Answer2: Bananas are rich in potassium. "Numerous studies indicate that this nutrient can help strengthen your bones and lower your risk of high blood pressure and stroke," states Health magazine in an article about bananas. "Bananas," the magazine adds, "contain birth-defect-fighting folate, a B vitamin crucial for anyone who is pregnant or of childbearing age." Bananas contain other vital minerals, such as magnesium, which helps bones absorb calcium and thus remain strong.

The protein in a banana is made up of 18 amino acids, including all the essential ones that your body cannot make in sufficient quantity or at all. The fruit is 22 percent carbohydrate, which provides quick energy because bananas are so easy to digest. "Bananas are a good source of vitamins A, B, and C. Also, they appear to suppress the appetite, since one never seems inclined to eat too many at once." So why not have one-it will be good for you and so delicious!
