Boiling 3 Bananas Before Bed: Why Many Are Doing It
A natural bedtime ritual that’s surprising everyone with its powerful benefits! Can’t sleep at night? Tossing and turning until 2 AM? A strange but powerful trend is going viral—boiling 3 bananas before bed—and it might be the key to unlocking the deep, restful sleep your body craves.
Why Boiled Bananas Work So Well
Bananas are rich in magnesium, potassium, and tryptophan—a trio known to relax muscles, soothe the nervous system, and trigger the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone).
When boiled, these nutrients become more bioavailable, especially in the peel, giving you a calming bedtime tea that naturally prepares the body and mind for rest.
