Most people would be happy to eat banana pulp.

But in this article we will talk to you about the fact that a banana can also be dangerous, despite the fact that it is considered a hypoallergenic product.

Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables are extremely useful for the human body. But only a few are aware that a large number of useful substances and excellent taste qualities are not a guarantee that a particular product will not cause harm to health.

So, let's try to figure this out. We'll start by discussing the benefits of a fruit like banana. For active people, bananas provide an extra boost of energy, as they contain a lot of calories, various sugars, pectins, vitamins, and substances that help digest healthy carbohydrates found in other foods.

Of course, we can't help but mention the excellent taste of banana. The aroma of this fruit alone is enough to whet your appetite, and there's no need to even talk about the pulp itself.

It should also be said that banana copes well with the removal of excess fluid from the body. Therefore, with regular use, you can not worry about swelling.

Bananas also contain a large amount of dietary fiber. Therefore, bananas should be included in the diet of those people who suffer from various gastrointestinal diseases.

Even in the field of cosmetology, banana has found its successful application. Cosmetologists use banana to preserve and enhance the beauty of the female half of humanity.

Given such a number of advantages, is it really possible to highlight any dangers from this fruit? It would seem that bananas are all about benefits. But bananas are not that safe.

As it turns out, bananas should not be consumed by people who are overweight. And all because the banana pulp contains a large number of calories. Therefore, those people who want to lose weight should strictly limit their consumption of bananas.

People suffering from increased blood clotting should also avoid consuming this product. Otherwise, the disease may worsen.

This is explained by the fact that banana increases the amount of fluid excreted from the body, which causes the blood to thicken. Therefore, eating bananas may be unsafe for people suffering from coronary heart disease.

Banana is not a completely safe product for children either. A child's body gets used to new food more difficultly than an adult's. Banana is an imported fruit, so a banana can provoke an acute allergic reaction in a child.

Therefore, it is necessary to give only a small piece of banana at first. If the child does not have any reaction to this food, then later you can give a whole banana.
