Bananas are the ordinary civilians in the world of tropic fruit. They are delicious but inexpensive. They are close friends of people. Nearly all of the people eat them now and then. The most important reason is that they always bring us magic. However,The Magic of Banana  Articles what is the magic? In fact, the magic refers to its multiple functions. Then what are the functions of bananas? And do you know how to eat bananas? Today, let us listen to what the dieticians have said. 

When watching the matches, especially some time-consuming competitions like tennis games, we often see athletes eat bananas during the breaks. Why do they eat bananas at that time? Are they hungry? Or do they want to make up their energy? Actually, athletes are not suggested to eat full when they are doing sports. They eat bananas during the matches for the purpose of making up the lost energy. Dieticians tell us that eating bananas before matches is beneficial to their performances. From a perspective of the nutrition, the sugar in bananas can be converted into dextrose rapidly and then absorbed by the human body immediately. It is a quite fast source of energy. Meanwhile, bananas contain a large amount of potassium, which can strengthen the power of muscles and endurance. As a result, athletes are sincere fans of bananas. 

Bananas have many other medical functions. First of all, they are good at lowering the blood pressure. It seems ridiculous because bananas are carriers of calories. In fact, we should explain it from another aspect. Dieticians hold the view that the potassium in the human body works as a controller of natrium. Eating adequate bananas has the function of lowering the blood pressure and preventing high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Research has indicated that two bananas a day can lower 10% of the blood pressure. A lot of mothers tend to let their children eat bananas when the astriction happens. They are right. Dieticians explain that the soluble fibers in bananas help digest and adjust the function of intestines. In addition, bananas are useful when someone is in a blue mood or even suffers from insomnia, for the protein in bananas can calm the nervous. So such people can try some bananas before going to sleep. 

Bananas are nutritious. But unfortunately, they are not suitable for everyone. The rich potassium does not meet the needs of nephritis patients. Such patients are advised not to eat more than half a banana a day. Diabetics are not allowed to eat bananas, either. It is because that the sugar in bananas is so much that every 100 grams of bananas contain about 87,000 calories. Consequently, those who are on a diet may not eat bananas too much as well.
