Study reveals, eating bananas prevents heart diseases

One of the most widely consumed fruits worldwide is the banana. They include necessary nutrients that can help to protect one's health. Some of them are magnesium, potassium, manganese, fibre, protein and vitamins like B6 and C. Consuming bananas can lower blood pressure, lessen the chance of cancer, and even lower risk of heart attacks.

Banana is a rich source of potassium. In fact, one banana has 455 mg of potassium. Every heartbeat is critically dependent on potassium. It pushes the heart to pump blood through the body 100,000 times every day. Additionally, it facilitates the functioning of the neurons, muscles, helps kidneys with blood filtration and regulates the flow of nutrients in and out of cells which further helps in maintaining the body fluid levels.
