Bananas are also high in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin B2.

The Potassium in bananas often gets a bad rap due to the confusion

with sodium (salt).

Potassium contributes to healthy blood pressure as well as healthy

heart functions.

People who consume bananas and other foods high in potassium are

less likely to develop atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.

The help the intestines with producing a mucous lining and are very easy to digest.
