Hello Dear Steemians !!

The Banana
Bananas are among the most easily found, especially in Indonesia, either in their original form or as a content in food products such as bread, cereals, juices, snacks, and so on. Therefore, there is no reason for anyone not to take the health benefits offered by bananas, because this fruit has many benefits for the body and health in general.
Benefits of Bananas for Health
Here are some benefits of bananas for the body and health :
- High energy sources
Due to the abundance of vitamins and minerals, bananas are able to provide excellent energy for the body. High nutrients in bananas such as carbohydrates, calcium, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C and also vitamin B6 will provide many positive effects for the body as a whole.
Bananas also contain high fiber, thus making the body 'full' longer. One or two bananas are better for refilling the body's energy. That's better than consuming caffeinated beverages or sugary snacks. That's why bananas are often included in the diet program menu, both to lose weight and diet to control diabetes and hypertension.
- Nervous system and heart
Potassium is very important for the nervous system and muscle contraction, as well as very important for the autonomic nervous system (SSO), which is the heartbeat control system. Potassium deficiency in the blood (hypokalemia) can lead to interference with the function of the heart, precisely at the rhythm of the heartbeat.
- Diet
as mentioned earlier, that bananas are very good to eat while on a diet. Bananas are free of fat and cholesterol, but are rich in fiber. This fruit is the most recommended intake as a small portion of food with high nutrition, given to people who have to lose weight in the extreme, or because of illness and difficulty to eat normally.
- Digestive Health
Bananas can reduce the discomfort due to diarrhea or constipation (difficult bowel movements). High potassium content contained in the banana is able to refill the electrolyte fluids in the body very easily depleted when exposed to diarrhea, and prevent dehydration. In addition, bananas can overcome the problem of defecation and smoothen the digestive tract through pectin (pectin).
- Lowering blood pressure
High potassium potassium found in bananas can lower a person's blood pressure level, while minimizing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Bone health
Potassium found in bananas, in addition to membentu lowering blood pressure, is also able to maintain general bone health. The content of Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is very helpful in the process of absorption of nutrients, especially calcium. Good absorption of calcium will strengthen bone and prevent osteoporosis.
- Vitamin B6
This vitamin is usually found in animals, but it is surprising that bananas are a high source of vitamin B6. One banana is able to meet 35% of the recommended intake of vitamin B6 every day. This vitamin acts as an anti-inflammatory and prevents infection. Also, the body needs vitamin B6 to form new cells.
