodness from the organic banana in my fruit basket? Just this week I had happened on a Facebook post that shared how to extract the minerals from banana peels for your garden or house plants. (Here’s the LINK if you are interested!) And a few clicks later, I found this great banana focused report published in Science Alert (who just happens to mention they gleaned some of the facts from Business Insider.)
My down and dirty solution was to cut a piece of banana peel and massage it over the sore spot on my knee. Surprisingly, or not, the soreness went away. Either the massage helped, which I am sure it did, or the banana peel goodness leached out enough to be absorbed into the skin, or both. Regardless, I am pleased with the results!
NEXT TIME… Next time I leave home, I’ll be sure to pack a small jar of magnesium/CBD cream.
By the Way, are you looking for a good quality magnesium/CBD Oil cream? Message me here! I have had excellent results with a local brand, and I’ll be happy to share my source!
