A

Lots of people usually discard the skin when they eat fruit and vegeta?bles. However, the skin of some fruit can provide more nutrients (营养物) and health benefits.

Bananas―When you eat bananas, don't just throw away the peel. If you are feeling down and blue? it will help you to get into a lighter mood. Taiwanese researchers found out banana peel contains serotonin(血清素),a chemical that balances the mood. 丁o use it, simply boil banana skin in wa?ter for about 10 minutes. You can drink it when it's cool.

 Citrus (W橘属类)fruit—I know lots of people love oranges and lem?ons. But they usually throw away the peel and just eat what's inside. The juice also contains antioxidants (抗氧化剂),but the peel has higher concen?tration (浓度)of them. In fact, the peel has 20 times more antioxidants than the content! Antioxidants help fight off the bad LDL cholesterol(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇).So if you want your body to be free of bad cholesterol, don't throw away all the orange peel !

Apples―I know a lot of people eat apples with their peel on. So, just a reminder: apple peel contains about 87 per cent more nutrients that help to fight cancer, according to a study by Comer University.

Potatoes—Potato skin is rich in nutrients like fibre, iron and vitamin C. Just wash the whole potato thoroughly and cook with the skin on, whether you are going to mash (捣碎)or bake the potato. In addition, potatoes help in preventing cancer and heart disease* since they also have antioxidants in them.
