They are a great snack but did you know that this humble banana is packed with health benefitsIJ The fruit helps to overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin — the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter. Eating two bananas before a strenuous workout gives you energy and sustains your blood sugar. That is why almost all athletes eat this fruit. It also protects the body from muscle cramps during workouts.
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. According to the USDA, one banana has about 3 gm of fibre. Dietary fiber can help you feel fuller longer and also keep your digestive processes running smoothly.
