Banana is a facilitator of reducing cholesterol


https://www.goodhousekee...ow-to-lower-cholesterol/

In terms of calorie , 1 piece of banana contains 80 to 100 calories.
Human beings require 1,500 to 3,000 calories per day to function practically.
A fundi for example required more calories per day than an office worker.

I always recommend 3 or 4 banana consumption at LUNCH time NOT DINNNER. This is far fetched .

Lunch time is midday and you require moderate calories to function for the rest of the day.
4 bananas contribute 400 calories out of an average 2,000 calories you need in the day , this is a fair deal. It cannot never make you PUT ON WEIGHT as widely believed .
The safeguard in banana is to minimize or avoid eating it for dinner.
WHY
Because night time is for repairs not actually for digestion so eating a lot of calories be it banana or other foods , the body will just convert it to fat and store in your body.
Taking banana at lunch time helps you to reduce hunger cravings in the night

Banana therapy as my friend @vision2030 told me when he read my postings is actual a smart meal.
In my last 4 years at work before I retired I was consistently on banana-for-lunch.

WHY ?
- I had a very hectic work schedule it was the easiest way to steal a few moment , and take my smart lunch with water.
- Cheap and easily available all year round

- Rich in fiber and pottasium. Potassium
helps to ward off high blood pressure.

There are a lot of myths and misconception about food. Most of them are based on hearsay as they are not scientifically proven.

In my minority south eastern Nigeria Ibibio tribe culture, it is believed that

- A child should not be given egg otherwise the child will become a thief in future.

- A child should not drink cocoa but butter otherwise he will be a dull student in the class.....
