Bananas – A natural way to improve Digestive Health

• There are thousands of varieties of bananas; ripe and unripe bananas impart different health benefits depending on the nutritional content.
• Under ripe bananas are rich in resistant starch that functions like prebiotics and escapes digestion in the upper digestive system and helps keep your gut bacteria healthy. It can also increase the production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate which contributes to digestive health and also reduces the risk of colon cancer 
• It reduces appetite, gives satiety, and keeps fuller for a longer period.
• Very ripe ones are high in sugar and low in fiber and contain rapidly digestible starch which gets metabolized into glucose and gives a quick burst of energy. It also reduces constipation.
• Bananas reduce the acidity of gastric juices by covering the gut lining of ulcer patients, it reduces the pain of ulcers and other gastrointestinal diseases.
