Here are 6 benefits of eating Banana

1. They are energy boosters

Since they have a low water content, bananas typically have more calories as well as a higher sugar content compared to other fruits.

2. They are one of the best fruit sources of vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine).

Vitamin B6 helps your body:

• Produce red blood cells,
• metabolize carbohydrates and fats, turning them into energy,
• Metabolize amino acids,
• Remove unwanted chemicals from your liver and kidneys, and
• Maintain a healthy nervous system.

3.     Manganese in bananas is good for your skin.

4.     May support mood

Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that the body converts to the feel-good brain chemical serotonin. This brain chemical is known to help relaxation, improve mood, lessen anxiety, and generally make you feel happier.

5.     Banana aids digestion.

6.     Because they are rich in potassium, bananas help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain. This also helps the body maintain a regular heartbeat, lower blood pressure, and a proper balance of water in the body.
