Bananas not for breakfast

Bananas are among the most popular types of fruit of the German citizens. The fruits are not only delicious, but also very healthy. They are above all rich in potassium and magnesium as well as vitamin B6. It also contains other minerals, vitamins and trace elements. Nevertheless, a health expert advises against eating bananas for breakfast. Because the benefits of the fruit could then be lost quickly.

Well digestible fruit
Bananas are generally easy to digest, especially ripe fruits. The fruit is therefore recommended not only as a baby food, but also in intestinal complaints.

Curiously, bananas are used both in diarrhea, and as a home remedy for constipation.

In the latter case, however, more mature fruits must be used, as unripe bananas contain starch that is difficult to digest.

Lots of sugar and acid
For breakfast, you should not take the yellow fruit, says the doctor and nutrition expert. Daryl Gioffre on the blog "Byrdie".

"If you do not balance a banana breakfast with a healthy fat, many of the benefits of bananas are lost," says the health coach.

This is because the fruit contains a lot of acid, which, however, can be neutralized by healthy fats. If this does not happen, the body can not absorb many important ingredients so well.

According to other experts, bananas can not develop their full potential on an empty stomach. The body can therefore only eat healthy nutrients such as vitamin B6 or potassium together with other foods.

Bananas with yogurt and nuts
The fruits are not enough to fill you until lunchtime. Gioffre. Soon, fatigue and cravings set in.

"They give you a quick boost, but you'll soon be tired and hungry," says the expert.

Because bananas, which the doctor calls "sweets of nature", contain a relatively high amount of sugar (around 25 percent) and as a result the blood sugar level rises in a flash, but it also drops just as quickly.

In addition, the abundant sugar fermented in the body, become alcohol and affect the digestive system.

All this does not mean that bananas are taboo in the morning. They should be consumed in combination with other foods. For example, along with cereal, yogurt and nuts. (sb, ad)
