The Banana is
by far one of the most recognized food product in the world. We think of the
thick dense forest in South America, they are also found in most parts of the
world with the same type of weather.
It has a lot of
great beneficial qualities that include power sustain for those long work out
sessions, protects against muscle craps during workouts, High in potassium and
low in salt, are able to lower blood pressure, and protect against heart attack
and stroke. Rich in pectin, bananas
aid digestion and gently chelate toxins and
heavy metals from the body.
We have
developed so many different ways to consume bananas over the past few years,
such as making it into Smoothies, Banana Chips, Banana Bread, Shakes, and Ice
Cream Sundaes.
In this article
we’ll talk about all of the great benefits banana does to your body.
Bananas are
naturally sweet and can help curb your sweet tooth if you get that
afternoon sugar craving. One banana has a minimal 90 calories,
about one-fourth of the calories you would get from a chocolate candy
bar.
Additionally, about half of the fiber content in bananas is
soluble. When soluble fiber reaches your digestive tract, it
absorbs water and slows digestion. Food is forced to sit in your stomach
for a while, making you feel full. If you have a banana before lunch,
you’ll be less likely to overeat when your food comes to the
table.
Normal
Heart Function
Having a banana
at breakfast every day adds a nutrient to your body to support
normal heart function. Bananas are rich in potassium. This process
keeps electricity flowing throughout your system, which is
required to make your heart beat. In cases of severe
potassium
deficiency, your heart rhythm may become irregular, which can be
deadly. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, you need 4,700
milligrams of potassium on a daily basis. Bananas provide more
than 360 milligrams each piece of fruit.
Natural
Performance Enhancers
There may be a
reason why most of the world’s best athletes love bananas. If
you’re active, bananas are a great option to fuel your muscles while
providing antioxidants and other nutrients sports drinks lack.
They
Help Against Depression
A small banana
provides 27 mg magnesium, which may help boost mood and reduce
feeling blue. Men and women need 420 mg and 320 mg of the
mineral per day, respectively. Low levels of this mineral are
linked to depression, anxiety, irritability and other mood disorders.
Since many of us don’t get enough magnesium in
our diets,
consider a banana as your chill pill.
