Bananas: The perfect food

Ask people about their favorite food and there’s no telling the answers you will get. Most likely, folks will say anything from pizza to lemon chicken to rib-eye steak to chocolate-glazed donuts.
Alas, the banana is so often left off the list.
When thinking about favorite foods, the banana is many times forgotten.
But banana lovers of the world, don’t fret. Bananas are quite possibly the world’s most perfect food.
Bananas are one of nature’s best energy sources. Eating a banana helps you meet your daily requirement of five fruits and vegetables. Whether you are watching your weight, or just trying to eat right, bananas are convenient, portable and a perfect part of your diet.
Bananas are also the perfect post-exercise snack. During strenuous physical activity, your body loses important vitamins, like B6 and C, as well as minerals like potassium. A banana helps replace these nutrients and helps you maintain your peak performance. That’s why marathon runners and bicycle riders eat bananas after a race.
