The fruit contains good amounts  of health benefiting anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Banana pulp is  composed of soft, easily digestible flesh with simple sugars like  fructose and sucrose that when eaten replenishes energy and revitalizes  the body instantly; thus, for these qualities, bananas are being used by  athletes to get instant energy and as supplement food in the treatment  plan for underweight children.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The fruit  contains good amount of soluble dietary fiber (7% of DRA per 100 g) that  helps normal bowel movements; thereby reducing constipation problems.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It contains many  health promoting flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants such as lutein,  zeaxanthin, beta and alpha carotenes in small amounts. These compounds  help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals  and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various  disease processes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It is also a very good source of vitamin-B6  (pyridoxine), provides about 28% of daily-recommended allowance.  Pyridoxine is an important B-complex vitamin that has beneficial role in  the treatment of neuritis, anemia, and decreasing homocystine (one of  the causative factor for coronary artery disease (CHD) and stroke  episodes) levels in the body.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The fruit is also good source of vitamin-C  (about 8.7 mg per 100g). Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps  body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful  oxygen free radicals.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fresh bananas  provide adequate levels of minerals like copper, magnesium, and  manganese. Magnesium is essential for bone strengthening and has  cardiac-protective role as well.  Manganese is used by the body as a  co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is  required in the production of red blood cells.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fresh banana is a  very rich source of potassium. 100 g fruit provides 358 mg potassium.  Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps  control heart rate and blood pressure, countering bad effects of sodium.</li> </ul>  <a href="http://www.khilafatworld.com/2011/12/health-benefits-of-banana.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Khilafat+%28Khilafat+World%29&utm_content=FaceBook" target="_blank">http://www.khilafatworld.com/2011/12/health-benefits-of-banana.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Khilafat+(Khilafat+World)&utm_content=FaceBook</a> </blockquote>
