Banana
Bananas
are high in soluble fiber and vitamin B6, apart from this, they
contain a moderate amount of potassium, vitamin C and manganese. It
is said that it helps fighting some types of cancer, like breast
cancer.
Contrary
to what people think, a banana is much more tasty as it turns darker.
When bananas are gathered from banana trees they are in an inmature
state. Literally, green. They are kept refrigerated and, then,
distributed. When you buy your banana at your local supermarket,
sometimes you find them still green, which is not better because the
mellowing has not reached its peak, therefore, unless you like
starchy tasted bananas, wait for them to ripen until they are yellow,
or even better, with brown spots all over. I, personally, love when
they are totally brown, yet not black (¬¬), because at that point
most starch has turned into sugar and the texture to the mouth
improves a great deal.
Some
facts:
·
Tree-ripen bananas are said to be much more superior in taste.
·
Bananas are composed of 93% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 3% fats.
·
Bananas also have phosphorus, vitamin A and iron.
·
The amounts of energy one banana gives you are enough to exercise for
about 45 minutes (for this same reason, instead of having a coffee
when tired, it is much better and healthier to eat a banana.
Implementing
bananas into the daily diet is a must. I very much doubt you do not
like their taste so I think it should be an easy task. You should do
this because it is a very good source of potassium. Potassium takes a
very important part in several functions of the body like:
·
Build muscle
·
Build proteins
·
Break down and use carbohydrates
·
Control the acid-base balance
·
Control the electrical activity of the heart
·
Maintain normal body growth
One
banana makes you feel satiated, so it can also help you losing weight
by replacing a meal, for this very same reason, you should have a
daily intake of at least one banana.
Lastly,
you should know that the amount of bananas you can eat is pretty much
regulated by your love for them, so, be it two or five or even ten
bananas a day, you have not to worry about any damage to your body or
any side effect... although ten bananas a day might be a little to
much, unless you cannot obtain any other kind or fruit at all, which
I doubt very very much.
