Shedding Light On Banana Nutrition

By Jessie Atkinson


If it's been a while since you've had a banana then it's time to go out and get one. Eating bananas is one of the best things that you can do for your body. This awesome fruit is loaded with vitamins and minerals which will re-energize you in the short run and keep you healthy in the long run.

One banana has about 105 calories, give or take a couple, and around three of those calories are from fat. They also have 1 gram of protein, three grams of fiber and about fourteen grams of sugar. And how about this, no cholesterol or sodium.

But, you can't sit around eating bananas all day oh no, because of the sugar and fat. Even though it's little, it can go against you. So it's best to limit yourself to maybe just a couple a day. One good thing to note, is that you burn fat just processing this fruit.

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.

There are health experts that say that bananas are way better than any energy drink out there on the market. Next time your around one of those energy drinks take a look at what's inside, can you even pronounce some of the ingredients? Bananas give the body everything that the body needs to go the distance, without the caffeine. The energy boost you get from one banana is of a better quality, because it's natural.

If you find it difficult to eat bananas or if your having a hard time digesting them, then not to worry. There are other ways of eating bananas.

Probably one of the most popular ways of eating a banana is to make a smoothie. Get out the blender, put in some ice and start off with that. The next time around add in some other fruit, play around with it until you get it to where you like it. Just remember that there's no need to add any sugar to this, due to the fact that bananas already have natural sugar in them, so it's already 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.
