6 reasons you should eat banana everyday

September 22,2021

Joy Onuorah

Below are six well- researched and confirmed reasons you should eat bananas everyday:

Great source of Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 from bananas is easily absorbed by your body and a medium-sized banana can provide about a quarter of your daily vitamin B6 needs.

Vitamin B6 helps your body:

  • produce red blood cells
  • metabolise carbohydrates and fats, turning them into energy
  • metabolise amino acids
  • remove unwanted chemicals from your liver and kidneys
  • maintain a healthy nervous system

Vitamin B6 is also good for pregnant women as it helps meet their baby’s development needs.

Great source of Vitamin C

You may not associate bananas with vitamin C but a medium-sized banana will provide about 10% of your daily vitamin C needs.

Vitamin C helps:

  • protect your body against cell and tissue damage
  • your body absorb iron better
  • your body produce collagen – the protein which holds your skin, bones and body together
  • support brain health by producing serotonin, a hormone that affects our sleep cycle, moods, and experiences of stress a​nd pain.

Manganese in bananas is good for skin

One medium-sized banana provides approximately 13% of your daily manganese needs. Manganese helps your body make collagen and protects your skin and other cells against free radical damage.

Potassium in bananas is good for your heart health and blood pressure

A medium-sized banana will provide around 320-400 mg of potassium, which meets about 10% of your daily potassium needs.

Potassium helps your body maintain a healthy heart and blood pressure. In addition, bananas are low in sodium. The low sodium and high potassium combination helps to control high blood pressure.

Bananas can aid digestion and help beat gastrointestinal issues

A medium banana will provide about 10-12% of your daily fibre needs. 

Bananas, especially newly-ripened ones, contain starch that does not digest (resistant starch) in your small intestine and is able to pass into the large intestine. Such bananas help you manage your weight better as you stay full for longer.

Bananas can help with:

  • constipation
  • stomach ulcers
  • heartburn

Bananas can give energy

Bananas contain three natural sugars, (sucrose, fructose and glucose )giving you a fat and cholesterol-free source of energy. As such, bananas are ideal, especially for children and athletes, for breakfast, as a midday snack or before and after sports.
