Health benefits of banana fruit
-
Banana fruit is rich in
calories, but very low in fats. The fruit
contains
good amounts of health benefiting anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins.
-
Banana pulp is
composed of
soft, easily digestible flesh with simple sugars like fructose and
sucrose that when eaten replenishes energy and revitalizes the body
instantly; thus, for these qualities, bananas are being used by
athletes to get instant energy and as supplement food in the treatment
plan for underweight
children.
-
The fruit contains good
amount of
soluble dietary fiber (7% of DRA per 100 g) that helps normal bowel
movements; thereby
reducing constipation problems.
-
It contains many health
promoting flavonoid poly-phenolic
antioxidants such as lutein,
zeaxanthin, beta and alpha carotenes in small amounts.
These compounds help act as protective scavengers against
oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that
play a role in aging and various disease processes.
-
It is also a very good
source
of vitamin-B6
(pyridoxine), provides about 28% of daily-recommended
allowance. Pyridoxine is an important B-complex vitamin that has
beneficial role in the treatment of neuritis, anemia, and decreasing
homocystine
(one of the causative factor for coronary
artery disease
(CHD) and stroke episodes) levels in the body.
-
The fruit is also good
source of vitamin-C (about 8.7 mg per
100g). Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps body develop
resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen free
radicals.

Fresh bananas provide
adequate levels of minerals like copper, magnesium,
and manganese. Magnesium is essential for bone
strengthening and
has cardiac-protective role as well. Manganese is used by the
body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide
dismutase.
Copper is required in the production of red blood cells.
-
Fresh
banana is a very
rich
source of potassium. 100 g fruit provides 358 mg potassium. Potassium
is
