Bananas are exceptionally tasty, yellow fruits, frequently consumed by physically active individuals, yet often neglected by those who are on a weight-reducing diet. Is this the appropriate approach?

Bananas

Bananas don't need to be introduced to anyone because everyone knows them by their distinctive appearance. In stores you can find traditional yellow-skinned bananas, and recently also red bananas called culinary bananas which should not be eaten raw, but only after heat treatment. The fruit of the smile is a tropical fruit, and from the botanical point of view of the berry. It grows in the regions of the intertropical zone, namely Africa, South and North America, Asia and the Pacific.

Bananas and weight loss

In fact, bananas are a calorie-rich fruit, but they don't have to be excluded from the diet of a person who is losing weight, especially if the person really likes them. It's better to eat less bananas during this period. I recommend choosing smaller bananas and less ripe ones (a little green) because they have less sugar.

Calorie bananas, glycemic index

100 g of bananas contain about 94 calories, whereas the same serving of apples contains 46 calories and pears 56 calories. Due to the high content of simple sugars, bananas are considered to be high glycemic index fruits. It is worth noting that the content of pure carbohydrates is lower in less mature fruits (about 10 g) and increases with the maturity of the fruit (around 25 g). Therefore, green bananas can be consumed by people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and yellow and strongly ripe bananas should be avoided by those mentioned.

Bananas while pregnant, breastfeeding

Bananas are fruits that pregnant and breastfeeding women can consume without worrying about their baby's health. They are a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, fiber, and folic acid (vitamin B9), a deficiency of which in the 3 months before pregnancy and in the first trimester of pregnancy is likely to cause a disorder in the development of the nervous system in the fetus.
