🔥 Instructions:
Wash the banana thoroughly.
If it’s not organic, peel it. If it is, keep the peel on — that’s where most of the magnesium is.
Cut off both ends of the banana and slice it into large chunks.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the banana pieces.
Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Strain the water into a mug.
Add cinnamon or honey if you wish, and stir gently.
Drink it warm, about 30–45 minutes before bed.
⏰ Best Time to Drink
For best results, enjoy your banana tea about 30 minutes before bedtime.
This gives your body time to absorb the nutrients and start releasing serotonin and melatonin for a smooth transition into sleep.
⚠️ Important Notes
Avoid adding refined sugar — it can spike your blood sugar and disrupt your sleep cycle.
If you have diabetes, skip the honey and consult your doctor first.
You can even eat the boiled banana afterward! It’s soft, mildly sweet, and full of fiber.
💬 What to Expect
After 3–5 nights of consistent use, most people report:
✅ Falling asleep faster
✅ Fewer nighttime awakenings
✅ Feeling more rested and alert in the morning
Some even say they notice improved mood and energy levels during the day — thanks to better sleep quality and stabilized serotonin.
🍌 What Happens If You Consume Too Much Banana or Banana Water
While banana tea is healthy and soothing, too much of anything can backfire. Overconsumption can cause certain side effects that you’ll want to avoid.
1. ⚡ Too Much Potassium (Hyperkalemia)
Bananas are rich in potassium — great for muscle and heart health, but excessive amounts can raise potassium levels too high.
This condition, called hyperkalemia, can cause:
Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Muscle weakness or fatigue
Tingling or numbness
⚠️ Especially risky for people with kidney issues, since their kidneys can’t efficiently filter excess potassium.
