Both children and adults love the taste of bananas. For this reason, bananas are very easy to include in everyone's healthy diet.
In addition, bananas are especially convenient because they can be easily carried in a bag and consumed, for example, at work.
What are the special benefits of bananas?
Bananas are a very good addition to any diet because they contain 11% fiber and only 108 calories.
The presence of fiber promotes good digestion and prevents constipation. Bananas can also be eaten before exercise, as they are a quick source of energy.
According to a recent study of people suffering from depression, many of them reported feeling better after eating a banana.
This is because bananas contain the amino acid tryptophan, which in the human body is converted into serotonin, which is known for its positive effect on emotional state.
Bananas are rich in potassium, which helps the circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain and tissues.
Potassium is also essential for normal heart function and lowers blood pressure.
Instead of taking painkillers at the beginning of your cycle, you can eat a banana, which will reduce the pain.
In a study conducted at an American school, students were given a banana in the morning with breakfast, lunch and dinner to assess how it affected their academic performance.
Researchers found that students who regularly ate bananas became more active in class and remembered things faster than other classmates.
The substances contained in bananas and the large number of vitamins make them ideal for people who drank too much alcohol the night before. Blend a few bananas with yogurt and add a little honey as a sweetener. The banana will calm the stomach, and the honey will restore blood sugar levels.
Many pregnant women consume large amounts of bananas during the early months of pregnancy to combat morning sickness.
In addition, bananas are believed to help maintain normal temperature in pregnant women.
Bananas are rich in iron, and people suffering from iron deficiency anemia need a dietary supplement to restore normal iron levels in the body.
Bananas are one of the few fruits that are allowed to be consumed with ulcers or gastritis. This is because they have a soft consistency and do not increase the acidity of the stomach contents.
They even reduce high acidity in the stomach and protect it from the harmful effects of hydrochloric acid.
