8 Health Benefits of Bananas

It is recommended to eat 4 bananas per week. Here are the 8 reasons.

1. Diet
   One banana has 11% of the RDA of dietary fiber and only about 108 calories. The fiber in bananas not only keeps digestion regular, but also helps maintain low blood sugar and curbs overeating.
2. Lower Blood Pressure
   Studies show that the high amounts of potassium in bananas (over 13% of the RDA) can lower one's blood pressure, which in turn lessens the possibility of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.
