Fiber
A banana contains about 12% of fiber which is a part of our daily diet. Fiber will help with controlling blood sugar which slows down carbohydrates that break down as sugars. Fiber helps reduce the risk of having a stroke.
Bananas are rich in vitamins C and B6 that all support heart health.
Bananas are also a good source of energy. They contain carbohydrates that are much-needed for energy. This is why they are almost always seen in smoothies, and protein shakes.
Bananas contain levels of tryptophan which is what is also found in turkeys. This helps you to relax and be in a good mood. Bananas has vitamin B which can help with depression. Vitamin B helps take the tryptophan and conserves it to make tryptophan more beneficial to your body.
Bananas can help to lose weight. There was a fad with eating bananas and drinking water helped to lose the inches of your waist. It helps crave your sweet desires and gives you the right number of calories needed for a good daily diet.
