Beautiful Bananas!

I eat a banana every morning for breakfast. I love bananas. Not only do they taste amazing, but they have so many great health benefits. Check out this list of what they can do for you, and see if you don’t want to add them to your diet!

• Bananas contain natural sugars - sucrose, fructose, and glucose. They also contain fiber. This gives you a natural energy boost, great for first thing in the morning, or for sustaining you for a workout.
• Bananas also contain a small amount of tryptophan. The body converts that protein into serotonin, which is known to make you relax and improve your mood.
• Bananas contain B6 which regulate blood glucose levels, which can effect your mood.
• The iron in bananas can help stimulate the production of hemoglobin in blood, which can help cases of anemia.
• The FDA just approved the banana industry to advertise the claims that the fruit can lower the risk of blood pressure and stroke due to the high potassium and low sodium.
• Bananas can work as a natural antacid for relief of heartburn.
• Because bananas are high in vitamins B6 and B12, they can help calm the nervous system.
• The fiber in bananas are great in keeping your digestive system regulated.

It’s so easy to eat one or two bananas a day, and look at all the great things they can do for you! You can even add them to your diet by making smoothies with them, or cutting them up in your cereal.
