Banana Lover’s Day – August 27th

Banana Lover’s Day!  Whether you like bananas or not there will be something for you to learn and celebrate.  Everyone talks about bananas being good for you because they are full of potassium, but your kids asked you why potassium is good for you, would you know?  My kids asked me – and I had to admit that I had no idea.  I only knew they were full of potassium because my mom and grandma always used to say it.  Well, potassium is important for proper functioning of the heart, kidneys, muscles, nerves, and digestive system.  Who knew? Not me.
