2. It puts us in a good mood
If I mention tryptophan and dopamine, you know what they are? These are the magic ingredients that make our brain feel good and in a good mood.
And guess which fruit contains them? The banana, of course.
It’s not for nothing that we use the expression “to have the banana”. Tryptophan, which turns into serotonin, somehow tells the brain to relax.
It gives a feeling of well-being. This fruit also contains a significant amount of vitamin B6, or pyridoxine for the more knowledgeable.
This vitamin also allows the production of the famous serotonin and dopamine. I will even go further.
Some studies have shown that vitamin B6 and tryptophan reduce the symptoms of depression!
So when you feel down, eat a banana.
3. It facilitates digestion
The banana allows our microbiota to be better off thanks to the resistant starches it contains.
That is to say, it allows good bacteria to develop within our intestinal flora.
Result: our digestive system is repaired, regenerated and healthier.
This fruit is therefore excellent for people with transit problems.
Its effects on the transit are even more important when we eat unripe green bananas.
And then, the vitamin B6 also does the job against constipation. So to regain a good intestinal transit, eat bananas!
Oh yes, don’t be afraid; this fruit can perfectly be part of your slimming diet.
Rich in fiber, minerals and resistant starch (it is a type of sugar), it is very satiating. This allows you not to throw yourself on foods that are real calorie bombs!
