Understanding Banana Nutrition

jeudi 11 avril 2013

By Jessie Atkinson


Yes, we have no bananas So it's time to go out and buy some today! Learn from the monkeys, and start eating bananas on a regular basis. These amazing fruits are packed full of vitamins and other helpful substances which are going to leave you feeling healthier.

Did you know that bananas have no cholesterol? They have no sodium either. One banana has about 105 calories depending on it's size, and about 3 of those calories are from fat. They also have 3 grams of fiber, one gram of protein and about 14 grams of sugar.

Even though they taste great, you have to limit yourself as far as how many bananas you can eat in one day. The fat and sugar can catch up to you. One banana a day is good to start off with, from there you can see how things go. And keep in mind, your body burns fat as it processes the banana.

In addition, bananas also contain vitamins A, B6, C, Manganese, Potassium and Magnesium, just to name a few. Just one banana is enough to help regulate blood pressure and put a stop to muscle cramps.

Banana nutrition help to prevent heart diseases and also strengthen your bones. Bananas are an anti-obesity food, since they reduce swelling thanks to B6 and create a whole army of white blood cells for your superior immunity.

One of the greatest things I noticed about bananas is the energy I get from them. They give a nice even burst of stable energy that tapers off gradually, not like those energy drinks or junk foods. Plus they make you feel full, so you end up eating less. And the fiber that they have helps your digestion.

Actually, health specialists say that banana nutrition is better than an energy drink when it comes to "pure" energy. True, energy drinks loaded with sugar or that crazy ginseng stuff give you the jitters. However, banana nutrition gives you the vitamins you need to go the long haul. And they don't pump you full of caffeine!

Now if your having trouble downing a few bananas, don't force it, especially if you don't like the way they taste. And if your having a hard time digesting them then there's other options.

One option would be to add it to your cereal, or have you ever heard of a banana sandwich? How about a smoothie, grab the blender and you can add whatever you like to it. Throw in some ice and some other fruits and there you go, there's no need to add any sugar because bananas are naturally sweet.

They can also be added to fruit bowls or served as sides. So if you need a quick boost of energy and you want something that tastes great and is full of the good stuff, why not have a banana, at least give it a try. Have a banana, they're cheap and they taste great too.
