Bananas are a popular fruit, sometimes we eat them because we are hungry and lack energy - sometimes simply because we like their taste. Did you even know that they are very healthy?
Due to the large amount of natural soluble fiber and three types of natural sugars, bananas are an excellent snack that quickly restores your energy.
In addition to its nutritional value, research shows that this fruit is very effective in treating many problems that are usually treated with medication.
Flatulence and constipation
Bananas contain pectin, which speeds up digestion and promotes the elimination of toxins and heavy metals from the body. In addition, they act as a probiotic and stimulate the work of the intestines. All these factors stimulate digestion and reduce bloating, and banana fiber acts as a natural laxative for constipation.
Stress
One of the problems caused by stress is diarrhea, mainly due to a drop in potassium levels in the body. The balance can be established by eating bananas, which contain a fairly high content of the mentioned mineral, as a result of which normalization of heart function occurs, sending sufficient amounts of oxygen to the brain and regulating the optimal amount of water in the body.
Blood pressure
It is known that a high intake of sodium and salt and a low intake of potassium in the body have a negative effect on blood pressure. This is precisely why it is important to eat bananas, as they contain this much-needed mineral. Experts recommend eating a banana every morning to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and various heart diseases.
Depression
Bananas contain tryptophan, a form of protein that stimulates the release of serotonin, also known as the "happiness hormone". Just one banana is enough to raise serotonin levels and make you feel better, calmer and happier.
PMS
Bananas are a rich source of vitamin B6, which has a positive effect on blood glucose levels, and research shows that B vitamins are more than helpful for PMS, reducing stomach and breast pain, as well as having a positive effect on mood swings and reducing the build-up and water retention in the body.
