Banana's nutritional properties and health benefits

As the saying goes: "Gold seems ..." And it seems both outside and inside, because the nutritional benefits of the banana are many, to the point that it is the second most consumed fruit in our country, just overtaken by  oranges, and being third, apples, according to the Report on Food Consumption in Spain 2017.

Behind that popularity there is a good handful of nutritional benefits, since "the nutritional properties of the banana distinguish it as one of the fresh fruits with the highest caloric intake per 100 grams of net food. On the other hand, its composition is notable for its high intake of carbohydrates and low in fat and protein , although the type of carbohydrate in the banana it varies according to the degree of maturity, so that the greenest pieces have a greater proportion of starch, and the more mature ones of sucrose, fructose and glucose. In addition, the banana presents variable amounts of tannins, inulin and non-digestible fructooligosaccharides ", explains Iosune Zubieta Satrústegui, graduate and graduate in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Master in Clinical Nutrition, and member of the Nutrition Research Center of the University of Navarra .
Regarding its contribution in minerals , its potassium and magnesium content stand out , as well as a low sodium content "In the same way, bananas are a natural source of fiber , and their vitamin content is very interesting, as it provides vitamin B6 and vitamin C , as well as a lot of potassium and manganese, " adds Manuel Moñino, president of the Official Association of Dieticians. -Nutritionists of the Balearic Islands .


Benefits of banana for health

The sum of all the nutritional properties of the banana makes it an ideal fruit for almost anyone thanks to the benefits it brings to health. "Being a source of potassium, the banana can be considered a cardioprotective fruit , because this mineral helps maintain blood pressure at normal levels," says Martina Miserachs, Institutional Relations of the Spanish Foundation of Dietitians-Nutritionists (FEDN). And to that is added, in addition, that vitamin B6 along with vitamin C "contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and help reduce fatigue and fatigue," he adds.
The magnesium that contributes helps the good functioning of the intestine , the nervous system and the muscles, in addition to improving the immune system. "The banana also contains phytochemical compounds that could be of interest for health, such as catechins, gallocatechins and epocatechins, as well as tannins," specifies Iosune Zubieta.
