Today on the Chopping Block our special guest is the banana. One of the most common questions I get from people is: Are bananas good for me? While bananas so have great health benefits, they do have a higher sugar content compared to other fruits. Bananas are teetering on the edge here of the Chopping Block.
Negatives of Bananas: 1. Bananas contain a lot of sugar, very little protein, and no healthy fat. -1 medium-sized bananas contains 27 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of which are sugar, only 1 gram of protein, and 0 grams of fat. -Bananas, when eaten alone, may affect blood sugar levels. -Bananas are higher on the glycemic index, so they tend to affect insulin and blood sugar more than other fruits, such as berries.
Benefits of Bananas: 1. Bananas are one of the most potassium-rich foods in the world. 2. Bananas are rich in electrolytes to help fuel the cells. -1 banana contains 500 milligrams of potassium and 32 milligrams of magnesium. 3. Bananas are lower on the glycemic index and have a lower amount of carbohydrates than whole grains. 4. Bananas are a great source of fiber. 5. Bananas are real food- unprocessed and unhybridized.
Conclusion: -For people who are trying to lose weight or have digestive issues or sensitive blood sugar, bananas are not the best option, but still better than whole grains. -For people are athletic, lean, and healthy, bananas are a great option.
Bananas stay on the chopping block.
