Health Benefits and Risks of Potatoes and Bananas
Potatoes and bananas are two everyday foods that offer great nutritional value, but like anything, they should be eaten in balance. Here’s a simple guide to understand their advantages and possible risks.
Materials or Tools Needed:
Fresh potatoes and bananas
Knife and cutting board
Cooking pot or oven for potatoes
Optional: notebook or notes app to track foods that make you feel best
Step-by-Step Method:
Prepare potatoes in a healthy way:
Wash and cook them by boiling, baking, or steaming instead of frying to keep them nutritious.
Eat bananas at different ripeness levels:
Slightly green bananas offer slower-digesting carbs, while ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to digest.
Combine both foods with balanced meals:
Add them next to proteins, vegetables, or healthy fats for better energy and digestion.
Observe how your body reacts:
Notice how you feel—energized, full, or bloated—and adjust portions based on your needs.
Additional Tips:
