B is for Banana

Bananas are not just for making your tasteless bran cereal less boring. This yummy fruit is packed with B vitamins, something our body need more as we age, especially to us, women. A new study found that women of childbearing age, particularly those who are taking contraceptives, are much more likely than men to have inadequate amounts of vitamin B6. They say, the nutrient is necessary for estrogen metabolism and the pill adds more estrogen to your body. This vitamin is also vital for red blood cell function, a healthy immune system, and normal brain activity. Low levels of this can lead to a form of anemia.

But wait, the benefits don't just stop there. Boosting your B12 intake could reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's later in life. Bananas, baked potatoes, and chicken are good sources of B6, while your B12 can come from milk, meat and eggs.

So, you see, a banana a day keeps those wrinkles away!
