Bananas are neither a miracle cure nor a hidden poison. They are simply nutritional “firecrackers” full of substances that will do quite specific things to your body when consumed regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what really happens in your body if you eat one to two bananas a day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Your blood pressure will go down and your heart will be happy \ud83e\udec0
    Bananas are known for their high potassium content (a medium banana has around 400\u2013450 mg). Potassium acts as a counterbalance to sodium (salt) in the body. It helps to release catechins and flush out excess sodium through urine, naturally lowering blood pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Better mood and more restful sleep \ud83e\udde0


    Bananas contain the amino acid tryptophan, which the body converts into serotonin \u2013 known as the \u201chappiness hormone\u201d. In addition, they contain vitamin $B_6$ and magnesium, which help calm the nervous system, reduce stress and support the production of melatonin for better sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Digestion will experience a renaissance (but it depends on the color!) \ud83c\udf4c


    Greenish \/ less ripe bananas: They contain a lot of so-called resistant starch. This acts as a prebiotic \u2013 food for good bacteria in the intestines. They improve the microbiome and fill you up for longer.
    Yellow with brown dots: Starch has been converted into simple sugars. They are easily digestible, provide instant energy and are ideal before or after exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Quick energy without a \u201csugar crash\u201d \u26a1
    Although bananas contain sugar, they have a medium to low glycemic index thanks to their fiber (pectin). The energy is released gradually, so you don\u2019t have to worry about a sudden spike and subsequent crash like with sweets.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u26a0\ufe0f When can this be a problem? (The \u201cdark side\u201d of bananas)
    You shouldn\u2019t overdo it with bananas either. What if you eat too many of them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For patients with kidney disease: If the kidneys don\u2019t function properly, they can\u2019t filter excess potassium from the blood. Potassium buildup (hyperkalemia) can be dangerous for your heart rhythm.
    Diabetics need to be careful about ripeness: Very ripe (spotted) bananas have more free sugars and raise blood sugar levels ($glycemia$) faster.


    Tooth enamel: Like any fruit containing sugars and acids, bananas require basic oral hygiene.
    Verdict?
    The truth that will “surprise” most people is that a regular banana is one of the best and cheapest natural ionic drinks. For a healthy person, 1 to 2 bananas a day is a great habit that will support the heart, intestines and psyche!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
