When was the last time you had a banana? Did you know that if you haven't been eating bananas regularly that you've been missing out on the good stuff? Bananas are full of vitamins and mineral, all of which the body needs. Eating bananas will keep you energized and healthy for the long haul.
Did you know that bananas have no cholesterol? They have no sodium either. One banana has about 105 calories depending on it's size, and about 3 of those calories are from fat. They also have 3 grams of fiber, one gram of protein and about 14 grams of sugar.
Because of the fat and sugar content, you can't go overboard and eat bananas all day. However, a banana a day never hurt anyone. In fact, you burn fat just processing this funny looking fruit!
Because of the vitamins that this fruit contains like, vitamins B6, C, A, magnesium and potassium, they are what help fight against muscle cramps. They also help regulate blood pressure.
But burning fat is just one benefit this fruit brings, they help to reduce swelling and build white blood cells, as well as strengthen your bones and help to prevent heart diseases.
Bananas have fiber, and this helps aid your digestion. Unlike processed snacks, which will only leave you hungry for more garbage, bananas make you feel full and very energetic.

Not to mention you get a caffeine crash or an upset stomach or the jitters. Not with bananas though, because it's nice and even, and there's no crash. This is what mother nature intended.

Instead, why not use their flavor by making a delicious smoothie? Bananas add sweetness to a smoothie drink because of their moderate sugar content. Frozen bananas or bananas and ice may even give your health drink an ice cream like texture.
