GO BANANAS for Bananas!

Bananas are maybe the most loved fruits on earth. They are very very tasty and give you a bunch of nutrients that are important for your overall health. Eating bananas is a great habit so you should get into it. Here are some reasons to consume this amazing fruit on a daily basis!

Bananas contain the natural sugars sucrose and fructose which give them their sweet flavor, but are also packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber which makes them a healthy addition to your lunch. In particular, bananas offer a decent amount of vitamin B6, vitamin C, manganese and potassium. The average banana contains 467 milligrams of potassium and only 1 milligram of sodium, which can protect against atherosclerosis.

Besides the cardiovascular benefits, the potassium found in bananas helps promote bone health by decreasing the amount of calcium excreted through urine and preventing the bones from thinning out at a fast rate.

As with any other fruit, the nutrient content of bananas changes as they ripen. In this case, as a banana ripens and turns dark yellow, its levels of antioxidants that protect your body against heart diseases and cancer increase. And according to recent studies conducted in Japan, the full ripe bananas with dark patches on their skin produce the largest quantity of TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor), a cytokine that fights abnormal tumor cells in the body by stimulating the production of white blood cells and assisting their communication.

Bananas are maybe the only raw fruit that’s able to reduce the acids of ulcers by coating the stomach lining and protecting it against irritation. Bananas also contain protease inhibitors, which eliminate the harmful bacteria that have been linked to the development of stomach ulcers.
