Banana Benefits

Bananas are known for being high in potassium, one of the essential minerals that help regulate heartbeat, normal growth, muscle-building, and fluid balance in the body.
. It is also important for bone strength, as optimal intake of potassium reduces loss of calcium in urine, which in turn minimizes the risk of kidney stones.

Kinds of Apples

* Red Delicious - The most popular American apple which is a great easy snack any time of the day.
* Granny Smith - This is the most durable apple you can get, it has a long natural shelf life and is great for cooking.
* Gala Apples - My personal favorite (great in the MG Tuna melt).
* Golden Delicious - Used usually for making apple pie, they are not related to the Red Delicious apple however.
* Other less known types include: Mcintosh, Rome and Gravenstein apples.
