For What Conditions Are Bananas Beneficial?

Bananas are high in vitamins A, B and C. In fact, according to some authorities, they have so much vitamin C that with young children bananas can often be a main source of this vitamin. As for the minerals, bananas have noteworthy amounts of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and sulphur. Bananas also have the power to aid in the regenerating of haemoglobin in the red cells in the blood.
Because of their low protein content, bananas are recommended for those suffering from kidney disorder. When fully ripe the starch in bananas turns to fructose, and so they are recommended for diabetics who cannot tolerate cane or beet sugar (sucrose). Bananas have been found helpful in many cases of peptic ulcers. Strange as it may seem, bananas are food for those who are overweight and those who are underweight, helping to correct both conditions, even as they are aids to remedying both diarrhoea and constipation.
