The Calories In A Banana Are Packed With Nutrition

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Arold Augustin

On the average there are 100 calories in a banana. Many people wonder about the benefits the fruit has to offer. Most fruits add vitamins, minerals and fibers that are an important part of one's healthy eating plan. Diets that do not include at least a few fruits in daily servings need careful review. Fruit is important in protecting one's body from diabetes, cancer, hypertension and heart disease.

Many different groups have developed food pyramids to guide one's eating habits. Cultural differences can affect the pyramid. Still, most include fruits near the bottom, indicating they should be included in the largest portion of the food consumed.

Bananas as well as other fruits are essential for the vitamins they provide. Vitamin filled fruits provide the micronutrients needed for proper function and formation of brain, bone, muscle and organ cells. They are needed in many biochemical processes. Supplemental vitamins are not enough to replace the fruits in the diet.

Bananas offer vitamins A, E and K. They are high in citric acid (vitamin C) as well as many of the B complex vitamins, especially B6. The vitamins provided can boost the immune system of the individual by keeping the liver working correctly. In addition, they are essential for vision. Add bananas to cold or hot cereals in the morning and to desserts. The nutrients found in bananas are often not as readily available in other foods.

Bananas are a good source of potassium and magnesium, essential for a healthy body. When humans eat primarily processed carbs or meats, they do not get enough of these essential minerals. Added to other fruits, bananas help to ensure one consumes the minerals necessary for good health.

A single cup of bananas or one fruit offer nearly one quarter of the dietary fiber needed daily. Fiber helps to improve one's digestion and provides other health benefits. The soluble fibers found in fruits can lower cholesterol. In addition, the insoluble fiber moves products through the digestive system, keeping it working properly.

Consumers need to choose a wide variety of fruits. The minerals and vitamins found in these food products are essential to one's health. Eating bananas alone cannot provide all the needed nutrients. Choose fruits seasonally. During the summer, increase the consumption of melons. In the fall, switch to apples. Oranges are best in the winter. Bananas are available all year long. If facing special concerns about one's health, it is best to consult with one's doctor about the best fruits to meet the health needs.

The calories in a banana are a much better choice than empty nutrition of junk food. They offer a low fat source of carbohydrates to provide energy and the necessary nutrients for one's health. Store these fruits at room temperatures to retain the highest quality. If bananas become over ripe, use them in cooking. While some water soluble vitamins may be lost in the cooking process, they can replace oils and fats in many recipes to improve nutrition while reducing the calorie count and improving the overall flavor.
