• The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry (February, 2001) attests to the anti-ulcer properties of the banana. Bananas act like a natural antacid to the stomach. In this article, they identified the secret component in the banana, the flavonoid leucocyanidin. Studies show that bananas can protect against aspirin-induced gastritis and significantly increase the mucous membrane lining of the stomach.        
• Bananas are high in fiber and vitamins.
• A single banana contains 16 percent of the dietary fiber, 15 percent of the vitamin C, 11 percent of potassium, and 20 percent of vitamin B6 recommended each day. Apples have zero amount of vitamin C. Bananas also have soluble fiber, which may help lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.    
• Bananas are good for the heart. - Potassium is an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance, acidity level, and blood pressure of the body. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness and irregular heartbeat. For patients taking a diuretic medicine, they should take two bananas a day to keep the potassium level up. Take note also that bananas have zero sodium (good for high blood pressure) and zero fat and cholesterol (good for those with high cholesterol).     
• Bananas may reduce strokes. - Numerous studies have shown that low potassium levels can cause heart palpitations, which can then lead to stroke. In the editorial of the prestigious Neurology Journal, the author suggests that a "Banana a day may keep stroke away". Among the fruits and vegetables, bananas contain one of the highest amounts of potassium.     
• Bananas help counter stress and insomnia.     
• Bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that is known to make you feel happy and improve your mood. If you feel sad, don’t despair. Take a banana and be happy.                    
• Diabetics may take bananas in moderation.          
• Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep the blood sugar normal. The food-and-nutrition glycemic index rating for a ripe, yellow banana is 51, which is fairly good. This means that the carbohydrates in a banana have a medium-to-slow effect in raising your blood sugar levels. However, as bananas ripen, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar and may cause your blood sugar to raise more. The lesson is: It’s okay to eat a banana, but not the overripe one.

The result suggests that fruits or fruit juices containing vitamin C and potassium may reduce the risk of childhood leukemia, especially if consumed at a young age.    
• Bananas may prevent childhood asthma. - A European study of 2,640 primary school children in South London concludes that eating bananas at least once a day reduces episodes of wheezing and asthma attacks in children (European Respiratory Journal, Feb. 14, 2007).
