Bananas were originally discovered in South East Asia and grow most abundantly in hot locations like India. World travelers and conquerors eventually brought them to America where they became popular in the early 1800’s.
Now, bananas are one of the most well-known fruits in the U.S. They also happen to be a powerful, nutrient-dense superfood!
Affordable
Even organic bananas are less than $1 per pound. You can find bananas in any grocery store. They are easy to buy in bulk, freeze and use on a daily basis, without breaking the bank.
Mood Boosting
Bananas contain a good amount of tryptophan, which is believed to help boost serotonin levels in the body and improve mood.
Energy Source
Bananas provide a good energy source before and/or after a tough workout. Studies have shown that consuming bananas may even boost endurance and performance.
Prevent Muscle Cramping
Bananas are perhaps most well known for their high levels of potassium, which is an important mineral and electrolyte. Potassium deficiency is often the cause of painful muscle cramping and can also lead to high blood pressure and irregular heartbeat.
Aid Digestion
Bananas are rich in pectin, which has been shown to soothe digestion, clean toxins from the body and even help with the removal of heavy metals. Eating bananas can help you to clear constipation and digestive discomfort.
