A banana a day keeps the doctors away!

I like eat banana in winter because it is too cold to eat other fruits.And I eat more than 5 bananas at a time or dont eat it for a few days.

hello there to U...yes of course, i would love to eat bananas everyday...because it's not only delectable to the sense of taste, but it's also healthy and so beneficial to our health with so many advantages...a banana is the most unique of all fruit because unlike any fruit it does not come from trees at all but from large plants that are giant herbs and are related to lily and orchid family...in order to have a healthy lifestyle, you have to meet your daily requirement of five fruits and vegetables...bananas are a perfect part of your diet and they are the most popular fruit...bananas are available all year and they are a great source of instant energy whether you are watching your diet or just trying to eat healthy...like other fruits and vegetables, bananas contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol...it is a known fact that a low fat, balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruit may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer...bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium...lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness irritability and insomnia...the potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke...potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up...a medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium - 11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber...bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy...they are also easy to digest...because of their great taste, they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings...you can toss bananas to your cereals, salads, yogurt, salsa, smoothie or shakes...you should store bananas over the counter at room temperature until they reach the ripeness you want, then you can store them in the refrigerator...the peel of the fruit will darken in the refrigerator but the banana inside will remain firm and delicious...to ripen a banana faster, it should be put in a brown paper bag with an apple or tomato overnight...so i guess, i've said all the benefits and stuffs about bananas...keep eating bananas because it's a great help to your daily diet needs...have a blessed day ahead of U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

I am from south India and banana is plently available in my state and we make chips out of this fruit.The information you posted about banana is very informative for all mylot users.

I havent had a banana in awhile. I use to try a eat one a couple times a week. I wont eat a green banana. They dont taste very good to me.LOL I like them well they start to get dark. Well ripened.

Of course herein south india we are doing as such only and reducing our medical expenses . Also banan is an instant calorian. Also flushes our stomach and one disadvantage is temporary up in your weight for one hour. Any where in india you can get this fruit and everybody knows the potential . A right food suplement for solid food .

Hi,there! Well,I like bananas very much.I know it's very good for our body but I also hear that one shouldn't eat too often or too many.I don't know the exact reason.I only have heard before that: An apple a day keeps the doctors away.This is the first time I heard the banana version:) Thanks for sharing this with us.I think I'll keep an eye on the bananas in the future.LOL!I've got some questions: You really do eat bananas every day? How could you insist on doing that? I think it's very good that you can keep this nice habit.Is it available in your country all the year around? I can't see that in my country all the time:( Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day^_^

yes i know banana has many medical goodness. But for me it is not suitable. I have throat infection and it increases if i have bananas,. still I take it sometime but not always.

I didn't realize that bananas did all of that. I knew they were a good source of vitamins and potassium. I don't like to eat them plain. I like them in cereal or fruit salad. I'll have to start thinking about adding them to my diet a little more often.

hi braveheart. ^__^ i know that bananas are good for the body especially in the heart and skin. that is why i try to eat a piece everyday after a meal. i also know that it provides instant glucose because tennis players would eat one during their games. ^__^ but i didn't know that it has a lot of benefits just like what you said. now i would try harder to make banana as part of my meals. ^__^

Hello dear braveheart. It is interesting to know so many good advantages about bananas. That is why the title is entitled with A banana a day keeps the doctors away. Now I have come to know how good bananas are and will try to eat one a day. Thanks so much for the information.

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain a type of protein that the body converts into energy, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. Bananas contain potassium, which helps keep lactic acid from building up in your muscles.

hi.... i believed in an apple a day keeps the doctor away... and i read several articles proving this is true... and i do agree that eating bananas are great. they are good source of potassium, fiber and good for the heart. we have bananas almost all the time... happy mylotting...

i like eating bananas.though i don't eat it every day,i like it. my stomch is not so good,and eating bananas can make it good.^^

i am sure banana has many nutrients value, but frankly speaking banana does not suit me.i get a bad cold and cough after i eat a banana,which doesn't go for days. so i found a way in which i could eat it and not get sick.so i eat it hot.... its an old recipe given to me by my grandma...and just suits me well. so i eat it alternately which helps me to remain healthy and in shape..... moreover always have a banana before 4.00 PM so that u don't catch a cold if u are prone to it...

When I used to go to the gym every day of the week I would always have a banana afterwards to replenish my energy levels instead of a chocolate bar, it has lots of nutrients and is a quick sugar hit too, as you burn off a lot of sugar etc when you exercise. I still have a banana a day but I much prefer apples and oranges to eat. Lots of fruit is good for your digestive system and helps to keep you regular and it's good to have a variety of fruit each day.

I did read and answer a discussion about the advantages of eating bananas. Earlier than that, I did like to eat banana but not taking them too often. After reading the information I then take banana more frequently. Moreover to eat banana is easier than other fruits as we just have to peel off the skin. Fried banana (pisang goring) is quite popular in my place. It is available at the stores by the sides of the busy streets. It is delicious and cheap but quite so it is better not to take it too often.

Hey, nice content.. That can almost inspire anyone to start eating the bananas just right now.. Well, I do eat bananas but just once a day, in the morning.. I have fruits in my breakfast and that includes the banana..

I don't eat bananas everyday, but it is a very common fruit and I like it. I just can't make sure I eat it daily. When you are hungry, banana is a good choice.

Hi braveheart07! Oh, I guess I am more familiar with the "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" quotation. hehe.. Anyway, that is good information you posted and I really appreciate it. All along, I know that it can help only in the digestion and elimination process but now I learned there is more to it. Thanks and have a nice day. Take care and blessings to you.

i wish i could!
