Green Bananas. Green Bananas contain resistant starch. According to registered dietitian Jill Corleone this type of starch acts more like a fiber in your body. “Resistant starch in your diet, like the green banana, may reduce your risk of diabetes by aiding in blood sugar control, and heart disease by helping to lower blood cholesterol levels,” she wrote in an article for Livestrong. Their high fiber content means younger bananas keep you full for longer. This helps your appetite stay in check thus promoting weight loss. Under-ripe bananas are also very low on the glycemic index making them an ideal snack for those who need to control their blood sugar levels. 3. Yellow bananas. Yellow, firm bananas contain antioxidants that protect our bodies from various illnesses. Corleone noted one antioxidant present is dopamine, which reduces the risk of heart disease as well as degenerative diseases. She said while dopamine is usually known to act as a feel-good chemical in the brain, you won’t get that from eating a banana, unfortunately. “Dopamine from bananas does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It simply acts as a strong antioxidant instead of altering hormones or mood,” she wrote. Bananas contain more sugar as they age, and so yellow bananas are on the sweeter side. Are you curious about what other health benefits bananas have? Well, stick around til the very end, because after we tell you about the effects different colored bananas may have on your health, we’ll tell you about about the overall health benefits of bananas, and why you should be eating them more! 2. Yellow bananas with spots. Yellow bananas with brown spots aren’t quite as healthy as their younger counterparts, but they still contain a lot of antioxidants. They are even sweeter than yellow bananas and are usually the most popular choice when it comes to taste. A group of Japanese researchers from Teikyo University has proven that bananas at this ripeness can actually fight cancer. They found that spotted bananas contain 8 times the amount of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) than green bananas. According to PubMed, TNF helps to break down abnormal cells in our body, namely cancerous tumors. The cancer-fighting substance also benefits our immune system by guiding white blood cells to areas in the body that are inflamed or infected. 1. Brown bananas. Brown bananas, while they are the sugariest, still have high levels of potassium. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, foods high in potassium help prevent conditions like osteoporosis. Brown bananas also contain the mood-altering amino acid tryptophan. In a report by Life Extension, tryptophan is said to regulate your moods. It can help ease depression, anxiety and also help you sleep better. The older a banana gets, the easier they are to digest making brown ones ideal for those with digestive issues. As bananas head to the end of their shelf life, they begin to lose their nutrients. Therefore, brown bananas should be kept in the refrigerator to minimize further loss. If you like to eat your bananas when they are brown, you may want to reconsider that. You won’t be getting as many nutrients as you could be getting. And besides, who wants to eat brown, mushy bananas?! Yuck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to Bestie : https://goo.gl/tUqro6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestieinc/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical Disclaimer: https://pastebin.com/xLmigD6i
