Bananas are one of the most popular fruits on the planet and for a good reason. They are great to eat for breakfast, as a snack during the day, after a tough work out, and even for dessert.
Bananas are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Just one serving size, a medium-sized banana, contains vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, copper, biotin, and magnesium. Bananas are also low in calories and will provide you with healthy fat, carbohydrates, natural sugar, fiber, and protein.
Because bananas provide carbohydrates and natural sugars they can help boost energy levels and are a great snack to eat either before or after a workout. Bananas are also loaded with potassium, another reason to eat them pre or post-workout. Potassium can help keep you hydrated, can promote healthy blood flow, assist in getting oxygen to your cells, and can help with muscle cramps and tightness. Bananas are also packed with fiber which makes them good for your digestive system and can even help you maintain a healthy weight. Fiber helps you feel fuller longer, so you won’t be eating as much. It also helps prevent bloating and constipation. The manganese in bananas can help keep your bones, skin, and brain healthy as well.
All you need is one banana a day to receive all of the health benefits this delicious fruit provides. You can add them into your yogurt, oatmeal or fruit smoothie, pair them up with peanut butter or honey for a snack, or just eat them by themselves.
