Yes, you can eat a banana every morning as long as you don’t eat it that way

The stalls of our market gardeners and supermarkets are full of fruits and vegetables. Depending on the seasons, this wide choice changes. Only certain varieties are present throughout the year. We are thinking in particular of apples and bananas.

And that’s good because these two fruits are the favorites of the majority of French people. If the apple is one of the most recommended varieties to stay healthy, expert opinion is more controversial about bananas.

This exotic fruit is rich in many essential nutrientsIt’s true. However, to benefit fully from it, it is advisable not to savor it this way. Nutritionist Émeline Bacot shared her expertise on this subject in the columns of Top Health.

The benefits of banana…

Like most fruits and vegetables, bananas contain many nutrients that are beneficial to our health. Some people find this variety perhaps a little too high in calories compared to these counterparts. But this fruit still remains one of the best. And for good reason…

Its effects are more than positive on different things. The first is that its nutrients allow us to maintain a good mood in the long term. “Bananas are a source of dopamine, tryptophan and vitamin B6, which have a positive effect on mood. »explains the nutrition specialist.

And that’s not all! “Thanks to its richness in potassium, it helps reduce blood pressure and is therefore beneficial in combating hypertension. »adds Émeline Bacot to our colleagues. Banana can even cure heartburn. The latter acts as a bandage against gastric reflux.

… Provided you do not consume it in this form at the start of the day

So many good things! But the nutritionist warns. Indeed, according to his words, a form of banana very popular in the morning is not recommended for health. “The banana helps replenish glycogen stocks but also regulates the acidity generated by physical activity,” she declares.

However, you should not limit your consumption in smoothie form. As a result, the level of flavonols, which are antioxidants, is greatly reduced.
