BANANAS


> unripe, green bananas contain lots of resistant starch and pectin (dietary fibre) which feed beneficial gut bacteria. The fibre is fermented by these bacteria to form butyrate, which promotes gut health.

> most fibre is soluble and helps keep cholesterol & BP in check, and eases inflammation.

> potassium-rich foods help manage BP by relaxing blood vessel walls and aids removal of sodium when you pee.

> vitamin B6 supports metabolism, brain development during pregnancy and infancy, and immune system health.

> vitamin C protects cells from free radical damage due to poor nutrition, cigarette smoke, pesticides etc. It also improves immune system function.

> magnesium helps control BP and blood sugar and keeps your bones strong.
