In today's Episode of **Waste to health**, I am gonna briefly look into the beauty benefit of banana peel as regards to our teeth which is very important since a bright and shining teeth gives us better confidence and ensures we smile elegantly!.  But before we go forward, let us look at the mineral contents of Banana peels which makes it so special.

Banana peel mainly is rich in some vital minerals beneficial to the human body and below are some of them;
***Potassium - 78.10mg/g
Manganese - 76.20mg/g
Sodium - 24.30 mg/g
Calcium- 19.20 mg/g
Iron- 0.61 mg/g
***
Thanks to its high contents of **potassium**, it is very good in ensuring normal blood pressure and flow.


**Banana Peel Use as Teeth Whitener – 
***Method of Use*
Use a ripe banana, best those with dark spots. Wash the banana skin very well with clean water.
Cut off a piece of the peel in small bits to fit the size of your teeth and gently rub the inner part over your teeth for a few minutes say two to three minutes and leave for next 20 minutes, then rinse off with clean water and brush your teeth. I prefer using herbal toothpaste.

Repeat 1-2 x daily for whiter looking teeth. the high amounts of potassium and manganese helps to brighten the teeth leaving your mouth & teeth fresh and healthy!
