Heart & Nerves:Bananas contain a high dose of potassium - an essential ingredient to keep your heart and nervous system in good shape. Some studies have linked low potassium intake to high blood pressure and increased risk of stroke. That is why a regula intake of a banana gives the much needed pottassium in the body.

Kidneys and bones: The high pottassium content in bananas also provide benefits to the kidneys and the bones.

Mood enhancers or mild sedatives Bananas contain tryptophan, which helps the body to produce serotonin, which has a calming effect on the brain (creates a stable mood) and acts as a mild sedative.

Anemia: Bananas are relatively high in iron, which helps the body's hemoglobin function.

Constipation and Diarrhea:Bananas restore a normal bowel function due to their fiber content. They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber (hydrocolloid) that can help normalize movement through the digestive tract.

Heartburn:Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body.

Morning Sickness:Having bananas between meals helps in keeping blood-sugar levels up and avoiding morning sickness.

Stress Relief:Bananas also play a vital role in reducing stress. During periods of high stress, our body's potassium levels tend to be rapidly depleted. Eating bananas is a good way to rebalance them without using drugs
