Going Bananas - 6 reasons to eat more bananas



The health benefits of eating bananas are really astonishing and here are just a few reasons to make sure you feature the mighty banana in your diet. 
  1. Potassium - High in potassium and they help your circulatory system route your oxygen to the brain
  2. Happy and you know it - Bananas release tryptophan which is converted into serotonin. Serotonin is the happy feel good chemical that elevates our mood to make us feel happy. :)
  3. Energy - When eaten after exercise this carbohydrate rich fruit  replaces the muscle glycogen (muscle sugar) which has been used during exercise
  4. SMOKE FREE - Bananas are full of Vitamin B and various minerals and eating them has been proven to lower the craving of nicotine both physically and psychologically 
  5. Made of Iron - Rich in iron they can be really helpful to people who suffer from anemia as they stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood.
  6. Keep it Regular - Bananas are rich in soluble fibre so any problems with constipation and regular bowel movement will be a thing of the past as they help to maintain regular bowel function.
