Bananas are often called one of nature's perfect foods because
they are said to contain many of the nutrients that a person
needs to survive.
One of the most important nutritional components of Bananas
is that they contain potassium and fiber.

Bananas are also high in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin B2.
The Potassium in bananas often gets a bad rap due to the confusion
with sodium (salt).
Potassium contributes to healthy blood pressure as well as healthy
heart functions.
People who consume bananas and other foods high in potassium are
less likely to develop atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.

Bananas are also known as one of nature's own antacids. They are known to help protect against stomach ulcers and ulcer damage.
The reason for this seldom known and almost odd fact is that bananas contain "mucilaginous bulking substances".
The help the intestines with producing a mucous lining and are very easy to digest.
Besides all of the above fantastic healthy qualities, bananas are the one of the best convenience foods.
They come in their own jackets and there is no need to wash them, simply peel & eat.
