Are bananas good for your digestive system? Hell, yeah!
However, before we delve deeper into how this sweet marvel works like magic for your digestive health, let's just make a note of all the goodness it's packed with.
An ordinary banana fruit which is 100% carbide-free, for instance, like a Keventer banana, is rich in fibres and potassium. It is also totally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and sodium-free. A real banana will also have oodles of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and various antioxidants and phytonutrients. Now all of these play a vital part in supporting good digestive health. Read on, to know how.
Let's begin with a banana's fibre content. Not only does a medium sized banana provide for 10% of an adult's daily fibre need, but the fibre and the water in the fruit promote regularity and induce better digestive health. While high-fibre content can cause bloating, gas, or stomach cramps, not bananas. They, according to a study conducted in 2021, improve symptoms, instead. Bananas also contain the fibre, 'pectin', which plays an important role in how your body controls the rate of digestion of carbohydrates.
When you suffer from diarrhoea, you know how much water you lose. However, along with fluids you also lose vital electrolytes such as potassium. Now, bananas being rich in this nutrient, easily replenish the deficit.
The probiotics in bananas are the same as the good bacteria found in your gut. The fruit also contains prebiotics and carbs that feed these good bacteria. These probiotics can ease irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also aid in treating some gut infections, and lessen lactose intolerance.
Bananas also contain a unique fructose-filled carb called Fructooligosaccharides (FOS). This is a nutrient that the body cannot completely digest, but which, upon reaching the lower intestine, helps in maintaining the balance of good bacteria.
Finally, Vitamin B6, which contains Pyridoxine, helps your digestive system by processing the proteins you intake. By boosting protein metabolism, it also helps maintain the balance of amino acids in the body.
Now that you know how amazing this fruit is when it comes to promoting good digestive health, rush to your nearest store to grab some 100% carbide-free Keventer bananas. Indulge in this sweet, nutritious treat to keep yourself and your gut, happy.
