Health Foods - Bananas

Bananas:
A rich source of protein and a good source of fibre, bananas also have potent energizing qualities, making them an ideal snack when you feel low on energy. They are a healthy option for fulfilling a craving for something sweet.
The amino acid found in bananas has a mildly sedative effect so makes them a good snack to have at bedtime. It also helps alleviate the symptoms of depression, anxiety and PMS.
Bananas are high in antioxidants - Vitamin C and beta carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A - and in Potassium. They also contain Vitamin B6, which helps protect against heart disease and regulates the nervous system.
Being generally easy to digest, bananas make particularly good food for convalescents or those with appetite related conditions.
