A banana is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
Bananas contain three natural sugars sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant boost of energy and can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent illnesses and conditions such as strokes. According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
