Bananas! Truly a wonder food.

Many cultures revere this simple fruit, with good reason.

Bananas are high in nutrition and relatively low in calories, with 1 banana providing 110 calories, which can be worked into a diet suitable for diabetics, too. With care and caution.

Digestion:  Its good for both, constipation and diarrhoea. High fiber helps both, to soften as well as to bind stools. Bananas act as prebiotic, stimulating the growth of friendly bacteria in the bowel. They also produce digestive enzymes to assist in absorbing nutrients. Help in acidity and reflux.

Feel good : Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin — the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter.

Eating a banana before a strenuous workout helps to sustain blood sugar. They protect against muscle cramps during workouts and nighttime leg cramps. Provide calcium and help build strong bones. Bananas reduce swelling, protect against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen the nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high levels of vitamin B-6. Strengthen blood and relieve anemia with the added iron. High in potassium and low in salt, bananas are officially recognized by the FDA as being able to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke.

You know the best thing? Banana chips fried in coconut oil! Yummy AND healthy!!!

So, if you’re not already hooked to a banana a day, now’s the time!
