I LOVE local farmers markets for the kind of local produce you can find. I mean, I won't be able to get something like bananas there (unless I was in Hawaii...) but for the most part, they're perfect!
Right? Super high in magnesium too which is crucial for muscle recovery. Local food is amazing because its locally sourced and sold close to home.
It's crazy how many of the fruits and veg that are in markets have been *stored* for so long -- like out of season apples. I guess we tend to want what we want. But YES, I've often relied on bananas!
They're a great go to food, I'm on a Ketogenic diet so I cannot have them but sometimes I go off the rails and go "nanners" for some nanners lol. Isn't it weird that they're considered berries of large herbacious plants?!
Doing keto here too! And must say, I don't miss them. I've heard the "berry" fact before -- very funny. I know that the banana we buy now is just one species of what used to be many.
That's so funny, what of the odds! Yeah we have genetically altered them to be much larger for sure. Thanks to bullet coffees and stuff I get plenty fats but getting that adequate protein intake is difficult for me.
Well, and to your point -- MAGNESIUM. Since (TMI warning) constipation can be a keto challenge, magnesium is a supplement we use to make sure lots of things stay, um, regular. And good for you on balance -- I think people often overdo the protein.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure.
Magnesium is the ninth most abundant element in the universe. It is produced in large, aging stars from the sequential addition of three helium
boys there?" and singing about boys. So… You know what I mean? So we were kind of subverting things and making them say something or accept something that they wouldn't otherwise. So I felt like I'd achieved something with that. They don't know that. [Laughs.] If you print it, they're gonna find out!" [Laughs.] They'll be like "whaaaaaat???" But I think that was kind of funny… I was telling my friend
