“Bananas – A great Fibre Diet” – Delna Pooniwala.
Over the years we have heard of Banana’s being fattening and a fruit to be avoided when on a diet. However, contrary to what we have been informed, Bananas would not really add to your weight if consumed in the right quantity, not consumed along with fats and if you are within your recommended calorie quota for the day.
Bananas are loaded with potassium, vitamins A, B6 & 12, C, D, E, K, Folate, magnesium, Protein and Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids. They are Mineral & fibre rich, with soluble fibre too, which is recommended for lowering cholesterol. Bananas may make you feel full and satisfied for a long duration after it is eaten, due to the fibre too and hence recommended during weight loss.
