5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF BANANA YOU SHOULD KNOW.
HERE ARE 5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF BANANA
1. IT HELPS FIGHT ANAEMIA
Anaemia is a health condition where there is a shortage of red blood cells (also called haemoglobin) in the blood. Banana fruits are often recommended for anaemia patients and this is because it contains a high iron content and this iron helps the body to make haemoglobin. Some of the symptoms of anaemia includes loss of breath, tiredness and paleness.
2. IT HAS A HIGH FIBRE CONTENT
It is often recommended we eat little and light food in the morning. Foods with high fibre contents helps us achieve this goal because they slow down digestion making you feel full faster and also stay full for a long time. For this purpose you should always add banana to your breakfast because they are packed with lots of soluble and insoluble fibre.
3. IT HELPS IMPROVE HEART HEALTH
A recent study in the University of Leeds located in United Kingdom noted that high fibre foods helps to improve heart health. Like we mentioned earlier, banana is loaded with lots of soluble and insoluble fibre, so according to the study, it is important your add banana to your diet regulary as it reduces the risk of heart diseases like cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases.
4. HIGH SOURCE OF POTASSIUM
Another reason why banana is very good for your health is because it is a good source of potassium. The importance of enough potassium in the body can not be overestimated as it helps ensure stable blood pressure, it helps fight muscle contractions, it help keep the brain alert, it helps regulate heartbeat, and it helps regulate fluid balance in the body.
5. POWER HOUSE OF NUTRIENTS
Banana is one of the fruits out there that contains a whole variety of nutrients which helps in the proper functioning of the body system and in performing it's day to day routine. Some of these essential nutrients contained in banana include minerals and vitamins such as folate, magnesium, potassium, iron, riboflavin, calcium, manganese, niacin and so on.

Honestly, I had to go look up what plantains were. Now I know, but there would not be a chance I would have mixed both up, because we only have regular bananas here.
I knew they were healthy, but I didn't know most of what you told me in this post.
I think I'm going to get up and have one now, lol.

Your welcome. I feel bad I can't drop by more often. if only there were 72 hours in a day,... lol
I'm having a hard time following up on everything - it seems like the stream of comments and replies never ends, lol. So it was actually a fortunate chain of events that brought me to your blog again.
I was actually checking out some newcomers I found in the most recent post by @heyhaveyamet, and I landed on the introduction post of @felblob. In the comments section, I bumped into your very informative comment - I assume it was one of those comments that made you win @danielsaori's comments contest. A well-deserved win, I'd say. That's how I landed on your blog again.
And like every time since I first read something you wrote, I learned something new. Thanks for that!
