Banana nutrition only contain about 105 calories and only three of those are from fat. Bananas contain no cholesterol and no sodium. They do have sugar content but it's limited to 14 grams a serving. It has three grams of fiber and even one gram of protein.

Even though they taste great, you have to limit yourself as far as how many bananas you can eat in one day. The fat and sugar can catch up to you. One banana a day is good to start off with, from there you can see how things go. And keep in mind, your body burns fat as it processes the banana.

Banana nutrition also contain the best Vitamins, like C and B6, A, as well as riboflavin and folate are. Potassium, magnesium and manganese are also in every bite and all of this goes a long way in regulating blood pressure, and protecting against muscle cramping.

But burning fat is just one benefit this fruit brings, they help to reduce swelling and build white blood cells, as well as strengthen your bones and help to prevent heart diseases.

One of the greatest things I noticed about bananas is the energy I get from them. They give a nice even burst of stable energy that tapers off gradually, not like those energy drinks or junk foods. Plus they make you feel full, so you end up eating less. And the fiber that they have helps your digestion.

There are health experts that say that bananas are way better than any energy drink out there on the market. Next time your around one of those energy drinks take a look at what's inside, can you even pronounce some of the ingredients? Bananas give the body everything that the body needs to go the distance, without the caffeine. The energy boost you get from one banana is of a better quality, because it's natural.

What if you're having trouble eating bananas on a regular basis? Don't monkey around with bananas if you don't like the way they taste or if you can't easily digest them.

One option would be to add it to your cereal, or have you ever heard of a banana sandwich? How about a smoothie, grab the blender and you can add whatever you like to it. Throw in some ice and some other fruits and there you go, there's no need to add any sugar because bananas are naturally sweet.

Bananas can also be served as sides, or added to fruit bowls, fruit salad and cereal. So start making friends with bananas in any way possible. They are one of the healthiest fruits in the entire produce aisle!
