Bananas

It’s been nearly three months now since I decided to have a banana for breakfast every morning.

I walk a great deal every week, probably amounting to twenty miles a week. Around eight months ago I started to get chronic leg cramps, now this is an absolutely unnerving sight for anyone walking by; I would either be squatting down or stretching both legs uncompromisingly in the middle of a pavement. The symptoms were duly logged onto the web and internet hearsay suggested that smoking and the lack of potassium as the most likely culprits. Yup, I gave up smoking (after twenty years) because my walkabouts around London take precedence. And that banana thing was obviously included as part of the potassium supplement.

This reeks ‘psychological’ you might well holler, but those dreaded cramps have disappeared (digits crossed). I can now walk from Marble Arch to Hoxton pain free, so thank you banana.
