Bananas are soooo good for you. I am now so convinced, having recently read an article detailing all the benefits, that I am trying to eat one every day. I haven’t always been fussed on them, especially if they’re very ripe, but I am now a convert.
FYI here are just some of the benefits:
- gives instant energy and also supplies sustained energy too
- fibre protecting against bowel cancer, lowering cholesterol and stabilising blood sugar levels
- vitamin C (1 banana gives 17% of daily requirement)
- potassium (minimises risk of stroke / keeps heart healthy)
- magnesium (helps body recover from fatigue)
- vitamin B6 (helps transport oxygen to muscles)
Go on…. have a banana – you know it’s good for you.
