Bananas Provide Energy
  • Because of the abundance of vitamins and minerals, bananas are a great source of natural energy.
  • Eating only two bananas will give you enough energy to exercise or workout for an hour and a half.
  • Bananas are also ideal for eating during that midday lull when you feel tired and sluggish.
  • Instead of drinking caffeine or having a sugary snack, bananas provide a level of energy that lasts longer without the dramatic crash caused by caffeine.
Bananas are good for your heart and nerves:
  • Because they are rich in potassium, bananas help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain.
  • This also helps maintain a regular heartbeat and a proper balance of water in the body.
  • Potassium is also helpful for reducing strokes and regulating blood pressure because of the way it promotes circulatory health.
