Bananas are among the most widely consumed
fruits on the planet. The curvy yellow fruits are high in
"potassium and pectin, a form of fiber," said
Laura Flores, a San Diego-based nutritionist.
They can also be a good way to get magnesium
and vitamins C and B6. "Bananas are high in
antioxidants, which can provide protection from
free radicals, which we come into contact with
every day, from the sunlight to the lotion you
put on your skin," Flores added.
Flores reported a wide variety of health benefits
associated with the fruit. "Bananas are known
to reduce swelling, protect against developing
type-2 diabetes, aid in weight loss, strengthen
the nervous system and help with production of
white blood cells, all due to the high level of
vitamin B6 that bananas contain," she told Live
Science.
