“We all know that bananas ripen over time, but the actual process is fascinating,” said Rachel Gargano, a chief registered dietitian.
While naturally rich in essential nutrients, their health benefits can vary depending on how ripe they are. Understanding the differences can help you choose the type of banana that is right for you.
This classic exercise is a great one to start your day. It provides a good physical workout, is highly controllable, and gets many of your postural muscles ready for an active day.
Step 1: Stand tall with your legs shoulder-width apart. With your fingers interlaced, place both hands on the back of your head.
Step 2: With your knees slightly bent, bend your hips until you’re in a deep bow with your face toward the floor. Be sure to keep your back straight and your elbows extended straight out. Take a full second to move into the bow.
Step 3: Hold the position for one second before rising back up.
Step 4: Each full movement is counted as one repetition. Try to perform 15 repetitions per set and three sets.
While this exercise may not seem as challenging as the others, don’t be fooled. It works important muscles and can even increase your cardiovascular strength.
