Instructions
Step 1
In countries where bananas are grown, these fruits are eaten not only as a dessert, but also as a side dish. For cooking, a special variety of unsweetened bananas are used - they are cooked to prepare a wide variety of dishes. In the Russian store, you can most often find sweet bananas of the Robusta moris variety. Like other types, this banana is very healthy.
Step 2
Bananas contain large amounts of vitamins C and E, which are antioxidants and slow down the aging process, as well as B vitamins, which fight stress, insomnia, and nail and skin problems.
Step 3
Beta-carotene, also found in bananas, is converted into vitamin A in the body, which is essential for cell renewal, eye, heart and vascular health, and normal functioning of the immune system.
Step 4
There are other vitamins in bananas. The main role of vitamin K in the body is normal blood clotting. Vitamin PP is involved in redox processes, has a positive effect on fat metabolism, and lowers the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood.
Step 5
There are many micro and macro elements in bananas. Potassium is one of the most valuable. It is responsible for the normal functioning of the heart, the functioning of the nervous system, and skeletal muscle contractions. Potassium also helps in the fight against edema and high blood pressure. Other chemical elements are also important for humans - phosphorus, magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium, copper and others. They participate in the construction of bone tissue, metabolism, and provide blood formation.
Step 6
Thanks to the natural sugars contained in banana - sucrose, fructose and glucose, this fruit provides a large supply of energy. And the tryptophan in banana is converted into serotonin in the human body, which helps to relax and feel happy.
Step 7
The soft fiber content makes bananas very healthy for the stomach. Doctors recommend using this fruit for exacerbations of chronic gastritis with normal and high acidity.
Step 8
A diet that includes bananas is beneficial for people with cardiovascular insufficiency, hypertension, liver, biliary tract, and kidney disease. Bananas are recommended for skin diseases and metabolic disorders.
Step 9
Despite all its usefulness, bananas should not be consumed by people who have had a heart attack or stroke, as well as suffering from varicose veins or thrombophlebitis. This ban is due to the ability of the banana to increase the viscosity of the blood. You should not eat these fruits and obesity - their calorie content is quite high. People suffering from diabetes can eat bananas, but in limited quantities.
