Grab a bunch of these for your kidneys

Grab a Bunch for Your Kidneys

Eating four of these a week can cut your kidney-cancer risk in half. Hint: You need to peel it.

Yep, we're talking bananas. They're bursting with phenolic compounds that appear to thwart renal-cancer cells. And that's not all the monkey's favorite fruit brings to your body . . .

Phenols, Potassium, and More

Phenols -- plant-based substances linked to all sorts of health benefits, from cancer prevention to heart health -- aren't the only goodies that bananas have to offer. No doubt you already know about the super potassium stores in the yellow-skinned fruit (450 milligrams in one banana!). But they're also a good source of B vitamins like B6 and folate, plus calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C.

Bananas Everywhere

A fresh, whole banana makes a great snack. But why stop there with this versatile fruit?

* Skip the Frappuccino. Make this EatingWell smoothie instead: Blueberry-Banana Batido.

* For a healthy (and satisfying) snack, top rice cakes with bananas and natural peanut butter.

* Add flavor to fish or pork with a Banana-Orange Relish.

* Go ahead: Enjoy this delicious, guilt-free dessert: Cocoa-Nut Bananas.

Ingredients

* 4 teaspoons cocoa
* 4 teaspoons toasted unsweetened coconut
* 2 small bananas, sliced on the bias

Directions

1. Place cocoa and coconut on separate plates. Roll each banana slice in the cocoa, shake off the excess, then dip in the coconut.

Sounds quite easy doesn't it?

Skip my coffee?! I like bananas, but if they shape up to my morning coffee, they're gonna come away black 'n blue! Might give one of those smoothies a try though. Perhaps in the afternoon. We don't want any foodstuff envy!

Actually, I think I made a joke unknowingly! (That is if you're relating my use of "black and blue" back to the blueberry in the recipe??? If not, forget I brought it up! Nothing like analysing humour to totally kill it!)
