1. Potassium

Bananas are confirmed to have a very high potassium content. Potassium is a vital mineral that helps maintain blood pressure by balancing out the sodium content in the blood.

2. Cure For Ulcers

They help balance out the pH levels of the stomach walls and strengthen the mucus layer This helps against stomach ulcers and relieves pain.

3. Skin Health

Bananas are very helpful with minor skin irritations like psoriasis and acne. Simply rub the peeled inside of the banana over the infected area. The fatty acids on the banana peel will be absorbed by the skin to heal the infection.

4. Energy Boosters

Bananas have a high sugar and soluble fibre content and that makes them a great source of energy. They are recommended for athletes and people who engage in energy-demanding activities.
