✅ Positive Effects
1. More energy and a better mood
Bananas contain natural sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) that provide quick energy.
They are rich in vitamin B6, which supports the production of serotonin—the “happy hormone.”
2. Good digestion
One medium banana provides about 3 grams of fiber.
It therefore promotes intestinal health and can relieve constipation and regulate diarrhea (depending on ripeness).
3. Heart health
Bananas are a very good source of potassium (approximately 400–450 mg per banana).
Potassium helps lower blood pressure by balancing sodium levels in the body.
4. Supports muscles and recovery
Potassium and carbohydrates make them ideal after exercise.
Can prevent muscle cramps.
5. Strengthens the immune system
Vitamins C and B6 contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
⚠️ Possible Disadvantages of Excessive Consumption
1. Too Much Sugar
One banana contains approximately 12–15 g of sugar.
Eating several bananas per day can put a strain on blood sugar levels – especially relevant for people with diabetes.
2. Excessive Calorie Intake
