Banana porridge benefits

I believe everyone is familiar with the benefits of banana porridge. Let’s review it below. I hope you like it.

Banana, also known as sweet banana in ancient times, is soft, sweet and delicious. According to legend, the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, gained wisdom by eating bananas, so it is known as the "fruit of wisdom".

Bananas are very nutritious. Every 100 grams of pulp contains 1.2 grams of protein, 0.5 grams of fat, 19.5 grams of carbohydrates, 0.9 grams of crude fiber, 9 milligrams of calcium, 31 milligrams of phosphorus, 0.6 milligrams of iron. It also contains carotene, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E and rich trace elements such as potassium.

Bananas are very effective for weight loss because they are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber. Bananas are very sweet, so people think that they must be high in calories. In fact, a banana (net weight about 100 grams) has only 87 calories, which is about half the calories of a meal of white rice (150 grams, 220 calories).

In a busy life, more and more people use health foods or supplements to supplement their unbalanced diet. Bananas contain almost all vitamins and minerals, so it is easy to take in a variety of nutrients from bananas. Bananas contain a lot of potassium and magnesium. Potassium can prevent blood pressure from rising and muscle cramps, while magnesium has the effect of eliminating fatigue.

Since bananas are easy to digest and absorb, everyone from children to the elderly can eat them safely and get balanced nutrition. Recently, more and more people skip breakfast, and breakfast is the source of energy for the day. Therefore, bananas, which have immediate effects and can maintain energy for a long time, have become the most suitable food for breakfast. In addition, since bananas are low-calorie foods, even people who are losing weight can eat them without worry.

Banana porridge benefits

From a nutritional point of view, bananas are beneficial fruits rich in starch. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, bananas are sweet and cold in nature. They can clear away heat and moisten the intestines, and promote gastrointestinal motility, but they are not suitable for people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea.

There is always a reasonable explanation for everything. Bananas are cold in nature. According to the principle of "cooling down heat", they are best suited for people with dryness and heat. People with hemorrhoid bleeding and those with fetal movement disorders due to dryness and heat can eat banana flesh raw.

However, because bananas are cold in nature, people with weak constitutions should avoid eating them. For example, people with stomach cold (dry mouth and bloating), weak constitution (diarrhea, easy dizziness), nephritis (also weak constitution), and swollen feet during pregnancy should not eat bananas raw. They can only be eaten after the banana flesh has been steamed and the coldness has been reduced. As for people with cold coughs, they should not eat bananas, but it is acceptable to steam bananas before eating.
