Benefit by eating a banana a day

How does one benefit by eating a banana a day?

Bananas are a great way to fuel your body before or after a workout. They contain natural sugars for sustained energy, plus a satisfying amount of fibre. They’re rich in vitamin B6, which regulates blood glucose levels and keeps your moods at an even keel. They’re also a good source of potassium, which helps to enhance alertness, prevent muscle fatigue, and control high blood pressure. This tasty tropical fruit has other benefits, too. Bananas are rich in tryptophan, the amino acid that helps your body make serotonin, the neurotransmitter associated with relief from depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Many pregnant women find that snacking on bananas can relieve morning sickness. Bananas can also soothe heartburn, and they taste a lot better than most antacids.
