Food and Health Awareness | Banana with its Magical Health Boosting Properties

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Bananas are the fruit of the genus Musa and are native to South and Southeast Asia. The scientific name of the banana is Musa acuminata. Bananas are eaten directly at maturity or included in fruit salads, juices, and milkshakes. Immature bananas can cause severe digestive disorders and should only be consumed as cooked foods. In addition, bananas are a good decoration for breakfast cereals or snacks and can quickly consume energy. Bananas are grown in more than 100 countries around the world and can also be used to make banana wines, fibers, and decorative accessories.

Health Benefits of Banana

Weight Loss

Bananas are useful for weight loss because they only contain about 90 calories. They also contain a lot of fiber and are easy to digest. In addition, they do not contain fat aiding into losing weight.

Strengthens Bones

Bananas are one of the best fruits to ensure strong and healthy bones throughout life. One of the best reasons is the presence of fructooligosaccharides, which are probiotics and beneficial bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the body's nutrient intake and mineral content.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

The compounds in bananas are anti-inflammatory, which means that they can reduce inflammation, swelling, and irritation diseases such as arthritis and gout.

Treats Piles

In piles, it is very difficult to empty the feces, which can cause bleeding. Bananas are thought to help treat the piles. Some people think that bananas will increase the number of your intestines, giving them extra pressure and worsening the disease.

Prevents Kidney Disorders

Potassium in bananas helps regulate the body's water balance, relieves kidney stress and promotes urination. This can help prevent the accumulation of toxins in the body and accelerate its release by increasing the frequency and volume of urination.

Banana is My Favorite Food

Banana, It's so easy and not expensive to get health.

Thanks mr @cryptokraze

Good post friend...thank for information

I love bananas, good for me during constipation!

Very interesting and useful @cryptokraze, are all types of bananas good for health?

I knew bananas were a great source for potassium, but I never realized bananas are a good anti-inflammatory. I stress this, because studies have been demonstrated inflammation is the number one culprit contributing to most diseases. Ginger is also a good anti-inflammatory. Great post.

Great writing for everyone. From your story, I came to know the usefulness of Banana. Thanks a lot! :-)

During some tight budget times there would be days or weeks where bananas were the overwhelming majority of my calories. They're so versatile! I love mixing spirulina. I guess I love mixing just about everything with spirulina tho lol

You've got to be kidding me..
