It’s that time of the year again – It’s Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day! We absolutely love pancakes and wanted to share our top 5 toppings that can help your hearing.
- Dark Chocolate
It’s rich in zinc which can help prevent hearing loss by preserving your inner ears function. You don’t just have to use it as a topping though, why not put some dark chocolate chips in your batter or whip a batch of red velvet pancakes using dark chocolate! Any excuse to have some chocolate is a good excuse for us! - Bananas
Did you know that a single banana can contain around 358mg of potassium which can help to regulate the fluid in your inner ear? Bananas are also a good source of magnesium. Why not put some bananas on your pancake or better yet, make banana pancakes – yummy! - Oranges
Another fantastic source of potassium and magnesium, just like banana. Oranges are also a great source of vitamin C which greatly helps your immune system to function properly, helping to fight off potential infections in your inner ear. This zesty topping is a great ingredient that can benefit your inner ear like banana can. - Yoghurt
Although yoghurt may not be the greatest topping to have on your pancakes alone, why no combine it with some of the toppings above; like orange and dark chocolate! Yoghurt is another fantastic source of potassium and be a delicious topping. - Lemon
We’ve the best for last. This classic topping on pancakes is quick, easy and most importantly delicious. Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C and folate; folate helps to ensure that the cochlea (the part of your inner ear where sound is converted to signals that get sent to the brain) is nourished with a healthy blood flow. Lemon and sugar may be one of our all-time favourite toppings.
With all of these delicious toppings that can keep your ears healthy, and many other, there’s no question in our minds that Pancake Day is our ears favourite day of the year!
