Blood Pressure :
The American Heart Association (AHA) encourage people to lower their intake of salt, or sodium, and increase their consumption of foods that contain potassium. Potassium can help manage blood pressure and reduce strain on the cardiovascular system.
A medium banana provides almost 9% of a person’s daily potassium needs, according to the nutritional information from the above sources.
Cancer :
Laboratory Source have suggested that lectin, a protein that occurs in bananas, may help prevent leukemia cells from growing.
Lectin acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants help the body remove molecules known as free radicals. If too many free radicals build up, cell damage can occur, potentially leading to cancer.
Digestive health :
Bananas contain water and fiber, both of which promote regularity and encourage digestive health. One medium banana provides approximately 10% of a person’s fiber needs for a day.
Here are some tips for using bananas :
• Add a sliced banana to your morning cereal or oatmeal for a more nutritious breakfast.
• Mash ripe bananas and use to replace butter or oil in baked goods.
• Add mashed bananas to muffins, cookies, and cakes for a naturally sweet flavour.
• Add bananas to a smoothie.
• Take a banana to work or school for a healthful, portable snack.
