- Bananas are one of nature's best energy sources, high in vitamin B6 and a good source of vitamin
C, potassium and dietary fiber.
- Bananas have no fat, cholesterol or sodium.
- A medium-sized banana has 110 calories.
- A single banana supplies 20% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of B6, a vitamin that helps the body use proteins and fats.
- Because bananas are sodium-free, they can be eaten as part of a diet to reduce the risk of high
blood pressure.
- A diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables may reduce your risk of some cancers.
- Bananas contain more digestible carbohydrates than any other fruit. The advantage is, your body
burns off calories from carbohydrates more quickly and easily than calories from protein or
fat.
- Although research and modern medicine have helped decrease the number of deaths related to
heart disease, a balanced, healthy diet and regular exercise can also help reduce risk factors for
heart disease.
- Bananas are a heart-healthy food when eaten as part of a low-fat, balanced diet.
- Bananas are great for babies. They are one of the foods lowest in allergens: very few babies are
allergic to bananas. Bananas are exceptionally easy to digest because they have no fat.
- For growing children, bananas help meet caloric and energy needs. Since small children have small
stomachs, they don't consume all their daily requirements in just three meals, so bananas are
perfect between meal snacks.
- Bananas are one of the cleanest fruits to eat because of their naturally protective skins.
