Nutritional benefits of bananas
The banana is a nutritious fruit. The best source potassium you can find, but there are many other benefits to eating this fruit.
The banana, the comedian's friend. For as long as there has been comedy, the old banana peel gag has been around. The average person consumes up to 27 pounds of bananas per year. Their benefits are long reaching and help to restore balance to your system.
As we all know, the banana is one of nature's best sources of potassium. Potassium is known to significantly lower the risk of high blood pressure and related diseases like heart attack and strokes. Bananas are believed to prevent dangerous low-density lipoprotein from oxidizing, which causes it to stick to the walls of the arteries. This accumulation can contribute to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, a major contributor to heart attack, stroke and high blood pressure. Even one serving of a potassium rich food, such as bananas, can lower your risk of stroke by up to 40%.
New research is indicating that bananas are helpful in ulcer treatment. They seem to act as a natural antacid. First, they stimulate the stomach's production of protective mucus which helps to prevent harsh acids from touching the tender stomach lining, causing an ulcer. Second, the protease inhibitor found in bananas appears to kill the harmful bacteria that help to cause ulcers.
Bananas also contain electrolytes, which are essential for maintaining fluid levels and preventing dehydration. 30% of your DV of vitamin B6 is provided by one banana. B6 keeps your nervous system in top working condition and boosting immunity. Folate is also in bananas, which is needed for proper tissue growth, and can protect against birth defects, heart disease, and cancer.
To keep your bananas fresh, you should keep them out at room temperature. If you are waiting for green bananas to ripen you can speed up the process by putting them in a brown paper bag at room temperature. If bananas are not to your liking, you can mash them up and add them to a variety of recipes from meatloaf to casseroles, the taste of the dish will be slightly sweetened but without the direct taste of the banana.

I can't beleive how many of you guys are serious about not eating fruit. I mean shit filled calories???? This is the shit our ancestors ate as hunters and gatherers. They didn't sell whey protein by the tub back then.
Maybe to get down to low single digit bf the omission of fruit is necessary but I just can't see a couple of pieces a day being a wortheless addition to anyones diet.
Who knows, maybe I'm missing something?

The part that "makes you fat" in fruits is the fructose (fruit sugar). As with everything, eat in moderation. If you're really worried about it, buy green bananas and freeze them (to keep them longer). They have much less fructose than ripe ones. I ate a banana a day, whether bulking or cutting.
