Below are the 5 Reasons Why You Should Be Eating At Least 3 Bananas a Day
1. Potassium
Banana contains an essential mineral called potassium, which help to maintain proper heart function and regulates your blood pressure.
Research published in the American Heart Association’s journal suggests eating bananas regularly can cut your risk of having a stroke by up to 20%. (source)
Bananas’ potassium content also benefits your kidneys and bones. Increased potassium intake suppresses calcium excretion in the urine, preventing painful kidney stones. (source)
Decreased calcium excretion means more calcium to preserve your bones. This means a banana or three a day can reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis and brittle bones. (source)
2. Bananas fight anemia
Since bananas are high in iron, consuming them can stimulate production of hemoglobin in the blood and help fight anemia. Anemia is a medical condition in which the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen to the tissues is reduced, either because of too few red blood cells, or because of too little hemoglobin, resulting in pallor and fatigue.
Also, Vitamin B6 that is present in banana regulates blood glucose levels, which can also help those suffering from anemia. So it's advisable to get used to banana.
3. Increased Energy
Bananas are a good source of the amino acid tryptophan which your body converts to serotonin. Eat two bananas before a strenuous workout to pack an energy punch and sustain your blood sugar.
4. Bananas improve digestion
Bananas are a great source of dietary fiber. Fiber is an important nutrient in the body because it helps regulate the speed of digestion, slowing it down.
Owning that most of us don’t get nearly enough fiber in our diets, eating bananas can be a very important source of getting the required amount of fiber.
Turning to another important element of digestion, bananas are rich in fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). FOS is a prebiotic – i.e. it feeds the important “friendly” bacteria that live in your digestive tract. These bacteria help us absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Try to eat banana at the end of your meal
5. Finally, It is Use to Treat Skin Conditions
Another surprising benefits of bananas is that it is great for treating skin conditions like psoriasis and acne.
All you have to do is to rub the freshly peeled inside of the banana skin gently over the affected area and allow the residue to be absorbed. Banana skin contains fatty acid content which helps to relieve a variety of skin conditions, as well as having a strong moisturising effect.
