This newsletter should help you if you’re suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or if you have digestive issues of any kind.
It will also help if you get frequent headaches.
In my previous newsletters, you learned that the ratio of dopamine to serotonin is extremely important to your health.
Higher serotonin levels correlate with more internal inflammation.
It also shows correlates with intestinal problems, and with depression.
Often what you want to do is raise your dopamine levels.
Higher dopamine levels help suppress excess serotonin.
Suppressing excess serotonin can improve digestion.
It can improve your mood and even improve sexual performance.
Traditional pharmaceutical drugs that raise dopamine include bromocriptine, cabergoline, and lisuride.
These all lower prolactin and increase sexual libido.
What you may not realize is that banana peels also contain a lot of dopamine.
So it is quite possible, even probable that the dopamine in banana peels works this way too.
Dopamine does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so the banana peels probably do not help for diminishing Parkinson’s symptoms, although it is worth a try.
But if banana peel dopamine lowers serotonin levels, it will also lower prolactin and probably increase sexual drive and performance too.
It’s traditional in many cultures to cook and use banana peels.
Not the pulp of the banana, but the peel of the banana.
And because they use the peel, they enjoy the benefits of improved mood, sexual performance, and fewer digestive issues.
In this study, they found many anti-inflammatory and antioxidants in the banana peel.
These compounds are not available in any other fruit or vegetable in the world.
The levels of dopamine and other antioxidants are very high.
So the peel can be used medicinally, to help you improve your health.
Fresh unripe peel exhibited strong antioxidant activity as well as had the highest total phenolic compound.
To get an idea of the benefits of banana peel, we find that banana peel contains high levels of dopamine.
Dopamine is water-soluble and easily absorbed when you need it.
Banana contained dopamine at high levels in both the peel and pulp.
Dopamine levels ranged from 80-560 milligrams per 100 grams in peel and 2.5-10 milligrams in pulp, even in ripened bananas ready to eat.
And as the study author concludes:
Banana is thus one of the antioxidative foods.
How do you prepare banana to get the most benefit?
The easiest way is to peel the banana, eat the pulp, and then boil banana peels after you eat the banana.
And then blend the banana peels in a blender, so it’s a paste. And then try some.
Yes, drink some of the pureed banana peel.
You can also try this recipe:
Ingredients
2 raw bananas
6 cloves of garlic
1 green chilli
salt to taste
Ingredients for seasoning
2 tablespoons mustard oil
1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds/kalonji
1 dry red chili
Many people report that when they eat banana peels this way, they feel warmer.
They also find that their digestion settles down.
The activity of banana peel is very strong.
I have personally put banana peel on a wound or cut.
I held it on with tape overnight while I sleep.
And when I do this, I have found that it is accelerates healing greatly.
As an antioxidant, dopamine beats out everything else.
Dopamine had greater antioxidative potency than glutathione, food additives such as butylated hydroxyanisole and hydroxytoluene, flavone luteolin, flavonol quercetin, and catechin, and similar potency to the strongest antioxidants gallocatechin gallate and ascorbic acid.
You can’t get any better than that.
Try it out.
I would try the recipe first because it looks delicious.
Actually, once you start cooking with banana peel paste, you can come up with many recipes of your own.
I wouldn’t overdo it, though.
The dopamine needs to be in balance with serotonin, and you don’t want too much.

Are you suffering from depression? Does the thought of taking an anti-depressant not appeal to you? Are you worried it might dull your personality or otherwise change who you are? There are a host of other ways of dealing with depression that aren’t really talked about in Western medicine. Today, we’re going to look at one such method. Oftentimes, depression can be traced back to an excess of serotonin. When there’s too much serotonin in your system, it can result in a whole host of health problems. It can mess around with your digestive system, cause internal inflammation, and create intestinal issues. Lastly, excess serotonin has been linked to depression. A good method for dealing with this is to increase the amount of dopamine in your body. Dopamine has the effect of suppressing serotonin, thereby mitigating some of the health issues outlined above. There are a lot of pharmaceutical drugs which are commonly used to raise dopamine, such as bromocriptine, cabergoline, and lisuride. However, one all-natural dopamine gold mine rarely gets mentioned: Banana peels. Throughout many cultures around the world, banana peels have been cooked and eaten. A recent study found high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties in banana peels. It concludes: “[Bananas contain] dopamine at high levels in both the peel and the pulp. Dopamine levels ranged from 80-560mg per 100g in peel and 2.5-10mg in pulp, even in ripened bananas ready to eat.” All you have to do is take a few banana peels and stick them in a blender. Blend them into a paste and you’ve got a concentrated helping of dopamine, ready to consume. When your body gets that big hit of dopamine, it will begin to suppress the excess serotonin, thereby balancing out your moods. No pharmaceuticals necessary. Make sure to use banana peels in moderation, however. As with all things hormonal, balance is the key.
