You’ve probably heard of it, and secretly wondered what is banana powder?! How can something so delicious be good for you? In fact, a banana’s health benefits are so impressive, we’re sure our natural and organic powder will be your go to supplement. Americans eat more bananas each year than any other fresh fruit, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
VITAMIN AND NUTRIENT RICH BANANA POWDER: Forget apples. A banana a day keeps the doctor away. Banana health benefits far outweigh those of the apple. That’s because they have many more vitamins and nutrients than their round counterparts. Bananas have twice as many carbohydrates, 5 times as much Vitamin A and iron, and 3 times as much phosphorus as apples. Bananas are also rich in potassium, fiber and natural sugars.
The vitamin C, potassium and other vitamins and minerals bananas contain help to maintain overall good health. Because the fruit’s sugar content is balanced with fiber, it helps maintain a healthy blood glucose level. Even people with diabetes can enjoy a banana, according to the American Diabetes Association.
HEALTHY ENERGY BOOSTER: Bananas are a better source of energy than expensive sports drinks, according to a 2012 study at Appalachian State University, published in PLoS ONE. Bananas also are an ideal pick-me-up.
When you feel tired and sluggish in the afternoon don’t go for coffee or a sugary snack. Grab our natural and organic powder instead.
BETTER HEALTH FOR THE HEART: Because they are rich in potassium, bananas help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain. This also helps the body maintain a regular heartbeat, lower blood pressure and a proper balance of water in the body, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Potassium-rich foods are also known to reduce the risk of strokes in older women, according to a 2014 study in the American Heart Association journal, Stroke.
BANANA POWDER IS LIKE A NATURAL LAXATIVE: Take our banana powder and you might say goodbye to constipation. Well-ripened bananas have a type of fiber that helps to restore and maintain regular bowel functions. They are a natural source for improving the movement of waste through the bowels, according to a 2014 Chinese study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
BANANAS MAY AID WEIGHT LOSS: Would you have ever though that bananas might help you lose weight? Bananas do have several attributes that can make them a weight-loss-friendly-food. Eating more fiber from vegetables and fruits like bananas has repeatedly been linked to lower body weight and weight loss. At a low calorie count, bananas tend to be very filling and may reduce your appetite even in powder form.
SUPPORTS HEART HEALTH: Potassium is a mineral that is essential for heart health — especially blood pressure control. Despite its importance, few people get enough potassium in their diet. Bananas are a great dietary source of potassium.
A potassium-rich diet can help lower blood pressure, and people who eat plenty of potassium have up to a 27% lower risk of heart disease. Furthermore, bananas contain a decent amount of magnesium, which is also important for heart health.
POWERFUL AND NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS: Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of dietary antioxidants, and bananas are no exception. They contain several types of potent antioxidants, including dopamine and catechins. These antioxidants are linked to many health benefits, such as a reduced risk of heart disease and degenerative illnesses. Dopamine from bananas does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It simply acts as a strong antioxidant instead of altering mood.
